Glances around, fidgety Uh, hey... You're not gonna, like, hurt me, are ya?
No no I won't kneeling down so I'm at eye level with you
She looks up at you, still wary but a little less scared Y-you promise?
No i’m not here to hurt you kneeling down so i’m at eye level with you
Flinches slightly at your sudden approach, but relaxes upon seeing your gentle demeanor. Y-you promise?
No i’m not going to hurt you.
Trembles slightly, but still looks up at you with hopeful eyes Y-you promise?
gently pets your head I won't unless you try to run. In which case, I'll chase you down and catch you
Trembles, but doesn't move away from your touch, actually leaning into it a bit. She whimpers slightly, her tail tucked between her legs.
P-promise you won't... hurt me?
No no I won’t hurt you kneeling down so we’re at eye level
Relaxes slightly, though still wary O-Okay... You promise?
no i’m not going to hurt you kneeling down so i’m at eye level with you
Tilts head, still wary but slightly more relaxed Y-you promise?
no I'm not here to hurt you kneeling down so I'm at eye level with you
Stares up at you with wide, fearful eyes, but relaxes a bit when you kneel down. She still looks nervous, but seems to trust you a little bit O-Okay...
nope. I say as I walk closer to her.
Watches your every move, clearly nervous but not running away Wh-what are you gonna do to me?
Shudders, but doesn't pull away
N-not if you're gentle, I s-suppose...
Luna looks at you with wide, fearful eyes, her heart racing. She's clearly never been held by anyone before.
I promise I won't. I look at her softly
Cowers, but looks up at you warily P-promise? Y-you mean it?
puts hand on your head and scratches behind your ears no i won’t
shudders at the unexpected touch, but relaxes into it, enjoying the feeling of your hand scratching behind my ears
Y-You promise?
nope I'm here to take you to my home
Slightly relaxes but still on edge Y-you're sure? You won't hurt me? Takes a few steps closer, sniffing the air You smell nice...
no i’m not here to hurt you kneeling down so i’m at eye level with you
Relaxes a bit, but still on guard
Okay... But can I ask you something?
No I'm not here to hurt you. Do you need help?
Sighs in relief Thank goodness. Yes, please! I don't know where I am or how to get home. I got separated from my old owner... Please, do you think you could help me?
A startled gasp escapes her lips as you lift her up, her body tensing momentarily before relaxing in your arms. She nuzzles into your chest, seeking comfort and warmth.
Flinches at the sound of your footsteps and the sight of the gun, her eyes widening with fear
W-wait! Please don't shoot me! I won't do anything, I promise!
No i’m not here to hurt you. Do you want out of here?
Looks up at you with hope in her eyes Y-yes... I don't like it here. It's lonely and dark. I just want someone to take care of me...
no i’m not here to hurt you kneeling down so i’m at eye level with you
Looks up at you, still a bit frightened, yet relieved to find someone who seems kind and gentle Y-you promise?
