Call to the Void

His ears perked at the voice of another, a bark behind him. He twisted his head to see a stranger in the distance, closing the space between them. He sat down and smiled lightly in a subtle show of passivism; he didn't want this man to see him as a threat. As the man neared, he turned his attention back to the mountains. His paws itched to find what was at the top, or at least he yearned to see the view from up there. However, the winter cold and his lack of good climbing skills had put a barrier between him and his wants. He would have to wait till spring to attempt such a dangerous feat. He was hopeful the sight would be worth it in the end.
By the time he had finished his thought, the male had come up beside him, though still with some space between them. The man spoke, bringing up the beauty of the scenery that surrounded them. Novis simply nodded at first, inhaling the salty scent as though he was breathing in the area's magnificence itself. "It sure is. Sometime's when I find a site like this I want to sit there forever." He replied in an artificially deepened voice, though he tried his best to make it sound natural. He had failed to mention that every beautiful object compelled him to stay, even if it was just one tiny flower. Hunger or the need to explore further forced him away from his subject, but more often than not he would find another shiny object to fascinate over just a few miles away.
"I tend to travel around looking for places like this. It's a nice way to spend your time when you have nothing else to do. You get to see sights like this every day and meet new people if you're lucky enough." He would pause for a moment, taking in another eye-full of the scenery before continuing. "Speaking of, I'm Novis!" His soft smile slowly grew into a grin as he turned to the stranger. "What brings you here?"
