[While he had been hoping for a more lively response than she’s given him so far, this isn’t quite what he had in mind. He’s heartened by the first sign of her stirring, just begins to lean back a bit to give her some space when the movement from the equine half of her body registers at the edge of his vision—]
Shit— [He tries to readjust his movement to pull himself farther back and away, turning and curling instinctively to brace for the swift, incoming swing of hooves. And it’s lucky he does—a moment slower and she would have managed to squarely slam into him. As it is, one hoof just barely clips him on the upper arm. Vander curses under his breath, scrambling farther back out of reach as he rubs at his stinging arm.
Damn, that had been a close call. He should have known better to approach like that, considering how clearly out of it she had been as he neared. He catches that fierce look in her single visible eye and raises a hand in a placating gesture.]
Alright, alright. Sorry, didn’t mean to spook you.
no worries!
