Trek Lightly

He had barely heard the other coming. Lost in his surroundings as well as his own thoughts, the boy had not expected to hear the voice of another when he did. Turning toward the dark lupine, he noticed immediately that he was smaller than the other by far. Yet the other was not quite evened out, his proportions were odd, he was growing, even though he was at least a season older than he himself. Perhaps some sort of fear or worry should have been instilled within him, yet a startling sense of nothing seemed to surround his non-existent opinion of the other. He had asked for his name before introducing himself - didn't that make him brash? "Vous ?tes impoli." He said somewhat quietly, his young voice the closest thing to a pur that it could get.

"Aeron." He said after a pause, answering the other's question. There was no reason for him to keep his name away from the stranger, right? Besides, it didn't matter, nothing did - not when his family had all but vanished. They were his world and then they were gone... but opposed to nothing being left, the young lupine seemed to be swimming in a world of strangers, feeling nothing for them if not an inkling of remorse that he didn't feel something for them. Compared to the few that he met and remembered, he was lacking something important. "What do you want with it?" He questioned, stepping forward and looking over, albeit up, at the other male. His expression remained placid, hopelessly neutral but... curious in a sense that he was actually focusing on someone for the first time in days. "If you want it you can have it - unless yours is better." Then it wouldn't do him any good to take the only thing that the boy had left.


It was also a subtle invitation for the other boy to give him his name. He didn't care for making acquaintances, he didn't care for much of anything at all. But that seemed to be the proper way to handle things from here on out, and going with the motions had gotten him this far. The civil thing for the other to do would be to tell him his own name.
