His animal instincts are left unexposed to being precisely aware of what's going on for now! She still wonders at the hesitation. Unless he's simply reluctant to mention animals in rut, it makes her wonder if there's anything else he's not mentioning. She also finally drops her shield, more to conserve energy than anything else. The smaller rabbitrays around her notice, dipping in closer and brushing against her shoulders, her thigh, before darting off again in playful, lazy loops. ]
Right, so they're all in rut. Sounds like the most intelligent thing is either take advantage of that to pit them against each other or get out of the area. I'll admit I favour the "get out" plan over the first. More blood in the water seems like it'd be a less desirable outcome.
