Dinner was... Akward.
Fox m- Alex, wasn't eating and I guess I had hurt his feeling or something because he wasn't speaking to me or really anyone.... I felt bad so I didn't eat either. After dinner I tried to talk to him but all he said was "I'm going to bed" and walked off to the tent.
"What's up with him?" Miranda ask as she fluttered over then landed on my shoulder.
"I don't know... I think it's something I said..." I replied, a bit sad too.
"Well have you tried apologizing?" She asked.
"Yes"
"Conversation starters?"
"Yes"
"A hug?"
I thought for a moment, a hug could work. My mother used to give me hugs all the time when I was sad. "No... I guess I could try that..." I shrugged, temporarily forgetting Miranda was on my shoulder until she toppled off, luckily she's a pixie "sorry" I sighed "forgot you where there" I gave her a small smile and she grinned back "don't sweat it" she replied then waved for me to move along so I smiled a little more then walked off to the tent.
When I got thee Alex was sitting by himself in the dark, hugging his tail in silence.
"Alex?" I asked, no response go figure I thought then walked over and gave him a small hug, no responce, "I'm sorry if I hurt your feeling earlier, I-" I was surprised when he cut me off "it's fine" Alex replied "you didn't know" he said calmly staring ahead.
"your not a bad guy, I just-" he cut me off again "don't want to date someone of a different species?" He said, sounding a little hurt now.
"No! Not that, I just haven't known you for that long... I mean I have... But I haven't... I just want to be friends for now..." I told him truthfully, I could feel him nod and I heard him sigh "I understand"
"Maybe in the future it will be different..." And after that it was quiet, after a moment I gently pulled away and went to lay down when he stopped me "hey Raven?" He asked.
"Hm?"
"How long would it take you to get to know me? Just curious..."
I thought a moment "I'm not sure... I guess it depends..." I laid down in my bed with my new blanket "goodnight Alex" I said as I closed my eyes "night" I heard him reply as I drifted off to sleep.
