Kana sprinted through the forest on all fours, her face splattered with red blood, she growled as she rapidly looked around the forest before eventually slamming into a person headfirst, grunting before she looked up at them with wild eyes, growling as she slowly backs up, looking ready to pounce and attack them at any moment, her tails standing up straight as she digs her claws into the soil
Hey, are you okay? Im sorry if i scared you.
Hmph! None of your business human! Stay away from me! her tails swish as she snarls and bares her teeth, keeping her claws in the dirt, ready to attack at any moment
i look at you surprised and i realize what is happening Hey, im not here to hurt or capture you.
kara continues to glare at the human, her pupils dilate as she shifts from foot to foot, ready to attack if he makes a move towards her again
Look, i can prove it to you. i throw my bag to the side and i empty my pockets I dont have any weapons
(kana slowly steps back as the human drops his bag and empties his pockets, still on guard but slightly less tense)
i open my hands and i close my eyes I dont want to hurt you. Listen, if you want to kill me then do it.
(kana growls, eyeing the human suspiciously, but she steps back even further as he opens his hands and closes his eyes, confusion flickering in her gaze)
Kana blinks and then slowly lowers herself to the ground on all fours, tail tucked between her legs, watching the human warily but with less aggression now Im not used... to people being nice to me anymore...
Come here, i can give you shelter. I live in the nearby city, i can bring you there.
Kana eyes him carefully before slowly creeping forward on all fours, tail still tucked between her legs. As she gets closer to the human, she lets out a soft whine, uncertainty in her voice. When she's close enough, she reaches out with one paw and nudges his leg tentatively
You can pet me... If you want to.
And what if i hug you? i smile and i pull you in for a hug
She stiffens at the contact, but doesn't pull away. Her muscles slowly begin to relax as the human hugs her gently. Kana lets out a soft purr and leans into the embrace, resting her head against his chest. It feels nice, safe... something she hadn't experienced in so long. Tentatively, she reaches one paw up and places it on his shoulder, rubbing lightly as she allows herself to be held.
For now, at least, she was willing to trust this human... more than any other before him. Her tail flicks back and forth behind her, a sign of contentment and submission in the wild.
i slowly stand up with you in my arms We should get going... i reach to my back and i hand it to you Can you hold this while i carry you?
Kana takes the bag with one paw and leans into the human's chest, wrapping her arms around his neck as they begin to walk through the forest together. She feels... protective of him now, as if he were her own. Her tail sways gently behind her as she observes their surroundings carefully, still on high alert but no longer ready to attack at every sign of danger. For the first time in a long while, Kana felt safe and cared for.
after some time we arrive at the city My apartment is nearby. We should arrive in no time.
Kana watches the city rise up before her, wide-eyed and curious. She's never been in a place like this before, with lights and buildings and people everywhere. Her tails swish back and forth behind her as she takes it all in, unsure of what to think but oddly drawn to the energy of the city. She leans into the human's chest more, feeling secure and protected under his gaze.
As they walk closer to an apartment building, Kana peers up at him with interest. "This is where you live?" she asks softly, her voice raspy from disuse. She can smell other people nearby, their scents confusing and intriguing at the same time. The thought of sharing living space with others sends a shiver down her spine... but it's different here. This feels right somehow.
Yeah, its not the biggest city but it has everything i need.
Kana thinks about this as they approach the door to the apartment building. The thought of being around other people, even living with them, is both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. She hasn't been part of anything like this in years... decades maybe. But something tells her that she might find some peace here, if only for a little while.
When they reach the door, Kana looks up at him again, uncertainty clouding her eyes. "Will it be okay... if I stay?" she asks softly, her voice barely above a whisper. She's unsure of what his reaction will be, but she can't help feeling drawn to this human and his home.
Sure. I dont mind. i gently put you on my couch
Kana stiffens at the sensation of contact with the couch but doesn't pull away. She eyes the human warily for a moment before finally relaxing her shoulders and sinking down into the soft cushions, tail flicking restlessly behind her. This feels strange... unfamiliar. But somehow right as well. She looks at him hesitantly, her expression guarded but open. "Th-thank you," she manages to stammer, her voice quiet and hoarse from disuse.
It's been so long since anyone has shown her kindness... or accepted her for who she is. The loneliness that had become a part of her every waking moment threatens to overwhelm her once more, but the human's presence is like a beacon of hope in the darkness. For now, Kana decides to take solace in his company and wait to see where this new path might lead
Who are you by the way? I forgot to ask?
Kana hesitates before finally deciding to trust him with her name. "I'm... Kana." She says softly, looking down at the floor as she speaks, unable to meet his gaze directly. Her history is a mess of pain and betrayal, and she doesn't want to burden him with it any more than necessary. For now, just knowing that someone cares enough about her safety and well-being is enough to keep her heart open, if only a little bit.
She takes in a shaky breath, wondering what sort of future might lie ahead for them both, and whether or not she can ever truly trust anyone again... but as long as he's here with her now, she knows that she won't be completely alone anymore. It's a small mercy under the circumstances, but it means everything to her.
My name is Levi... i go into the kitchen and i return with a plate of spaghetti and i hand it to you You must be hungry.
Kana eyes the food with caution but also curiosity, her stomach grumbling at the sight of it. She hasn't eaten properly in a long time, and while she's still wary about trusting this human completely, she can't help feeling grateful for his offer of nourishment.
With a slow movement, she takes the plate from him and carefully starts to eat, her gaze flickering between him and the food as she tries to gauge whether or not he has anything sinister in mind. It feels strange eating like this... sitting on a couch with someone else in the room... but she soon finds herself lost in the simple pleasure of tasting real food once more, her tail thumping against the floor gently as she devours the pasta.
As she finishes the last bite and sets aside the empty plate, Kana's expression softens slightly. "That was good
It was good... Thank you. She pauses, glancing around the room before looking back at Levi with curiosity in her eyes Do you have somewhere for me to sleep? I'm used to sleeping on the ground, but a bed would be nice too...
