She couldn’t help but pause, blinking a few times as her mind reeled back at the sudden flirtation from the male. Oh gosh, she could just feel her insides curling up in secondhand embarrassment. It took only a split-second for her impression of the male to change. The small pup by her feet got down on his belly and covered his eyes with his front paws, you could hear the small whine from him. Obviously, he shared the same sentiments as his owner.
“Now, be nice, sweetheart. You dug up his garden, after all,“ nervously laughing, she was starting to reconsider her opinions on if it was safe to be around the male or not. Dear Lord, she already had enough troubles dealing with her brother’s friends, she didn’t need more of them around. ”Come on, say sorry and we have to go home now. Mom’s worried about you.”
That.. .was a little unusual, wasn’t it? The sudden change in tension, as well as the nervous laughter, did not go unnoticed. Bewildered, Hakuba slid his hands into his pockets and looked between the girl and the dog. Had he said something wrong? He’d been flirting, sure, but he’d thought it was light enough to be funny. Perhaps not.
“Ah, no, it’s all right, he doesn’t need to apologize. I’m just glad that I could help.” Hakuba bit his lip, then glanced over his shoulder, toward home. “Well, ah, it was nice meeting you, miss. I hope you have a lovely evening..”
