Walk | Talk | Think A compliment! For someone who did not appear very conversational, he was sure making what little conversation they carried enjoyable. The smile that had remained seated upon Gale's lips twitched once and then brightened considerably, her wispy tail adding a wag behind her. "I am, indeed," she responded with confidence, though internally she was grateful she did not need to make the return trip too soon. It had taken quite a bit out of her, fighting against the currents and getting to where she had ended up. It had been worth it - this was possibly the furthest from home she had yet to travel - but it did not make it any easier. For all her smiles, she still could not pull an answering one from the dark colored male. His face remained as stoic and unresponsive as ever even though he spoke politely to her, formal and somewhat stuffy. She was unused to it. No one in her family behaved this way - well, maybe Arcus did a little, he always had something to brood over - but it only made her more curious. Her grey-green eyes blinked and her look slackened as he suggested she exit the shoreline, unsure whether he was trying to get her to leave him or whether he was only trying to be helpful. It was near impossible to tell considering he gave nothing away, though she thought she saw something in his face. Was that a spark about his red eyes? Unless she was seeing things, it might have been the first hint of emotion to cross his face since he approached her. Skepticism and uncertainty caused the lavender-marked wolf's eyes to narrow slightly, recognizing in the back of her mind that her own expressions felt a little more exaggerated likely due to the fact her company was giving her nothing to go off of. He had already turned his back to her, however, and had marched a few steps down the shoreline. Gale pushed herself up to her paws, giving her still damp coat a little shake and staring after the male with a confused sort of pinch to her brow. Did he expect her to follow...? Or--? Even as she stared at him, he stopped and turned his head over his shoulder, his expressionless face staring back into hers. Gale remained still, staring back and trying to figure out what sort of game, exactly, he was playing. It would have been much more fun if she could keep up. Her ears perked as he asked for her name, and taking that as an invitation, regardless of whether it was one or not, she smiled and trotted after him down the beach. "Gale," she answered as she approached and stopped next to him, "Elementas." Her smile was back, her grey-green eyes curious, as she watched him closely. "And you?" |
