Coming of Age

Walk | "Talk" | Think Mentally Rune could have kicked himself for not helping to make the other young she-wolf more comfortable. His awkward pauses and uncertain answers were likely not helping her at all, nor were they doing anything to add points in his favor. As a pup, he had always been comfortable living in the shadow of his siblings, not fighting with either of them for attention. But now having to venture out on his own, to stand for himself rather than with others, he was beginning to realize just how much he had been missing by not trying to mimic their behavior. So he did his best now. The white she-wolf answered at length, looking somewhat harried by his question, and stated that she did have a pack but couldn't remember certain things about it. Like where it was located. Or what it was called. The grey based wolf listened with a growing sense of confusion. How did she not know these simplest of details? Even he had known these sorts of things at a younger age, and knew now how to get back there despite having become ensnared in this disorienting of places. Was there a chance she only said it as a defense, to signify that there were others who kept her well-being in check? Did he really give off the impression of seeming so dangerous? Irritated as it made him feel, his frown deepening slightly, he tried to set it from his mind. What did he care? She was not part of his pack, and the chances of seeing her again once they parted ways was unlikely, particularly since she didn't seem to have any idea of where she was going. And this fact really had no influence on his ability to at the very least get her out of the thicket unscathed. "I can get you out of here," Rune answered, "but you'll have to find your way back to...wherever you're from." His final words were stated with a touch of skepticism, but he made no further comment aside from that. It wasn't his business; it was probably best he kept it that way. "C'mon." Without another word, the blue-eyed youth turned on his heel and began to pace back in the direction he had been walking before being stopped by the girl, ears turning slightly to listen for the sound of her following him. He turned his head slightly, looking to catch her from the corner of his eye, and quietly admired her pristine coat. It really did make her eyes stand out. He slowed his pace slightly, attempting to accommodate for her smaller, shorter gait, and wracked his brain for a moment on how he might encourage further conversation, still wishing to drive away some of the awkwardness that seemed to hang around them. "So...I know you've forgotten where you live...but do you remember your name?" He tried to make the statement sound teasing, but even to his ears it sounded more mocking than anything. He only hoped she had a good temperament and wouldn't hold his inexperience with conversations among strangers against him. |
