What the heck?

Sota hadn't really thought much about actually meeting the giants that lived here. Obviously he couldn't go forever without running into them, but he wasn't fully prepared for this interaction quite so soon. It left him feeling quite out of his element, and though he hoped that it wasn't obvious he had a feeling it definitely was. Oh well. At least he wasn't making a fool of himself in front of wolves who he'd consider his peers - doing so in front of complete strangers (who he'd hopefully never meet again) was a much preferred alternative for him. Thankfully for him, she didn't seem taken aback by his demeanor, instead offering a soft laugh as she gazed up at him.
The sound faded, but the pleasant smile remained, which calmed his slightly frazzled spirits. Well.. at least partially. She all but ignored his question, which wasn't exactly rude but still caught him off-guard. He resisted the rather strong urge to bow to her, deciding he already probably looked quite ridiculous and that bowing would only accentuate his weirdness. The question made him pause yet again, cocking his head to the side as he leaned down to look at her better. "I've always climbed trees," he admitted, sounding a bit perplexed. He knew from tales told by those back in his homelands that not everyone grew up climbing trees as he'd always grown up doing. "I suppose it's just... second nature to me now." Sota carefully navigated down to a thicker branch, using his forepaws to guide him down to the base of the tree in one fluid jump. The landing was about as graceful as he could manage, and he rapidly steadied himself on all fours as he got a better look at Clementine. She was considerably bigger than him, which he could tell now that he was standing on level ground with her. "My name's Desota, by the way, but you can call me Sota."
