Sun Mote Copse The little cloud who wouldn't and the rainbow who couldn't.

Fennec let out a slight groan, but it was in obvious disappointment in her own failure to keep her feet and not because she was hurt.  Yeah.  I... yeah.  She didn't need to give the excuse that she thought the fight was done.  She should have been ready for anything.

You don't have to make noise.  You can, but don't do it just for me.  She said, catching the tone behind Towhee's words and choosing to ignore it for the sake of her own pride.  She obviously didn't see the expression, which made it easier.  She didn't realize there was more than simple worry behind the garbled words.  I have to learn either way.  No noise made it harder because she had to follow only paw steps, something that took more concentration and gave less warning.  She wasn't good at it; she probably never would be.  But if she didn't practice she definitely never would be.  She couldn't guarantee every attacker would be so courteous as to announce.
