would you follow me?

His stoic pose was interrupted by a quick start at the sound of a familiar yipping. Rusty brows knit together as he turned around, amused at the fact that it had been Eris sneaking up on his rear this time instead of the other way around. Suddenly her cheery face appeared from the side of his chosen perch as she greeted him with much more enthusiasm than he wanted. He shook his head at her, though he doubted she could see as his dual toned body shifted and descended from the log.

While he still wanted to collect his due the Nightingale boy wouldn’t entertain the idea of being rude. One day, maybe. ”Hello, Eris.” His voice was warm despite his ulterior motives. He shifted his bulky form down the trunk of the tree, coming to stand above where she leaned against the trunk. ”Are you following me?” Oxide asked amusedly, curious about her sudden appearance at her side. Hadn’t she wanted to be with her family?

With great care not to disturb her the giant of a wolf leapt over her form, landing on the green grass behind her. He shifted gracefully, turning his form to face her once more.
