The Tangle perpetual timepiece

Dread streamed down her spine, and her eyes widened in fear at the thought of a wildcat. She had seen what they could do to wolves once before, and she knew deep down that she would never survive such an encounter again. She was no fighter, of that she was sure. She was more of the watch from the shadows, remain unseen kinda girl. It was just easier that way. And Padma knew, easier usually meant surviving. 

Padma nodded sagely, understanding that she would have to leave sooner rather than later now. With a weary eye, the young girl continued to watch her new companion. Trying to figure him out. He had seemed rather brash, and unyielding upon first inspection. Yet now he seemed calmer, less likely to attack. She would be careful, she had been careful. She had ever since running away. She wasn't stupid.

"Oh you know... around." The maroon colored girl shrugged, lifting a paw delicately to emphasis her point. Although the motion looked amateur, and lacked confidence. Still weary of the big cat possibly lurking around, Padma allowed her eyes to wander the surrounding woods. "Like I said, just passing through." Her eyes had wandered back to the stranger, and she quickly dropped her gaze to her paws, anxiety growing. Her tail twitched restlessly, as she subconsciously shifted her wait from one paw to the next. Ready to flee if necessary.
