Fallen Star

The brutal heat and humidity of the summer, though not necessarily something his family was built for, was a fact that Kai was growing used to over his years here. Especially as of late, he'd been lingering in the easternmost territories of Boreas, less inclined to travel to the harsh north than he had once been. Perhaps in the winter he might make his return, but he was thoroughly enjoying the change of pace. Not that some chill in the air would be unappreciated. Kai panted softly as he made his way toward the closest body of water he knew of, which was the small lake near the eastern coast. Thanks to the sun's intense rays splaying down on his coat, he was beginning to feel quite thirsty and in need of some rest in the shadow. Or - better yet - maybe even take a quick dip in the lake to cool off.

Invigorated by the thought of a cold drink, Kai pressed on, his pace only slowing as he neared the lake. Someone else was already here, sliding into the lake as he approached, and he regarded the stranger with a watchful eye as he drew closer. Though Kai had no issues approaching strangers (and generally appeared quite friendly on the outside), his trust was something not quickly gained. Silver eyes laid on the male as Kai kept a distance from him, approaching the lake lazily. The stranger was easily a head smaller than him, though his dark coat with speckles of white across his back - like stars in a dark night's sky - caught his attention. "Afternoon!" Kai offered loudly, his voice friendly and a bit whimsical despite its deep tone. Slowly he made his way toward the edge of the water, maintaining that careful distance as he leaned down to take a quick drink. "Come here often?" That nonchalant, slightly playful way he spoke was characteristic of him, and his eyes gleamed with mischief as he eyed Cheveyo curiously.
