Broken Boulder living a little

As soon as she appeared through the darkening sky around him, he drew himself to a quick stand and gave a bright smile. His large tail moving swiftly back and forth, throwing her surprised words to the wind as he began to walk and close their distance. Without a second thought he immediately drove in to push his head into her neck and into a hug. Desperate to know that she was hear and alive, safe and free - he owed so much to her and he barely knew her. Yet, words still did not seem to wish to form. Instead, he pulled back away from her and gave a sigh of relief. Thanks to you, so far. That stranger who had attempted to challenge him for doing no harm nor instigating any fight had been a strong contender and one that he had not been prepared to fight. So for Heloise to show up like that had been quite a blessing and something he could never repay her for. At least, he hadn't thought of anything yet. Come, he asked as he turned to venture back to his place among the overhang that was safe from the storm, we can ride out the storm here. It's dry. He assumed it would be for some time considering the width of the rocks that sheltered them.
