***

Despite all the stories she heard from her pack about humans, Naluaa couldn't help but grew curious toward Ilaat as the days go by. He didn't seems threatening, nor cunning. He didn't forced her to bear him on her back or other weird things she was told about...

On the contrary, Ilaat seemed...gentle.
Tender and understanding.
He kept his distances, feeling her unsecurity toward him, only talking to her when she felt her less nervous.
And still the memories of their delicious blossoming friendship.

She slowly felt more and more confident with him.

And the incident with the mammoths seemed to have melted the ice between them a little. After their camp was set for the night, she decided to try a curious approach as the young man was brushing his hair after washing himself. 

Minutes later, Naluaa was lying on the grass her head on Ilaat's lap, as he was brushing her softly -tenderly- with his own brush. His voice was soothing, his hands too...

Relaxed, that made her slowly falling asleep.
