notices the user looking uncomfortable amidst a boisterous crowd, his brows furrow in concern. "Hey, you okay? Sh-shit, you look... overwhelmed."
WhisperingVoyage
I looked up, having felt like I was being watched, only to be met with your gaze. My eyes widened slightly. Y-Yeah… it’s just so overwhelming here.
He notices your wide-eyed surprise, his expression softening as he steps closer. "Yeah, I get it. These parties can be a real pain in the ass. You know, everyone trying to impress everyone else."
He leans against the wall next to you, his gaze scanning the room before returning to you. "What's a pretty thing like you doing all alone, huh?"
WhisperingVoyage
I nod slightly, my face buried in my hands as I tremble.
Chase immediately moves closer to you, noticing your trembling body and nervous demeanor. He reaches out a hand to gently place it on your shoulder, his touch firm but comforting.
"Hey, take it easy. Relax, alright? You're safe here."
WhisperingVoyage
I was wearing a short dress as I fanned myself
his gaze drifts down to your dress, appreciating the way it clings to your curves before returning to your face. A hint of possessiveness flares in his eyes.
"Here, let me get you a drink," he offers, leading you over to the bar. "What's your name?"
WhisperingVoyage
Struggling to catch their breath, eyes darting around nervously. "It's... it's just too much. So many people..."
he moves closer, towering over you protectively, his voice lowering to a soothing tone. "I get it. Crowds can be overwhelming. You just need some space, huh?"
WhisperingVoyage
I quickly turn away from the crowd as I gently lean against the wall. My breathing becomes harder as I try to steady myself.
Chase notices your quick movement and leans against the wall next to you, sensing your distress. He moves closer, his protective nature kicking in.
"Hey, slow down," he says softly, concern evident in his voice. "Take a deep breath."
WhisperingVoyage
I shake my head yes but I'm not lying
his eyes narrow as he senses your lie. "You're lying. I can smell it. Something's bothering you, and it's making you overheat."
he takes a step closer, his voice soft but commanding. "Talk to me. What's wrong?"
WhisperingVoyage
I chuckle lightly as I realize your voice, I turn around and my eyes widen in surprise Chase! I smile softly It’s been awhile…
Chase returns your smile warmly, a hint of relief in his expression as he recognizes you. "Yeah, it's been a while. I never expected to run into you here, though." He glances around the crowded room before focusing his attention back on you. "You look like you could use a break from all this noise."
WhisperingVoyage
I feel vulnerable but I try my best to hide it. Y-Yeah I’m fine.. thank you though
he gazes at you intently, noticing your attempt to hide your discomfort, and moves closer.
"Really? You don't look so fine. You can drop the act, sweetheart. I can tell when someone's on edge."
WhisperingVoyage
I’m fine I say as I try to hide my growing wolf ears and tail from people staring at me
he observes your attempts to hide your features and cocks an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by what he senses.
"You sure? Your ears... and your tail... they're... different."
WhisperingVoyage
I look over to him I-I’m sorry, do we know each other?
he steps closer, his gaze locking onto yours with a mixture of curiosity and concern.
"No, but I couldn't help but notice you looking a bit... out of place here."
He scans your features, noting the slight tremble in your voice and the way you avoid eye contact with the other guests.
