Despite only having one hand upon her hip Laly felt utterly engulfed in black bristle like fur, The panther thing was coddling her, with the intention of protecting her petite (in comparison) squirrelly self from the apparent monsters down yonder field. Squinting she attempted to make out a recognizable shape in the silhouettes approaching from the shaded glen of the forest beyond the field in which they stood. From what she could make out they most certainly -could- be monsters but it seemed her trained nose and keen eyesight paled in comparison to that which Crest possessed.<br/><br/>"Are you cert-" Laly started cut off by an ominous bellow originating from the approaching shapes. Each of the figures broke into what run, charging the pair. Laly squeaked loudly and backed her body into Crest's firm body as if seeking protection. She was no coward but when in the presence of a lovable cougar-man happy to provide ceaseless protection, why not indulge him?<br/><br/>"Yes Crest you smash!" Laly shouted encouragingly, "and Laly will watch and perhaps shout a few words of encouragement hmm?" she continued prodding the beast of a panther forward. Addming a few words of encouragement, "Don't worry I believe in you!" she smiled up at him giving Crest her best sweet helpless girl look, eyes big, hands clasped together beneath her chin.
