Opal couldn't help but stiffen up slightly out of nervousness when the wolf gave her a friendly touch. Little things like that, regardless of the intent behind them, still made her uncomfortable, and it frustrated her to no ends. She knew it was a friendly gesture, so she hid her reaction to the best of her abilities; She didn't want to make Shadow feel bad for doing something that, in the end, Opal still appreciated.

At Shadow's offer, Opal nodded but was a bit troubled. She couldn't help but wonder if getting help on the extra hunt would defeat the purpose of it, but if Shadow wanted to help, Opal wasn't going to try to stop her. The help would be greatly appreciated. She turned and silently followed Shadow back to the den with her head a little low, keeping up but straying behind enough to let Shadow stay in the lead.
