When he noticed the smell of chicken he approached me little by little, I decided to move away a little and give him his space, I noticed how Cedric relaxed his hand and kept the arrow and the bow, logically when I was close to him what he did was to scold me and it was not for less since she could have killed me, after a strong hug he made me swear that I would never do it again and in those words he let flow a phrase that left me speechless
Cedric: I don't know what I would do if I lost you.
When he reacted to the phrase that escaped his lips he kissed my forehead again and smiled. We didn't realize that the herd had returned and were watching a romantic scene; I decided to leave the field for a while until the Jaguar left but what happened next even I couldn't imagine.
The Jaguar approached me and stared at me so I decided to summon a liter of milk and then a deep dish to fill it with milk and leave it near her, she was no longer uncomfortable to be near me to which Cedric says
Cedric: she may have been impregnated by you.
I laugh a little and tell him: I don't think so, I think it's just a 'thank you'.
He nods in a way that it could be that but he sensed something else, indeed after that she would walk away a little and then look at me, to which Cedric asks me to follow her and not to worry as she will be close to me, I smiled in a thank you way and climb a small mountain and then a small cave where she was alone with 5 cubs, I looked at her from afar as I wanted to give her her space and not let the cubs catch my scent.
When I was thinking to leave she rises and stands in front of me where she rubs her head on my body and with some fear I touched her head and I see that she doesn't reject me, so while I gave her a slight affection I promised her that I would come back often to this place.
I go down with Cedric while he hugs me tightly and says without sorrow: I love your bravery Zafi, but... I want you to let me protect you from now on.
I stare at him and cover my mouth and to amaze me more he says
Cedic: the rings are matching the purpose and I chose the color because of your name.
I didn't know what to say so I hugged him tight and let him give me my first kiss; that would mean talking to my parents and telling them what had happened, he decided that we would use the cell phone until we got to talk to my parents.
