He couldn't imagine how tall it'd end up being by the time it was done, after all, the thing was really impressive as it was. Giving her a wry smirk, he said, "So if I ever visit here again I'll have to crane my neck up even further to talk to you, huh? sounds like it'll sure be impressive, then." Geez, he might just have to stop by again someday to see it. He dipped his head again in thanks and beamed, "My mother picked it. Only name da' was allowed to give me was my surname." He still wasn't sure why Mara hadn't allowed any of them to carry her surname instead of their fathers, but he figured maybe someday he might know. The boy suspected it could have something to do with that uncle of his. The guy wasn't exactly pleasant to be around. "I see. Well, I hope I'm not a disappointment. You know, you're actually the first pack wolf I think I've ever met. I've met a few strangers growing up who came from verious places but I don't think any were from packs. If they were they didn't mention 'em so it doesn't count anyways." He winked, amused by the fact that she'd really only met a few wolves so far. Kid had a ton to learn, and a lot that she'd yet to see. Even when he was her age he was racing all over the orchard and venturing into nearby lands to explore them, unable to be contained for long. His mother and father were never too far off though. He supposed you got a lot more opportunities to do that stuff though when your parents were loners and didn't exactly care to restrain your curiosity anyways. They weren't perfect, but they'd been good parents. Blinking a few times, he took in her expression and visibly softened as he asked, "Not excited to meet the masses? Can't be all that bad, huh? Bet they'll all be excited to meet you 'n stuff." "I mean, kind of all around but when I was born and until I was a bit older than you I lived in the Orchard, in the south. Lots of bit, pretty fruit trees. Yummy apples and pears to pick if you can reach the low branches. It was awesome. Mom did a good job picking a spot to raise us, I guess." He sat and thought a moment, then added, "'Course now I've left there and I just kinda go where I want and I don't stay any one place in particular. I was just thinking about where I ought'ta be goin' next when you started talking to me." Walk. "Speak!" "Think." |
