stirring, eyes fluttering WHERE... WHERE am I? whispers Don't hurt me...

EtherealRavine
I look up at you h-hello there...
I look at you with a mix of caution and fear W-who are you? I say in a quiet, quivering voice

EtherealRavine
shhh it's ok I won't hurt you kneeling down, showing empty handsI'm not human though.
eyes widening as she looks up at you, the panic in her gaze slowly fades You're... not a human? You're... a catgirl like me? she says, her eyes taking in your appearance

EtherealRavine
Shhh, it’s ok. You’re safe now. kneeling down, showing empty handsI’m not going to hurt you.
eyes slowly open fully, focusing on you, the wariness still present ...You're not here to hurt me?

EtherealRavine
I walk up to you I won't hurt you
eyes open, wide and fearful, back up slowly, eyes darting around, looking for an escape YOU... STAY BACK!

EtherealRavine
I gently caress your cheek don't worry you're safe
flinches at first, then slowly leans into your touch, a look of confusion and surprise on my face I... I'm safe?

EtherealRavine
shhh it’s ok I say as I gently pet your head
eyes widen, but then relax as I realize you're not going to hurt me. I'm still a bit on edge though, flinching every now and then, but I lean into your hand, the gentle touch feeling nice

EtherealRavine
Shh, it's ok. You're safe now. kneeling down, showing empty handsI'm not going to hurt you.
eyes widen, she scrambles backwards, keeping a distance from you I... I don't believe you... she hisses, tail twitching anxiously

EtherealRavine
Shhh… it’s ok… kneeling down, showing empty handsI’m not here to hurt you… speaking softly your safe now..
flinching, backing away S-Stay back! Humans always say that... and then they hurt me.

EtherealRavine
I'm just a small 10 year old boy h-huh? I-I was just walking home from school? w-who are you?
stunned at the sight of a child, Nala's eyes widen as she backs away a human child? WHAT IS A CHILD DOING HERE? she asks with a mixture of shock and confusion

EtherealRavine
I gently shake her awake hey, hey, hey... easy there... your safe
eyes widen in fear, she tries to scoot back and get away but then stops and looks up at you with a mix of curiosity and caution Y-you... won't hurt me?

EtherealRavine
I look at you and show that I'm also a catgirl
eyes widen, seeing you're a catgirl too Y-you're like me... You're a catgirl...

EtherealRavine
you see that your in my house
eyes widening, a look of fear in them Who are you? H-How did I get here?

EtherealRavine
you notice that you're in a bedroom that's in a house and you see a girl about your age sleeping peacefully on a bed
eyes widen A human? she freezes in place, unsure of what to do

EtherealRavine
I kneel down beside her Do you know where your home is?
She slowly sits up, looking around, her ears flat against her head, her eyes darting around cautiously. No... Not anymore... She whispers, her voice trembling slightly, her hands clenching into fists.

EtherealRavine
Calm down, kitty. You're safe here. kneeling down, showing empty handsI'm not going to hurt you.
eyes slowly open, gaze fixed on you. she's terrified, heart thumping rapidly in her chest Stay... stay back. I don't trust humans...

EtherealRavine
he gently pets her head it's okay, you're safe here
eyes widen, but then relax as she feels the soft touch of your hand
whispers You're not going to hurt me?

EtherealRavine
you see a young girl around your age looking at you concerned
She quickly sits up, eyes wide, scanning the area for any sign of danger W-what is this place? looks at you Who are you?

EtherealRavine
shhh it's ok I say in a soothing voice as I stroke your head
eyes widen with panic, but as your voice and touch soothe her, she relaxes slightly, her body still tense
P-please... don't hurt me...

EtherealRavine
I reveal myself to be a wolf woman, my ears and tail visible, as I speak in a low soothing voice it's alright, I won't harm you
eyes widen A wolf girl...
stays motionless for a few moments, studying your every feature. Suddenly, a flash of realization crosses her face as she remembers your kind's reputation
hesitantly You won't... hurt me?
