try to find my way back home

Steel had never been very good at talking to others, especially those he didn't know well. And though this man was a packmate, he was still very much a stranger to him. Most of his life had been spent in solitude, besides the few he had grown close to.. briefly he thought of his parents, then of of Faria, and finally of Esarosa and the family they had created together. His acquaintances had been few and far between, and he found himself suddenly wavering under the expectation to interact with this man. He knew he ought to -- making a good impression on the other wolves in Talis was important, to maintain a safe home for himself and his family. He had to push himself to reach out and to get to know others, even if he truly wasn't that interested in it.

The other man seemed as uncertain as he did, which made him feel infinitely more awkward. It was easy to talk to those who spoke freely and confidently, and he was adept at listening. But he caught a hint of discomfort in the younger one's voice, for reasons he couldn't begin to comprehend. It would never cross his mind to tell Esarosa he hadn't been hunting; he'd never been one to interfere with the affairs of others, and had no interest in starting now. He simply watched as he stumbled over his words, curious. His mouth tightened as he considered Gryphon's statement, almost an offer to hunt, but a hesitant one.

"I.. could join you?" Steel asked, his voice slightly impassive though his gaze was not unkind. He found it odd that the man had denied hunting, only to verify it a moment later, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was merely as much of a introvert as he himself was. "You're, uh.." His mind wandered for a moment, brow furrowing as he tried to recall the meeting. Though he recognized him as someone who Esarosa had been assigned to help mentor, it took him a long moment to recall his name. "Gryphon, right?"
