To say that Saya was more than a little reluctant to scamper off to parts unknown with the large wolf-like creature was beyond an understatement. But it seemed that the creature had made the decision for her.

And when a choice about you is made by a creature almost four times you're size, six times your body weight- and with claws and fangs made for rending and tearing soft little bodies just like your own to pieces- you pretty much no longer have a say in anything.

Besides, she wasn't overly sure about this particular creatures behavioral patterns, and as such had to make educated guesses about what might happen if she bothered to try and run.

By nature she wasn't a terribly fast runner.

But she was small. And clever, and for the moment since her pregnancy hadn't progressed more than a few weeks along, maybe a month. So if she really had to try running, she'd have to try and make it to the woods. Someplace where a big and bulky creature like this one would have trouble following.

Unless...he knew the terrain better than she did. Which was entirely possible since he didn't seem overly curious or wary of anything in the area around him.

So that probably meant that he also knew the natural predators of the area too and due to his current relaxed manner it appeared that he was probably at the top of the food chain around here.

Not good.

Not being able to outrun him was one thing. But with him being the top predator in the area- that was doubly bad for so many reasons. Which pretty much spelled out to her- escape is futile.

The wolf-like creature stood up with an almost lazy catlike grace and pegged her with those gold eyes of his before saying, "Running would be a bad idea." Confirming her thoughts as she tried to push back the panic threatening to overtake her mind.

"Running would only make me chase you down. Animal instinct and all that. And well, if that happens I can guarantee that it won't be fun for you. I have fangs and claws for a reason. So tip number one of surviving the Digital world, little human- if a digimon like me decides to act as you're mate- it would be wrong to turn it down. And tip number two- running can get you killed if you aren't careful, so just don't."

Dorulumon didn't want to alarm the human female, but she wouldn't be able to conceive of how quickly he'd be able to track her if she did run. Nor would she even see him coming...until he had his fangs and claws in her.

Tearing her apart.

Unless he told her to run, then she should stay right next to him where it was safest. Besides, the longer she was with him, the longer he would have time to adjust to certain instincts kicking in. It wasn't everyday he found a pregnant female in the digital world and decided to act as her mate, after all.

"I don't really have a choice in this do I?" Saya asked in almost a pleading tone. The wolf-like creature let out a sound a little too dark to be amusement as he moved to stand at her back and carefully too the sleeve of her shirt between his large teeth and tugged on it a little bit.

"No. I'm afraid not." He replied as she slowly got to her feet, with his persistent light tugging on her sleeve. And once on her feet, he gave her a nudge or two towards the outskirts of the village. Indicating which way they should take. And though she was hesitant to follow him anywhere, he wasn't exactly giving her a choice.

So with a wary look back at the village, he paused in his movement's so that she wouldn't fall behind, and waited for her to fall into line.

They had a lot of ground to cover before they settled in for the night.

Turning back away from the village with a sigh, Saya started walking until she walked past the giant wolf-like creature. Never noticing the amused upward curve of his lips.
