Her thoughts were the same, yet the intentions so different.
So friendly! Her tail gave a small wave, and she felt worse leaving, but grateful at the same time that he didn't seem to mind. She was turning, completely at ease, when he lunged to strike; she wasn't even remotely prepared. In Maia's experience, a smile was a smile; she hadn't bothered to read his eyes.

She was stunned for an instant, but then as her breath returned, a realization came too. He was biting her and it hurt. She kicked out, wriggling to get free, but completely silent in her panic.
