Love Challenge: Aurora Smith

Aurora Smith is a red and white hedgewolf who has issues with anxiety. When scared she will have what she calls panic attacks, when her heart rate quickens to the point that it can be fatal. This is why she usually keeps to herself, not trusting anyone and making sure to stay out of everyone's way. Can anyone win her trust and make her feel like she isn't alone?

Adrian had just arrived in the city from his stroll in the neighboring forest, deciding that he was going to do some sight-seeing for a moment. The white hedgehog had wiped the bit of sweat from his forehead caused by the shining sun beaming down on the earth as he was trying to decide where to stop for a bit rest and relaxation. He had wandered off into the city for a bit until he could figure out his decision.

Aurora was ending her shift at the auto-shop, trying to rinse off the smudges of grease and oil on her hands and face. She sighed in frustration, leaving it as it was and slipped on her tan coat. Leaving the shop, she kept her head down as she made her way to the central part of the city.

Adrian had continued with his sight seeing as he was heading towards the central section of the city. He didn't know much about the city, with him being from the mountains and all, So sightseeing would be the best thing for him to do right now.

She shoved her hands into her pockets, glancing around occasionally so to make sure that she didn't get lost. She went to a nearby cafe, getting her a bite to eat before heading back out. She sat down at a table, mindlessly sipping on her drink.

Adrian had journeyed more into the city until he had stopped in front of what looked to be a cafe. He had decided to grab a quick bite to go. He had went inside to grab some food.

Aurora ears flicked as the door was opened. She seemed to snap out of trance as she shifted in her seat and stared at the table. Sighing, she took out her medicine and took what she needed, washing it down with her drink. Immediately it made her drowsy, but she stayed awake knowing that if she feel asleep she would get kicked.

After waiting a while, he had finally received his food.While finally relieved that he is now able to take a bite of his food and cure him of hunger, he then began to make his way to the door to walk outside of the cafe.

She decided to leave, as she was getting dirty looks from the workers meaning that she was to leave. Aurora stood up and made her way to the door, not notcing the other mobian and collided with him

As Adrian was about walk out of the doorway and enjoying his food., He had soon enough found himself colliding with Aurora about a couple seconds later. "Oh my. I'm so sorry." He said to her.

She shook her head, blinking a couple of times. "I-It's fine, I w-wasn't looking where I w-was going sir.." She stood back up, looking at her feet

"It's not you fault. I wasn't paying attention as well." He said to her.

She nodded, still looking at the floor. She glanced up at him, her blue eyes having a bit of childishness in them

"Are you okay?" He asked her as he glanced at her with a bit of concern.

She nodded, looking away. "Y-yeah, I'm fine..." She stays silent, not wanting to talk out fully.

Adrian blinked twice before he had nodded towards her. "Well that's good to hear then. Well I hope your day goes well and a I will let you you enjoy your alone time. If that's what you want that is." He said with a small smile.

She looked up at Adrian, a bit nervous. "U-um, I was actually h-hoping to find someone who I-I could accompany.... I-I'm not much of a s-social person...."

Adrian had looked towards her. "Accompany? Well I was about to go take a walk around the city. Would you like to join me?" He asked Aurora.

Aurora nodded some, cracking a small smile.

Adrian had smiled. "Alright then let's be on our way then. My name is Adrian by the way. It's nice to meet you." He said as he extended his hand out to her.

She nodded, taking his hand and shaking it. "I'm A-Aurora Smith. I-It's nice to meet you A-Adrian."

"Let us be on our way then shall we?" Adrian said to her as he had then began walking.

She nodded in response, following him out the door and walking along side him. "I d-didn't get to ask, h-how are you?" She said, making small talk

Adrian looked towards her with a smile. "Me? I'm doing alright. I'm slowly getting familiar with this city. How are you?"

"That's g-good, I can't tell y-you how many times I h-have gotten l-lost here." She says a bit embarrsed. "I-I'm OK, which is s-sort of a first for m-me."
