Miles from Nowhere [1x1]

<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>The shrieking sound of her displeasure caused his ears to twitch. She seemed confused, which in turn confused him because this was not somewhere you just stumbled upon. Briefly, he considered that this was some sort of jungle-induced hallucination, but he had never seen this woman before, and his imagination had never been so creative. Watching the way she pulled at her clothing, Sairus lifted his head. He chuffed quietly, because he was almost certain that this woman was going to die.
<span> </span>Not right at this moment, but eventually. </span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>She was already pacing, and talking to herself. He didn't know if these were signs of heat exhaustion or if she was normally prone to hysteria. He dropped his head back down, swiping an oversized paw over one of his ears. Doing his best to push clinging droplets of humidity off of his fur. </span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;] </span><span style="font-size:10pt;] What did she keep looking at in her hands? He couldn't tell from where he was. Its purpose also remained undetermined, but it commanded a lot of her attention, regardless. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;]This was not at all his problem. He needed to turn around, immediately. Go back to his camp and forget ever seeing this woman (who he still wasn't </span><span style="font-size:13.3333330154419px;]entirely</span><span style="font-size:10pt;] convinced was real) and continue focusing on his very important mission.</span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>The words in his own head seemed to fall on metaphorical deaf ears, because as she started walking again, Sairus pushed himself from the ground. She wasn't moving very fast, which was smart. And made it easier for him to keep relatively quiet as he followed her. Still hidden behind the overgrowth. </span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>At least he didn't have to worry about losing her with the way she didn't seem to stop talking.</span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>The determined nature of her chosen path would have been impressive, had it not been mostly stupid. Currently, she was very determined to walk face first into a scrub of water hemlock. Sairus chuffed again. He should absolutely not let her do that, but if he stopped her he would then be responsible for her. Which was not something he really had the time or the patience for. </span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>If he didn't stop her he'd be a giant fucking asshole. </span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>He quickened his pace, proceeding ahead of her in case she did have some sort of weapon. Not that there was any guarantee she wouldn't attack him even if he gave her a decent amount of space. </span>[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]
[/align]<div style="text-align:justify;]<span style="font-size:10pt;]<span> </span>The giant cat pushed out of the underbrush, stepping directly into her line of sight. Effectively blocking her path. He did his best to appear non-threatening, which was difficult but doable. One would just have to ignore the fact that he was a very large, very dangerous animal. He steadied his yellow gaze in her direction; his posture was alert. Ear swiveled forward in her direction, and he made a low, rumbling sound in his chest that was something like a warning.
<span> </span>Hopefully it sounded like a warning, and not a threat.
<span> </span><span> </span></span>[/align]
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
