He was actually excited to see her! For some reason just that thought along warmed her from the very core of her being. She didn't know why she had expected differently, why she had assumed that it would be anything but a warm welcome. Though their first meeting had a bit rocky due to her being unable to communicate with them properly she had liked Talon right off the bat. Partially because he was missing a hind leg like her adoptive father had been missing one of his. Though Talon's body had yet to adapt in quite the same way Prospero's had. Where as his front leg had almost migrated completely to the middle of his chest Talon's leg remained to the side which made him teeter a bit more then Prospero did. But eventually he would get the hang of it, just like it had taken Kangi a while to get to hang of walking. She had tried, for a short time, to walk with three legs and had gained some mad respect for Talon and Prospero. She just couldn't do it! She had spent most of the time tipping and toppling over! So that dream to become one of the cool kids like them had shattered into a million pieces. Oddly enough she had even been a bit disheartened by this fact. Maybe one day when she got all four of her legs in proper working order, they were still a bit too long and she felt gangly and awkward most of the time.
He was thoughtful and she was attentive, sitting and hanging on his every word as he attempted to describe what a king was to her. A leader? What was that? Though she understood the concept of someone leading like when Prospero walked ahead of her and she followed him or when he told her what to do because he was her dad of sorts but... Why was a bunch of wolves living together and following one wolf? What and who gave him this authority? Even though she was still quite confused by the idea she smiled at his enthusiasm and giggled as he moved closer. Still more awkward then Prospero but then again she wasn't anywhere near as graceful as the other wolves with 4 legs either... So she wasn't one to judge. He carried on with his explanation of the scents and the pack. She had so many questions but she didn't want to over load him, maybe she should go talk to this king sometime? "I call you next time, wouldn't want get run off and never see you again..." she said, forcing a frown but her smile quickly returned as she nudged his shoulder, careful not to push too hard and make him loose his balance.
Why was he surprised that she was here?!? He was so nice, didn't he have lost of friends who came to visit him? "Of course I find you!" She exclaimed, hopping to her feet in the shock of it all. Why wouldn't she come find him? "You were so nice, I had to come! Missed you!" Though the statement was probably quite bold she didn't show any shame in it, a time resolution apparent in her tone. Her speech was still choppy but since learning the language better she had always been one to speak her mind, Prospero had warned her a few times that she was a bit too bold but that had yet to stop her. Maybe as she got older it would come back to bite her in the bum but for now she had gotten by just fine. "Where you live?" She asked after a moment, glancing over his shoulder in the direction he had come, looking for more specifics. She would have asked/ demanded the grand tour of his home but she knew that Prospero's one leg often grew sore on long treks and they had to break often when walking. She didn't want to make him uncomfortable or get him to strain himself in any way. She didn't know yet how long she would be here so maybe they could slowly explore it, or maybe she could come back another time.
Speech!
