He wasn't quite sure what he was expecting, but he was still surprised by the polite manner in which the cat spoke. It stunned him into silence for several heart beats, before he was able to shake himself to his senses. He couldn't recall the last time that he had been called sir, if ever at all. Licking at his lips, he slowly nodded his head, letting his gaze roam to the icy lake. He had seen what happened when the ice was stepped on, the eruption of blue that bloomed beneath his paws. It was beautiful, and something that he wanted to see over and over again. "I am. Much more comfortable than the summer heat," Lyulf said slowly, chewing over his words carefully. He didn't miss the wary glance of the lynx, mirroring his own feelings. He hadn't had much interaction with his own species, let alone others. An ember of curiosity burned in him, enough that he took a few more steps towards the cat. "I'm Lyulf." He remembered that introductions were a thing, sparing him some of the awkwardness of forgetting, unlike the last run in that he had had. A few more steps were taken, eyes lifting from the feline to the lake once more, tracing the arches of ice that seemed to burst forth from the frozen lake. "Have you stepped on the ice yet?" He asked, his words flowing a little more freely now that he had been speaking for a little bit. The tension in his shoulders started to ease, although his limbs were locked and ready to flee if he needed to. It was nice to have someone to talk to on this night, and for some reason he felt far more comfortable with this lynx than he did another wolf. It was hard to understand exactly why, but it didn't tug on his scarred heart like his own kind did. A lifted sigh left his lips, ease returning to his once pinched expression. He even managed a hint of a smile, inclining his head towards the surface of the lake as if she should watch him. Moving to her side, keeping a number of feet between them just in case, he reached out and pressed his pad into the surface of ice. At the pressure, blue lights exploded under his touch, twisting around his paw until they faded and died away. Briefly his mostly pale toned coat was outlined in the wonderful blues that the bio-luminescence cast on him. Lyulf's smile grew a bit, lifting his eyes to peek at the lynx in wonderment. |
