To Infinity and Beyond

A noisy skittering drew Angelus out of his reverie. Somewhere nearby something was walking with rather heavy feet through the leaf litter. He couldn't decide if it was something big and fearless, like a bear, or simply something young and naive, and unaccustomed to stealth. He was hoping for the latter. A calf of some kind, maybe, or a young deer. Something he might be able to surprise.
What popped out of the foliage wasn't quite what he'd been hoping for, but it did fit into the category of young and naive. It was a boy, likely not even yet a yearling by the look of him, and instead of being alarmed by the presence of a stranger, the boy seemed ready to take him on if necessary.
To be honest it was kind of endearing. Hopefully the boy wasn't feeling brave because there were adults nearby ready and waiting for him to drop his guard. The last thing Angelus needed was to be ambushed.
"Angelus," he rumbled smoothly after the boy demanded his name. "And who, sir, are you?" If the boy was looking for respect, he was going to get it. At least for now. His courage had earned him that much. Of course if he chose to be snotty from this moment out it was entirely possible Angel would knock him off the log.
