Swiftcurrent Creek And i just want to be alone

Arlette wasn't met with a charming grin or a wink which was unusual to her. Arlette's ears flopped back uncertainly. She stepped forward and gave herself a light shake, but made sure not to cover Arric with splatters. Her red eyes took him in. "Do you want to talk about it?," she asked. She knew if she would ask if he was alright he would probably say that he was fine. And now, if he didn't want to talk about it he could just tell her then she would back off.

She wasn't sure what it was that bothered him, but he seemed on edge. Maybe she could help, and if not she would accept her loss.
