I look up from my kill hearing rustling in the woods surrounding me.
I lower myself closer to the ground, preparing to fight.
Then, as the creature emerged, I relaxed.
"Crow, what are you doing here? You should be resting."
He looked towards me and I briefly saw panic in his eyes before it melted away.
I frown.
"Is something wrong?" I ask with worry.
Crow comes closer to me. "No, I was just..." He looked away embarrassed. "I was worried when I woke up and you weren't there" he said.
"Oh.." I say, not sure how to reply.
He was worried about me?
A warm feeling came over me and I grinned at Crow.
"Let's get you back to my den. You shouldn't be up so soon after that fight".
We walk side by side back to the den, and I catch the he-wolf glancing at me sideways more than once.
When we arrive, I lie down next Crow. For warmth, I tell myself.
I just met him a few days ago, but I'm completely relaxed around him like we've known each other for much longer.
I contemplate this for a long time, and before I realize it it's nighttime.
Crow is already asleep, his breathing steady, so I slowly ease myself closer to him. I close my eyes and as I drift off, I'm convinced I feel Crow move his head on top of mine. But that can't be, because he's asleep.
