Oh!
The realization struck her like a blow to the head, as if she'd been kicked by a deer midhunt. The dove's green gaze widened as he brushed up against her, flitting away nervously to the trees as the yearling shied in a slow recoil -- her steps backwards small and measured as if she didn't want to anger him. The caramel swathe of Lótë's throat bobbed in a gulp as she cleared it, lips twitching in an attempt of smiling as she feigned nonchalance despite the way her face burned beneath the cover of fawn fur.
"I'm sorry," she managed, though her octaves warbled ever so slightly with anxiety. For what, she couldn't quite define. Her ignorance over exactly what he meant? Accidentally leading him on -- had she done that? She couldn't say for sure. By the spirits, you're horrible at this flirting thing. She shook her head slightly, reminding herself that she wasn't trying to flirt with Zane.
"It was nice speaking with you but I should go. Border patrol and all," the girl murmured in a weak excuse, her skin crawling with some emotion that had been long repressed. Shame, maybe, as the memories trickled into her thoughts. She shot the he-wolf a tight smile, eyes not quite meeting, before darting away -- trying to smother the past as she loped through the pines.
