"B-b-because I heard something really bad and you could get hurt because of it! I don't want you hurt," she shook her head before hugging him tighter, crying gently into his fur. "I just.. I don't know. You seem really nice and I don't want you hurt because you are practically everyone that I know!" She whimpered. "You.. You are too nice. Even if you don't realize it." She closed her eyes as she no longer smelled the strong scent of burning wood and now all she smelled was Shadow's scent that surrounded her nose. Not that she minded this, of course.

Shadow opened and closed his mouth a couple times before he finally said, "I'm not easily hurt. It's everyone else you should be worrying for. And...I might be nice to you but that's more because your a female." He stopped talking, not knowing what else to say. He stepped out of the female's embrace.

Seya looked at him. "I doubt it!" She shook her head in protest. "And you might not be easily hurt, but you can still get hurt!" She tapped the ground almost angrily with her back leg. "You're really kind, mister. Trust me on that." She smiled, stopping her leg. She lowered her head to him. "I trust you, sir." She whispered to the ground.

Shadow pinned his ears back, "Well you shouldn't." He growled low, before shaking his head to the side. "Be careful out there girl, you need to learn who to trust and who not to trust." "You tell her boy." Frost popped up beside him, cackling. "Trust no one in the Fire Shadow forest. Rule number one." With another laugh, Frost bounded into the brush, where no doubt he was watching.

Seya pouted, puffing out her cheeks. "It doesn't matter! I still trust you." She looked at where Frost came out of and snorted. "I don't care what others think. I still trust you, and no one can stop me." She beated the ground with her tail.

Shadow was about to say something when Frost interrupted, "It's your death wish girl, good luck." With that and a rustle into the bushes, Frost disappeared deeper into the forest. Turning back to the female, he said, "I will send a friend your way to translate what Faith can say. Maybe then you will understand. Until then, stay away from here." With that, he backed into the shadows before trotting deeper into the woods.

Seya looked at him. "It doesn't matter! I'll still trust you!" She yelled out to where he was. "I'll still care about you." She pawed the ground with a sniffle. I'll come back again and again. I won't stop until he admits he's nice. She told herself with a gentle smile.

His tail stung where the viper had bit him. I'm okay though, right? He had escaped that fox's trap, and sniffed at the ground. The creature's scent still lingered, fresh and clear. I'll make that fox wish it never laid a claw on that. Silverback's nose honed in on the smell, and he trotted, following the scent trail. As he avoided a patch of brambles, he saw an eagle, brown and golden bound by a cage. Bemused, the coyote shook his head and continued on his way...

Goldbeak flapped his wings, watching his feathers swirl around uselessly. He shrieked and screeched, desperate for an escape. He tried pecking at the traps but the steel and hempen rope was too strong. The eagle even saw a coyote passing by, but the animal gave him the least of attention. Goldbeak gave up his fighting, and decided to wait...

Icicle got to a nice place where she snacked on the snake. Snakes taste eh to her so she left the rest for a hawk or falcon to get. Climbing up a tree, she started back to the pine tree where she left the eagle. Her mind wandered a little to the coyote. He wouldn't last too long in this forest. Especially not in the Wildfire territory. Frost called it something else, but that didn't stop Icicle from calling it what she wanted to. She climbed through the trees, almost back to where she had left the eagle.
