*Ling's heart was pounding. She did not want to say the wrong thing; the macen had already embarrassed Machi enough.*

"Careful now."

*Ling keeps Machi at her side, making sure the wolf doesn't trip, wrapping her hand around her side. That last part wasn't necessary, but Ling just... Wanted to. She's not sure exactly why.*

*The Okamimi would nod as she heard Ling's words. She smiled, as her tail wagged a little, as she felt Ling's hand wrap around her side. She blushed a little, but didn't really complain. She just assumed her traveling companion was ensuring she was being safe with her.*

"Yeah, I'll be careful." *She said, nodding.* "Um... Obviously, be careful too, Ling." *She added, her cheeks growing a little more red.*

*She let off a few little yips, of approval as it is. Her smile growing.*

"Yeah, I will. Just hope the wind isn't too bad."

*Ling can feel the heat rushing to her face. To hide her blush, the woman stands tall, bringing red silk over her face in a mask.*

"It's for the dust."

*In reality, Ling's cheeks are beet red. Machi was so cute... But she couldn't show her feelings. Didn't want to, anyways. Besides, they were just two girls traveling the mountains.*

*...Right?*

*It's a shame she can't see Machi's blush if she puts on a mask as well, but she knows that the wolf is red.*
