He grinned a little when Hanako came charging toward him through the water. Her excitement and energy was contagious and by the time she was standing in front of him practically dancing in place his tail was wagging nearly as fast as hers was. He hadn't really been sure if she would be as happy to see him again as he was to see her, but it seemed like she was. He knew they had only met the one time on the obsidian beach, but he still thought pretty fondly of that meeting so he hoped she did too. However, something quickly interrupted her excitement and he tipped his head to the side with curiosity and concern when she mentioned that someone in her pack had gone missing. He wasn't entirely sure which pack it was she lived in - the last time they met she hadn't smelled of any pack at all, so that must have been a development after they met - and he wasn't sure what kind of position a Reaper was, but anyone going missing at all was never a good thing. He frowned since she very clearly hadn't found who it was she was looking for yet and he just hoped that whoever it was turned up soon. Nolan nodded in agreement when she mentioned resting up here before they went back to their pack. He'd only just arrived, but he could tell this was a great place to do that. All the stories of the oasis he had heard were definitely true and it was even prettier in person. The way her sentence trailed off when she spoke of over staying her welcome didn't get past him and it made his brows pull together for a moment. Had she been by Valhalla without him realizing it? Or had she been by Lirim and had a problem? Either way he didn't like the sound of it, but before he could ask about it she jumped back into her happy, bubbly self. He blinked with surprise at the sudden shift and another grin pulled onto his lips. His own eyes widened with surprise by her suddenly close proximity, his pink eyes crossing a bit as he tried to keep his eyes on her as she accused him of spying on her. He laughed a bit with a very quick shake of his head. "No no no," he insisted, giving her his relaxed, goofy grin. "Are you kidding? I'm not nearly sneaky enough to do that. No, I just wanted to get out of the pack for a bit and go exploring and this place was close enough to come visit without getting too far away from home." His expression grew a little more shy with his grin turning bashful in his own silly way as he added, "I still hadn't come to see the oasis since I mentioned it to you before and the curiosity finally got the best of me." |
