eyes narrowed. through thick lenses he studied other, expression ever so slightly morphing into confusion. if one could prefer the heat, another could enjoy the cold, couldn’t they? awful.

“ LEAVE IT! ”  footsteps crashed through underbrush, rather loud announcement of swiftly approaching duo. four legged beast in the lead bounded further && further from trail, every so often glancing, mid - stride, over shoulder && back towards confused researcher trailing in dead sprint. mightyena had NEVER taken off from group in such clear path. just what was he after? it had to be some sort of living creature, right? or . . . oh, god.

maxie dug heels into dirt, attempt to stop in his tracks nearly sending him tumbling. he caught himself against nearby tree, eyes wide behind fingerprint - laden lenses. he swallowed hard. he could have sworn thought caused heart to hammer harder in momentary panic, but perhaps that was from extended run through dense forest. fingertips pressed firmly to bark, grounding action that helped man start to calm. of course, as mightyena looped back around && took trainer’s shirt between jaws, tugging him again en route to whatever had captured his interest, brief calm went right out the window.
