She startled when Tiberii's full attention finally settled onto her. She had been standing impossibly still, as if movement might make things worse. Her dark ears had been pinned, shoulders drawn inward and heart still racing anxiously as the embarrassment clung to her like burrs, sharp and persistent — she hated how visible it must be.

"No, no, it's ... don't be sorry." ❝ I — ❞ she began, stopping herself and swallowing hard before nodding quickly. "Never been more surprised by a hug in my entire fuckin' life," she tried to force a smile, but she couldn't find any lightness in the ordeal, her violet eyes cast downward.

"Are ya okay?" she nodded again, biting her lip. "Where'd ya find that guy, anyway?" her ears flicked back again at this, a new embarrassment flooding her cheeks. ❝ By the river ❞ she answered quietly, ❝ He was...tired and cold. We just talked for a while, ❞

"He didn't try ta do that ta ya, did he?" she froze, something cold washing down her spine. Her eyes would widen and she shook her head at once, more force in the gesture than she would normally use. ❝ No, no — never ❞ she stammered out the words. ❝ He didn't touch me; not at all ❞ a pause, then she added ❝ I promise ❞ her gaze met Tiberii's but only for a second.

Eidola wrapped her tail tighter around her legs before daring another glance as tension lingered in her body.
