stranger than earth

Kai didn't focus too much on her reaction. All he knew was that she seemed flustered, first annoyed, but her expression slowly softened as she seemed to realize it was all in good fun rather than done out of malice. He gave little thought to the fact that she might not normally be someone prone to being startled - he was mostly amused by her reaction, letting out a soft chuckle as she responds to his question with a simple, 'No.' "Ah, good! I'd hate to be a pest," he assured her, but the playfulness audible in his tones said otherwise.

He wasn't exactly uncomfortable with silence, but he figured he'd offer a decent first impression instead of letting her sit all frazzled and distraught. Her next statement, less bristling than he expected, made his grin broaden. "Nor did I expect to be doing any ambushing, but here we are. There's no turning back now!" It seemed his own words amused him even further, and he found his tail waving gently behind him. It was hard to keep his silver stare from fixing on her as he slid onto the ice, perplexed by her demeanor. Instead of being downright upset, or nonchalant, she wavered somewhere in between.. a middle ground that perplexed Kai, since it was somewhere he rarely found himself. He was usually quite chipper and exuberant himself, rarely bothered by most things, but the things that did bother him bothered him truly and deeply.

He watched as she tested the ice herself, and he decided that she couldn't be all that upset with him if she hadn't either ran, or tried to run him off yet. She was playing along with his antics, which was definitely pleasing to him. "Don't worry, this lake is long since frozen over. You won't fall through." Or perhaps her wariness wasn't caused by that, but by the slickness of the ice? Who knew - he sure didn't. Wondering if she'd dare to slide like he did, he pushed off again, sliding across the sheet of ice with ease, a few more feet away now. "My name's Kai, by the way. Figure I owe you that, at least, for interrupting your nap." He chuckled, a bit more friendly now rather than teasing, as he raised a brow and assessed her. He owed her nothing, not really, but it sounded nice and he was generally a friendly fellow - especially in the company of a wolf as pretty as this was. That certainly didn't hurt his cause.
