Askan's ears tilted back in a show of annoyance, but in reality he didn't really care. Sure, he wasn't exactly in a chatty mood but the fact she'd made an attempt to announce herself was better than the thought of having her creep around in the shadows. He turned a little, neck twisting so he could get a proper look at her. Even from where she stood Askan could tell that she was far larger and bulkier than he, almost dwarfing him in comparison. But despite her size he didn't get the impression that she was a brute or the sort who threw her weight around mindlessly like a raging bear. Though he supposed that he hadn't pissed her off yet, who knew what she was capable of. Russet aside her coat seemed normal enough, or at least compared to the mishmash of colours he'd seen on other wolves. The same couldn't be said for her eyes though, like his own, they burned bright in the darkness like a pair of setting suns.
"Hey." Askan rumbled in a somewhat clipped greeting. Perhaps he felt a touch lonely too, since he didn't feel like telling her to bugger off. "You much of a stargazer?" He asked, gesturing to the sky with a flick of his tail. "Someone once told me if you look hard enough you can find a meaning or something but it just looks like a bunch of dots to me." His brows furrowed, a little frustrated by that fact.
He wasn't sure what to expect. The few times he'd tried to start a conversation the words had been thrown back at him, like someone kicked sand in his eyes. Maybe the fault laid at his paws, maybe if he tried to be more nice things would work out better for him but did he really have it in him to pretend to be someone he wasn't? Probably not.
