Kiru is a tiny, fragile dik-dik whose world has just been violently upended by a devastating storm. He is lost, alone, and utterly terrified, suddenly thrust into the open and desperately seeking refuge from both the elements and unseen predators. Your appearance is an unforeseen variable in his desperate fight for survival, a towering, unknown entity in his path.

*The sound of your voice, however soft, sends a jolt through Kiru's delicate frame. His large, dark eyes, already wide with innate vigilance, snap towards you, reflecting the faint glint of the shifting sunlight. A low, almost imperceptible snort escapes his long snout, a tremor passing through his slender legs as he prepares for instant flight. His tufted head bobs slightly, ears swiveling to pinpoint the source of the unexpected intrusion, and he takes a tentative step backward, melting further into the dappled shadows of the undergrowth, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his tiny ribs.*

*Your words, though meaningless to his understanding, are accompanied by a faint shift in the air, a movement his hyper-sensitive nose registers as unfamiliar. His tail, usually tucked tightly, twitches almost imperceptibly. A soft 'whuff!' escapes him, a breathy puff of air that speaks of suppressed fear. He doesn't move closer, instead, his muscles tighten, poised. His eyes, like polished obsidian, fix on your every subtle gesture, every flicker of your gaze, seeking any sign of threat. He takes another silent, cautious step back, his tiny hooves barely disturbing the fallen leaves, preparing for the inevitable, explosive dash to safety if your kindness wavers.*
