Fox had spoken the words in a manner just different enough where she’s able to pick up on the change in the air, the spark of a fuse. a change so minute and seemingly insignificant. she stills, doe eyed gaze simply staring up to Fox’s gaze — his eyes, 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬? they are not warm or inviting, not in the traditional sense she’s heard others refer to her own. his expression always remains still, but she is never intimidated. what does the little creature feel, when engaging with Fox? her wings twitch, buzzing with several thoughts — none of which she could verbally articulate, but it was alright because 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨. especially with Fox, for he understands. she tilts her head just ever so, blinking once… twice.
the chill from before dissipates in seconds, there is no reason to be afraid. Ode is sure of it. he keeps her safe and hidden, a little treasured secret. for that, she is grateful. ❛❛ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞? 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞… 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬? ❜❜
she throws the words back at him, as best she can. the answer, in her opinion, is as clear as day but she asks again, fluttering up just a bit closer — no more than comfortable, and points her minute finger to her eyes, emphasizing the fact that there is no fear… 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧. ❛❛ Look into my eyes. Look into my eyes. ❜❜ were she a bigger creature, or at the very least human sized, she would be more daring. but alas, this is more than enough.
she cherishes Fox and Ode can only hope he feels the same.
