Umbre ate without hesitation, being much too hungry as it were to care about the humiliation of having to depend on him for her meal. And she managed to keep from looking at him too much, keeping her gaze down or only on the spoon as he fed her. She was hoping that, once he was done feeding her that he would let her down. But she saw him walking back towards the rock again. Part of her was worried and the other part wasn't, and she was somewhat relieved to see that when he returned he wasn't holding anything.<br/><br/>Upon hearing Adrian say that he was going to let her down, she became excited, ready to get down and be able to move her aching limbs and maybe lie down to rest. She watches intently and curiously as her Trainer began untying and fiddling with the knots and ropes. It was all so complicated... And when she felt her paws touch the ground, she smiles, wiggling her toes a bit, never thinking she would ever be so excited to touch the ground. But as the rest of her body was released from the ropes, she almost collapses, trying to get her footing and get herself balanced again. She was beginning to wonder how long she had been up there...<br/><br/>Umbre blinked curiously at Adrian, not quite understanding what he first said, about keeping low. But she stands there, trying to stretch before moving to follow after him. As she did, she whimpers and freezes up, feeling the welts stinging fiercely all of a sudden. Her eyes water instantly and she grits her teeth. It hurt to move, but she somehow made her way slowly after her Trainer to join him. When he started speaking to her, she looks at him, trying to stifle her whimpering. She nods slightly, but didn't know what she could do to show that she submitted to him, thinking hard about it as she stood there. At his last comment, she blinks and stares at him. Something about the way he said it caught her attention.
