Redtail Rise ritenuto

She picked up on some uncomfortable emotion--the ducking of his muzzle, the stutter in his speech--and wondered how she could help, if she could at all. She felt bad that she could not give him her name, but she did not have a name, anyway, even if she could speak. Perhaps Ashlar was shy, and did not like meeting new people. Wanting to make him more comfortable, she lay down, tail thumping the ground, and flumped (I invented a word lol) over onto her side. Surely he couldn't be nervous if she showed how relaxed she was. Then she looked up at him, tongue lolling out of her mouth, eyes sparkling. There. How much friendlier could ya get?

She's trying so hard lol
