The shuffle of motion caught the rabbit's gaze like a trap, all wide-eyed and fearful as the being moved. Of course beings moved, but, they- she?- was... Weird. Leggy.
He didn't know if he trusted it. Birds came on two legs, but they weren't usually so soft. The draping fur over her flowed with her motions, as if they held no weight, and he found himself watching her as she made another motion (sat?) and spoke.
He found that lump in his throat rise again, as it always did when other beings spoke.
She had a name. He didn't- did he need one? Things had names, and he turned his eyes to the side as he thought wordlessly, worried on that fact. He wasn't a thing though. He didn't have a name- he didn't need one, he decided quickly, huffing out with a little shudder.
When he looked back, she was closer, which startled him out of the lull of questions he found himself in. A squeak came out as he pushed back- more questions, and he shuffled his legs back into the new position he'd drawn back into. He could barely parse the first she'd asked out of the babbling that started rising from his mouth. The second made him quiet down and look up to the tree.
He was starting to calm down as he was quiet, only looking back to Vivilene with a soft shake of his head. No, he didn't live there- how could he even get up? His home was far away, and he huffed out, crouching down to settle himself back down to his normal self.
"I'm-" He started at the third query. How would he answer? Was he lost if he wasn't sure if he could even go back the way he came? But, he didn't know where he was, either.
He looked down with another shake of his head."I don't know." Was that even an answer he could give to a yes or no question?
"I thought-" He choked off his words again, glancing back up. "If I... Went this way, I wouldn't be lost." The rabbit was breathing quickly, as if even speaking to something marginally bigger took everything out of him.
Perhaps it had.
This was a lot for a little man.
