The sound of her laughter felt like the sweetest victory he had achieved in quite a while. It made his lopsided grin grow even bigger, the left corner of his mouth pulling even harder against his scar and warping it a bit under the strain. Making others happy was something he throughly enjoyed whether he was close with them or not, especially when they seemed anxious or upset in any way. He nodded in agreement when she spoke of Waterfall Peak being a fitting name for this place. "That it is, much more on-the-nose than some places," he agreed with a chuckle. "My usual stomping grounds are called the Lover's Mangroves and there is a distinct lack of lovers around there." He couldn't say he was typically this chatty or out going, but she seemed to bring the humor out of him. She pulled laughter from him in return with her comment on him looking like a bear. With his size and tone of his coat it was an easy comparison and one he had heard before, but the way she poked fun at him over it made him laugh his deep, jovial laugh. It felt good to laugh after all the worry and guilt that had been lingering on his mind lately. "Oh well, here's the secret... He leaned in with a falsely serious expression and told her in a low voice as if he was sharing his darkest secret with her. "I actually am part grizzly bear." His silver eyes sparkled with humor at his own joke as he leaned back from her again, his crooked grin returning in full force. He'd never really been self conscious about his size, but he was very aware of the fact that he was much larger than most wolves and he very rarely ever crossed paths that matched him in build and height. He'd sometimes find wolves that were similar in one aspect or another, but not both. The darkness was threatening to cut their time together short and he found himself feeling a bit disappointed. It was a rare feeling for him to be disappointed by the idea of leaving someone he had just met, but there was something incredibly interesting about her and he wanted to know more. "Do you have somewhere you typically stay? Or are you more of a traveler?" he asked curiously, his head tipping slightly to the side. Perhaps if he knew where to find her later then they'd be able to cross paths again... Of course that was assuming that she wanted to see him again as well, but thus far it seemed like she had been enjoying herself so it didn't feel like too much of a stretch to hope that. He was very quickly discovering that being alone wasn't something he enjoyed all that much so finding someone that he might be able to see consistently sounded absolutely wonderful. |
