oh .. o-okay.  frigid fingers intertwine easily with his own, clinging on for dear life as they meander their way through all sorts of shrubbery.  it’s COMFORTING, even the smallest of contact warms her up.  makes her feel safe,  &&  wanted.  even feels special she’s the only he’s ever shown his bunnies to.

she follows closely behind him, using michael’s lanky build as a shield against the plant life surrounding them, the one’s she couldn’t avoid were prickly against her milky skin.   mn  .. .  y-you got lots of p-pets ?  she’s not sure how else to ask         naively CONFUSED  &&  a little bewildered she’ll just mumly comply, not quite sure what to make of his tales, just glad she gets to see the furry creatures.

pale boy leads her through the untrimmed forest, jumps over branches and pushes past leaves. there is no trail to where he’s taking her, no ways to public access unless you shove your way through the crowds of shrubbery. michael knows it like the back of his hand, could recite the entire area. every brook, every fallen tree, he remembered it all.

PETS. the word for him is unfamiliar, though he makes the assumption she’s using it to describe his bunnies. “ i take all the ones i find and keep ‘em. some still have soft bits, ill let you touch em if you want! “ sounds excited, features lift into a grin. they’re getting close.

r-rabbits ?            i wanna s-see !   lots of them ?  doesn’t think she can even contain herself.  she’s picturing a dozen of the soft  &&  fluffy little creatures with their beady eyes  &&  fuzzy feet.  and ALIVE for that matter.

hand outstretched towards the stuttering girl he grins, offering a non optional hand to hold as unnaturally long fingers lock between her smaller ones. “ well, they lived in the forest. that’s where we gotta go. usually i dont SHOW ANYONE but since you wanna see the rabbits n’i guess ill show you. ” it’s not often he shows anyone the piece of forest he’s claimed as his own - a beautiful spot year round with a small stream that michael liked to poke around at crawdads in. get his feet wet when it was hot. 

guiding her he begins walking, free hand sliding against everything they passed ( TOUCH TOUCH TOUCH ). felt the cool damp moss and the grooves in the trees. let the tips of foxtail tickle his palms. couldnt keep his hands off things that felt nice to touch. “ i got other things too. a WHOLE DEER, but hes not looking too good. i think he’s SICK or somethin’ so i might not show you him. “

@vintered liked for a STARTER!
