Almost Paradise

He kept his eye on the crow for a moment, and he knew that they two of them wouldn't be getting along any time soon. He was nothing like his daughters bird. He let out an awful sound, and Bass' lips twitched slightly. He would bite his little smug beak right off his face. He was interrupted when Storm stepped between them, sending both a message to him and the crow. His pale ears slicked back slightly, quickly turning his head away from the black bird. Stupid thing. The alpha decided that he no longer liked the scavenging birds. But the darker coated woman smiled at him when he spoke of coming with him, and he relaxed slightly. Soon enough he would find out how to deal with someone who was blind, but he was no doubt making it even more awkward for himself. Stumbling and bumbling over his words, struggling to know what to do.

He was glad when she answered his questions without very much hesitation. He almost wanted to let out a breath of relief, but he held it back. She named a land that he had never heard of before, but it wasn't uncommon. Granted, he hadn't come from here either, it would seem that Ardent had become a safe haven for wandering souls. He was very interested when she spoke about healing, his tail swinging behind him. "Oh, a healer! I cannot tell you how excited I am to hear that. Abaven has very little healers right now, maybe if you don't mind you can hold a bit of a lesson?" Was that too much to ask? Oh boy. Bass was starting to feel like that awkward teenager again, even though he was well into his adult years. He chuckled softly, guiding her back towards the pack lands. Starling was still quiet since coming back home, but he didn't blame him. There was a not of things that he needed to fix to get right with his family. He had no idea what happened with Vali either, and Quake was still learning the ropes. Licking his lips, he looked back over at the blind woman. "Of course, if you feel like joining that is. Sorry I'm ah..." he paused, stopping along the beach to focus his gaze on her. His ears were flat and he tossed a look at the bird on her shoulders, wondering if the stupid thing was going to laugh at him or something. "Honestly I've never met someone who is blind before and I um... Well I feel like a gangling teenager trying to do things the right way," letting out a nervous chuckle, he didn't start up walking again until he heard her answer. Did she want to run away from him now? Cause he was being really weird, this wasn't like him at all. The whole thing was just new to him, and he didn't want to offend her.
