However, his hot breath was still on her, so like a petrified deer standing in from of a car's headlights she remained motionless under his feet. A few seconds of silence rolled by, giving each a chance to recover their breath and start assimilating the recent events -- though for a girl like Cara, a couple of seconds were never enough.

The jagged breaths that had been left by their collision soon faded, and where a frown laid just seconds before, a soft smile began to appear. "I am willing to" she barked, raising her muzzle of the cold floor ever so slightly, not with the intention of a challenge or complaint but to simply give strenght to her affirmation.
