Problem Child

Noir continued through the tall grasses, quite oblivious to his surroundings when Odysseus suddenly appeared in front of him. The young boy tried to hide his surprise as he was confronted with the tall man. ”Noir, is it?” The boy shouldn’t have been surprised that the dark coated man knew his name, but he was. For a moment he didn’t know how to react, the man was obviously waiting for him, and had placed himself right in the boy’s path.

”Yes,” He answered a little hesitantly as h lowered his raised paw to the ground, halting before the man. ”Who are you?” He wanted to ask why the man had stopped right in his way, but he didn’t want Ody to know how discontent he was with the meeting. The boy should have guessed that this was his new mentor, but the thought hadn’t yet crossed his mind. He debated for a moment about going around the massive wolf, but he waited for the answer before making his escape.
