The young boy would swing his head around, practically looking at the man upside down. His tail wagged so hard that his rump wiggled with it and a large grin stretched across his maw. He didn't know this man, but after taking a look at him he could tell that he should. He was happy to meet anyone anyway. He was a pup; there wasn't a care in the world. He was untouchable by any wrong-doing forces.
"Ooo! Hi! Hello!" He shouted excitedly. "It is but I... I's want to go swimming." He looked back at the iced water, looking a bit sad now. But his expressions would change quickly once again to his happy, waggy self, looking back to the brute, "But I can't. I've got to wait until Summa time!"
Eyeing the man for a little bit while he was speaking, his eyes narrowed. "I's don't know who you are but you mus know me. I'm Exodus, What's your name?" He was also implying that he wanted to know how he was related but his mind was a little too underdeveloped at this age. He still needed to learn more words and stuff, but he would probably never forget meeting his uncle today.
