Don't Stare Too Long (ReD)

Adelene was attempting to call for the lamb to come closer the whole time. Somehow though, it wasn't really working. She could only be thankful that it wasn't running away yet. And that it stayed in its spot even as Adelene tried to step closer a little, very slowly of course.

She was so focused on trying to keep the lamb still that she didn't realize Lochlann was already behind her. Being startled resulted to a few more things, namely her heart almost breaking out of its cage, her body instantly jolting, and a soft whimper-like sound coming out of her lips as she turned around slightly.

Her face was deep red when she faced him. Her arm felt like it was brushed by really soft feather, and Lochlann's closeness tickled her ear and neck. She also stepped away from him, embarrassed. Who knew she was sensitive there?? She surely didn't, until now at least.

"Th-Thanks," she was obviously flustered, even though she tried to act like it was nothing by casually grabbing the large backpack and rummaging inside it for food. She glanced at the lamb a couple of times, before finally finding some cream-filled bread and then tossing the bag to the side so she could open it.

"Here, fluffy, I have food," she went on to extend the bread towards the tiny sheep. Her face was still red, but by this time she was sure she would already manage looking Lochlann in the eye.

...Not when she doesn't have to though. Whimpering was embarrassing to the point of meltdown.

Adelene was able to lighten up again once she felt like she won over the cute sheep. That wasn't really correct, but she still felt like that, and was very happy that the fluff ball was eating the bread she was holding.

She turned to Lochlann at hearing her name. She wasn't sure what he was up to, and she was suspicious about it. But what were they going to do with a belt? What was Lochlann going to do with it and the sheep?

"You're not going to hurt it, are you?". The question unintentionally slipped out of her lips. She abruptly turned her head away, and regarded the lamb, before looking down at her waist. She could remove it with one hand, she thought. So she tried what Lochlann asked her to do, although it was taking a bit longer since she had to keep her other hand busy feeding dear fluff ball.

She was able to undo it and pull it out of jeans eventually. "Okay, what are you planning to do with this..?" she asked gently, eyeing the belt.

Why in the world were they going to catch a sheep?? Adelene furrowed her brows at being confused, and really, she just wanted to know why Lochlann wanted this. They weren't going to eat it, were they??

She snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Lochlann touch her jaw and tilt her head up. Her eyes slightly widened, but she did not seem like she hated it; no signs of wanting to kick Lochlann at least. Her eyes were steady on Lochlann's then, realizing it was a demonstration of what he planned to do to the lamb. And then when he brought his hand down, she slowly turned to the fluff ball, regarding it carefully as she pondered if she wanted it captured or not.

But seriously, why were they capturing it??

"Why do you want to get it?" was what she said first the moment Lochlann finished his explanation. Her brows were slightly wrinkled upwards in a worried way. Even though she wasn't exactly complaining about anything, nor did she sound against it. "I mean sure, let's try but..."

Her voice trailed off into silence as she copied Lochlann's demonstration on the sheep. She was slow and gentle, and didn't stop feeding it until it's done with the bread. By then, Adelene moved her other hand to pet it on its head.

Adelene wasn't sure how stuff happened. One moment, she was trying to keep the sheep steady, and then for another, she was already on her back, against the ground, feeling something really heavy on her.

She was small and light, that's why it was pretty easy for her to be pushed down to the ground when unguarded.

Only a moment passed before she realized that Lochlann was right on top of her... Right on top of her chest. Panicked, she screamed a loud "Oh shit!" and instinctively kicked and punched Leon away, before rolling to the opposite side and standing up. She didn't even know where she hit him, but those were pretty strong, and she was sure it was going to hurt. She couldn't help it though, Lochlann had already made her really uncomfortable by invading her personal space, she just snapped unintentionally.

She winced looking at his form on the ground, and tried to step closer. Despite that, she actually still felt worried and guilty. "Um... Loch..?"

Adelene has left the sheep ignored for now. She felt... She felt violated, but she understood it was an accident, and seeing how much in pain Lochlann was, she couldn't help but feel like she just committed a very bad act.

"Lochlann... Sorry!" she went back to his side and kneeled down. It wasn't like her to leave someone on the ground, especially someone in pain; she'd stay with them at least, and she'd stay with Lochlann there until he feels better. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you that strong. Uhm... D-Do you need anything..? This is my fault so I should... I should help you get better."

Hesitant, but she moved her hand to his upper back near his shoulder and rubbed him in attempt to sooth his pain. She obviously did not know how to do it, or if it would even work. She just... She just did what she could.
