Iktome Plains Risk is its own Reward

A light groan escaped him as her weight landed on him and pushed the air from his chest. It all happened so suddenly. One moment in the grass hidden and silent. Then the next loud bird screeching and being tripped over. Luckily the bird screeching had flown off and the dust settling. Before she could even speak he was apologizing nervously. "Oh... I'm sorry... I didn't mean..." but he ceased his initial frantic response when he heard her laugh.

A breathless response in the form of humorous flirtation...
...

For the few moments that she lay atop him, he felt hot. A flash of warmth sent through him and a pounding in his chest. A light ringing in his ear made it difficult to hear and he froze.
...

But as she managed to lift herself and continued to speak things returned to normal and he caught just the end of her words giving and requesting a name. He shook his head and stood up, taking a deep breath, and a step back before shaking off his coat, so as not to spray any dirt on her. "My apologizes Heph" he said bowing his head in greeting towards her. "I am Andromed Dorian. Though you may call me Andr if you wish. It was not my intention to interrupt your... bird watching" he said with a relieved smile.
