Hak@Flamma: The arcanine bowed his head as a greeting. He knew about ninetales often being very proud folks. "Greetings! I just saw you sitting here all on your own. Excuse me the rude question, but how comes you're all alone here? Don't you have your family or partner to stay with you?" He noticed his rude words and quickly tried to explain. "Oh there's nothing wrong with preferring to be alone of course! But I for myself prefer the joyful family life."
“I’m alone here because I am alone. I have no partner, nor have I ever had one. My family… Well that’s a complicated matter and it would be best not to delve into it, at least for now. Suffice to say that they aren’t company I have access to. I don’t think I prefer to be alone, but I don’t have many options available. All my friends I’ve either been separated from or… outlived. It’s probably for the best I am alone.”
“No, It’s for the best.”
“It may be inappropriate coming from a mere arcanine like me..but I remember being in a similar position a not-so-long time ago. Abandoned by the family, seperated from the friends, my loved ones deceased. I told myself that just being on my own would be the best…but I was wrong.”
“You said you don’t prefer being alone…that it’s the only option you have left. But I’d say that it’s not true at all. And if you’re willing to overcome your fear of maybe loosing someone again..I can guarantee that there’s a lot of happiness and new friends waiting for you out there. You could find yourself friends, or even a family.”
“And if you’re afraid..I can come and accompany you. You don’t have to go through this alone. Let me show you that there’s no reason for you to be all on your own. Let me help you to find happiness again.”
She swallows and looks away, hesitant. She tries to think of what to say but her mind is blank. "Thank you." She finally says softly, pressing her head against Hak's side gratefully. She nodded, steeling herself as she made her decision. "I'll go. With you, I mean. I'll go and I'll do my best." She smiled. "Give me a few moments to get a mask."
She walks into her cave and emerges after a few minutes
She looks down, a slight blush just barely visible under her mask. “Shall we then?” She asks, looking up at the Arcanine.
