Snippet #2519830

John was shocked at the unexpected attack. Tackled out of a tree by a tiger, that was definitely a first. It's claws dug in to his shoulders softly. It could have ripped his head off without a second thought, but it didn't. John's mind raced, he was positive this was the end. "But, a tiger, here?" John thought to himself.

she jumped off and shifted into her human form... Her shoulders were shaking, and it took her awhile to realize she was laughing...

He was speechless. It was the girl, the same one from earlier. He thought for a minute, trying to think of her name. Kyra, he realised at last. And she was laughing. Well, that's a good sign. he hoped.

John hopped up quickly, looked around to see if anyone was there besides the two of them, and smiled at her.

"You're good." He said plainly, taking a seat on a particularly old tree stump, and began to flick his blades.

"Where you from?" he asked, trying to sound polite. He was definitely not trying to make enemies here, and they had definitely started off on the wrong foot. Social interaction was definitely not on his list of strengths, he was nervous. It was the first time he'd spoken to a woman, alone. He wasn't sure what to say, what to talk about, or whether he should say much of anything. He decided to see where the conversation went before he decided on what subjects would be vague enough not to reveal his past.
