It was pretty obvious that his presence wasn't entirely welcomed, but she also didn't reject him right away either. He certainly wouldn't press his luck if she didn't want him to bother her, but since she agreed slightly readily and introduced herself in return he thought that he might have just a little bit of a chance to have some company for a while. "A pleasure to meet you, Aranea. That's a lovely name," he replied with a polite dip of his head, letting his steps keep a slower pace to match the smaller strides she had. When she questioned his pack he nodded to confirm the fact that she had picked up on. "Indeed! Although I only just recently rejoined the pack a season or so ago if I'm being honest." He gave a small shrug, letting his eyes turn away from her to look at the ground in front of them to watch where they were going for a moment. "But at least a portion of my family is there so it's home." At least that's how he saw it. His family had always been his main focus so staying in Abaven had felt like a natural fit. Before he could ask her about her vaguely familiar pack, she came to a stop and he followed suit, letting his curious blue eyes linger on her as she observed the setting sun. The warm hues of the sunset played nicely across her pale fur, giving her a soft outline of sunlight and an almost etherial glow. He had to imagine that with the cool tones of white and gray that she wore she'd be even prettier in the moonlight though. His wayward train of thought was disrupted when she turned back toward him and mentioned how she had a long walk back to Lirim - indirectly answering his question about which pack she belonged to. He noticed how she stopped and lingered and he couldn't help the curiosity and interest that came through in his bright gaze. "It's going to be awfully dark soon," he commented thoughtfully, looking down at her and searching her face as he began to test the waters to see what she was looking for. "I'd hate to have you traveling by yourself all that way in the dark... I certainly wouldn't mind staying here for the night if you want the company. It's a beautiful night out." In all his years he'd never really let himself have a moment of wild spontaneity like this - especially not with a lady. In reality, he'd never really let himself explore the possibility of being with anyone before. Something about this warm summer air and the soft sounds of the night was bringing out a very peculiar side of him, but he kind of liked the thrill it brought. |
