Branch didn't rush his approach, he never did. His demeanor was calm, his gait and body language showing his natural neutrality towards the world. This would in turn give the female time to retreat if she wasn't in the mood for company. Her woof was a bit surprising and at the same time made his tail wag a little. It seemed she was in the mood for some friendly company and he always looked forward to meeting others. He always welcomed the chance to get to know someone even if they may only be in his life for a few short moments.
Gentle smile spread on his lips as she came into view and he dipped his head in a quiet greeting. He would stop with a few yards between him, giving her space and respecting the fact that she may not want him any closer.
"Hello" he greeted his tail wagging again. "Nice day today isn't it?"
It truly was a nice day in his opinion and he could tell that Autumn wasn't to far away. The nights were getting cooler and the daylight was growing shorter, autumn would be here soon. He reclined into a sitting position allowing the female to make the move weather things would continue into conversation or not.
