Leopard

After calling Blanca out to help me, something she hesitantly did since she was about to go to sleep, we walked through the forest in the direction of the feeling I had sensed barely half an hour ago. 

As we walked, I could not help but glance at the groggy snake in a human form beside me. While I hated to admit it, Blanca's scent was heavenly even without having any cologne in this world. In fact, I hadn't seen her use any type of perfume or plant to make her smell better, leading me to one conclusion.

'This is her natural odor…' I silently mused with a slight smile on my face that I quickly masked with another thought that scrunched my face up significantly.

'This must be her ploy!' I inwardly roared, but even after my facial expressions changed every few seconds, I did not see Blanca's expression change one, nor did I see her eyes glance at me.
