Of all the things, Arlette didn't expect a laugh from the male. She stayed in her position though, feeling extremely uncertain when she looked at him. She tried to shuffle into a sitting position but kind of ended in a half crouch, ears back. Because she wasn't sure if the male really meant that she should relax.
