It was unexpected, just how much he felt himself calming down around this feline. His own kind often made him tense and worried, but this lynx didn't pull at the scars on his heart like his own kind did. He had seen what a wolf could do, the twisted manipulation that rested inside of all of them. He didn't trust anyone else, having witnessed their rise to get what they want. One would think that that fear transferred to all beings, but apparently not. He could feel his muscles starting to uncoil, folding himself down to a seated position as he settled beside the feline, who named herself Natha. A warmer smile curled on his lips, ease chipping away at his icy exterior.

As he tapped the ice with his paw, he watched from the corner of his eye as Natha jumped backwards like a bat out of hell, before stalking forward and batting at it as well. A genuine laugh burst from him, something that rarely happened anymore. It was brittle and dry from sheer misuse, the sound almost burning in his throat. Lyulf watched her with warming eyes, head falling wayward when she asked if it were magic. A smaller chuckle bubbled up from his belly, sounding a touch more normal after the last had seemingly cleared the way. "Not magic, no. More... biology. It's called bio-luminescence, I believe. They are trapped in the ice and reactive to touch, apparently," his lit came easier now, more obvious comfort in his tone. The male couldn't help but grin at her very cat-like reaction, her stub of a tail twitching behind her as she pawed at the strange lights. Rising to all fours, he slid forward, the lights following behind him like a trail of smoke. He didn't go too far away, turning around to face Natha with a goofy look, so unlike the generally stoic male. His tail stood tall, shoulders wigging as he slid his paws across the ice. Lyulf had had no intentions of finding companionship, let alone someone that could make him laugh for the first time in a year.
