Don't be afraid to catch feels

He couldn't help but laugh when she expressed just how awful going to the north had been. It sounded like he was listening to himself talk. "Oh, trust me, I'm right there with you. I took two steps into the north and realized it was a bad choice." If or when he decided to finally pick a certain place to call "home" he imagined it would probably be somewhere near here. If he could find a place that would be warm as much of the year as possible that would be ideal for him. Since it seemed like his new acquaintance seemed to feel the same way he could assume she would share that sentiment. Her brief, glancing comment about where she grew up made him curious. It was the same part of his mind that made him go into the north even though he hated it. The mystery and curiosity drew him in. For now he let it go, but he stored that away to ask about later. He grinned a little and replied, "Well, remind me to hang out in the desert more often then," with a sly tone to his words, finishing the statement with a chuckle. He watched her settle down into the water and pondered joining her. As much as he loved the warmth that spoke to his fiery persona, the cooling water did look pretty inviting. As sly and confident as he was he still didn't want to push his boundaries too soon so he remained on the shore for now. Maybe once they knew each other a bit more he could think about getting closer to her. He hummed thoughtfully at her series of questions she posed for him. "I can't say I had any real agenda in mind. Enjoy the heat, relax in the shade, meet someone new... Oh, well, what do ya know. I checked off everything on my list." He chuckled and lowered himself down onto his stomach so that his forepaws dipped into the edge of the water. The cool water did feel pretty fantastic on his travel-worn paw pads. "Don't really have any family or friends to answer to since my sisters are off doing their own thing. Haven't really messed with being in a pack or anything like that... I guess I'm just here out of sheer boredom and lack of anything else to do." A slightly more honest and real answer than the first. He shifted his gaze back to hers and smiled a little, asking, "What about you?" |
