The soft tinkle of a bell gracing his cold bitten ears, the golden eyes looked over with a solemn stare before his eyes widened in surprise, paws reeling him back a step or two in surprise and shock. So grossly captivated by her facial cover, the gentleman had no real notice of the winds dying down around him. "Whoa." Breathlessly he spoke, staring at her with awe and admiration while he realized his flaw and shook his head correcting himself. "Good god, I'm so sorry. I'm never that rude. You took me by surprise is all. Yeah, it's rough up here, and being my first time wandering off this far North... I don't think I had success on my side." The end of his sentence relied on a soft chortle, slowly easing into conversation with the new wolf.
His nose worked quietly to gather information from where he stood. She was of feminine nature, different smells surrounding her as though she'd wandered before. Yet the cold smell of snow clung to her like a bad habit, signifying she could have been in the North a lot longer. Goldenrod eyes turned to the area they stood in, open and barren other than ice spires standing up from the ground to point up at the sky. Snow clustered around their paws and the ground like a blanket, thrown messily to the side, everspanding across the earth.
"The name's Serpentine, I'm here in search of my family, but I think I've just been wandering at this point." He admitted bashfully, turning his gaze away for a moment before returning his stare to her outstanding gaze peering at him from the depths of the skull, fit properly around her own.
