Dust in a hailstorm

The young male happened to catch the curious glance Ray shot in his direction at the mention of his siblings and Mortar clamped his mouth shut. Despite feeling a bit better about living in Donostrea he still wasn't willing to go into the details about what had happened to his family. Besides what was the point of talking about his siblings with her if he didn't even know where they were? Were they even alive? If so he felt the chances of them ever coming here with him were slim to none. Of course that was just him being more than just a little pessimistic.

"Can I call you tar? Then it's as short as mine. I never use my long name it's so long to say I'm bored before I'm finished"

His face took on a more thoughtful look as he thought about it. Technically Mortar was already his nickname, though he supposed it still was a little long. Tar sounded okay though. His coat was rather dark after all so it fit rather well. Finally he nodded.

"You can call me Tar so long as you tell me your full name." That seemed pretty fair to him, since he was now aware that Ray wasn't actually her name. He'd been under the impression it was, but it made sense why she had a boy's name. What was Ray short for?

She crossed over the scent marker easily and he paused at it briefly to sniff it before following her. He still felt a little out of place crossing into a pack he'd never seen before, but if Ray came here all the time then it had to be okay. She seemed to know exactly where she wanted to go so he trotted after her his head swinging wildly as he tried to look at everything at once. It certainly was pretty here. She instantly headed for the water and invited him in. He didn't need to be told twice so Mortar took off at a sprint and with a grin and jumped into the water intending the make the biggest splash of his life. Maybe he'd get Ray all soaking wet!
