Give Yourself A Try

The interactions that Corvus had had with non-family members was quite lacking, truth be told. He could count on a single paw the number of them he'd actually spoken to, though he wouldn't be so eager to admit that out loud to anyone. Family meant everything, as far as he was concerned... but he also knew that he was a yearling now, and growing up meant stepping outside of his comfort zone. There was so much he had yet to learn, and he knew to better protect his family from whatever the world might throw at them he needed to simply learn more about it.

He huffed softly, though, as he heard the pawsteps of a stranger. The male's scent was not familiar, though he hadn't expected it to be, but Corvus was determined to not judge him before he at least got to speak with him. The yearling tilted his oversized head as Branch approached, offering him a faint smile. "Uh, hey," he offered in his own tentative form of a greeting, clearing his throat as he sat a bit more upright. The stranger was older than him, it seemed, but not by all that much.. not enough that he felt like he was talking to his dad or anything. "My name's Corvus. What's yours?" That was how you made friends, right? It seemed like a pretty alright start..
