*Lyulf* · 04-25-2020, 08:46 AM

Both wolves were awkward at best, a fact that pulled Lyulf's ears back against his skull. Of course, the stranger that he runs into is one that cannot hold a conversation, just as he could not. Swallowing back the seedlings of doubt that rose within him, he tried his best to fix his attention on the younger, much larger wolf before him. He claimed that he was no expert in climbing, but it was still a fact that boggled his mind. Never before had he really looked at a tree and thought about making his way up it. Given the sheer size of the branches that these trees bore though, he could understand the want to try. Curiously he looked upwards, following the almost step like pattern that crisscrossed across the skyline, if one was confident enough, he was sure that this was the place to climb trees. Interesting... He tucked the thought into the back of his mind to come back and try later, but not with a stranger before him in which he could end up embarrassing himself... more than usual.

When the pale male jumped from the branch on which he stood, Lyulf scrambled backwards to make him room. He was quite the large lad, even though he was younger than himself, he stood much taller. Lyulf shifted his weight across his paws slightly, not used to seeing such giants. It made him feel even smaller, and just a little intimidated. He licked at his suddenly dry lips, dipping his head slightly in more of a greeting. The other was the first to make introductions, making Lyulf curse under his breath. He had forgotten all about needing to do that, having been alone for so long made it harder to remember just how to interact with others. "Pleasure, Plague. I am Lyulf," he said slowly, his tail bouncing between his hocks as he tried to think of something to keep the ball rolling. The other, Plague as he stated, seemed to be the one holding up most of their chat, it was time he tried his best. Inhaling sharply, Lyulf could tell that this boy was from a pack. His brows furrowed slightly, he hadn't remembered crossing by any pack lands in his exploration of the North just yet. "Are you from a pack from around here?" Was that even a question he was allowed to ask? He hoped so... Lyulf had no interest in joining a pack, not just yet, but it didn't mean that he wasn't curious about them. Part of him missed that feeling of belonging, of being part of a family and surrounded by those you care for. A more somber look overtook his features as he folded himself down, sitting on the cold snow below. There was something so special about being a part of something... more, and he would be lying if he said that he didn't miss it.

"SPEAK!"
