❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜ [ from tails! ]
The little road trip was supposed to be a relaxing thing. A bit of mindless driving, stopping to see the sights every once and awhile, maybe visit a couple of friends across the country. Ryder felt like he needed it after the year that he had. A bit of a send off to his early twenties, too, and being thrust into what many considered true adulthood.
It had not been his plan to get stuck in some tiny town in Montana. Was it the worst thing to happen? No. All he needed was to find someone to fix his car and somewhere to eat and he'd be on his way. Maybe explore a little bit and enjoy the scenery. He did not need... Whatever situation he had found himself in.
Hands were raised in an almost placating gesture, an almost startled expression painted across his face. "Not afraid of me?" Ryder was trying to make sense of what he was seeing in front of him. A furry little... Raccoon thing? That was the only thing that he could come up with. And he might not have been the best student in school, sure, but he knew that animals weren't supposed to talk. "I'm kind of freaking out here right now."
