A shadow among many

Garth's lips formed the shape of a smirk, the first time he showed such facial features since meeting his russet-faced guest. Flitting thoughts of Chrysanthe rose in his mind, but they didn't last long enough for him to really miss her. Instead, he met his eyes with Athena's once more and he lightly rolled his black shoulders. The fur of his scruff revealed the many colors of white and silvery gray that lay beneath the surface. "I guess I am," he replied, not really upset by being a novice. The company he was sharing was indeed good and he didn't think it odd that he was a few seasons older than the pretty she-wolf. From where he stood, she seemed to be able to hold herself up to any type of conversation, regardless of the counterpart's age. She asked him of his former place of residence and he took his time in answering her. The ice gleamed against his coat in the sunlight as they continued to slowly walk through the forest. Finally, he replied. "I don't mind at all, actually. I came from a world known as Neopia. Most of my past is there, which is why I had to leave..." He wouldn't go into the details of Dez and his missing children. The drama he had left behind was enough for him in the lifetime he was currently enjoying. Garth pushed back the simmering feelings and memories that were threatening to boil over in his mind. He hated thinking about those days, especially when most of them were bad. As he mentally poured them out of the boiling pot of his mind, his glacier blue eyes watched Athena with silent interest. "What about you? Have you always been on Alacritia?"
