All That Glitters Is Gold

The child didn't seem at all bothered by his approach - not that he would've cared if she rather be left alone. Sometimes, especially after leaving home, he got in those moods too. Lately though he'd been craving interaction with others and while he wasn't glad to have broken his leg last season, he was glad that he'd dragged himself here, of all places. So far he was enjoying his time here quite a bit, even deciding that staying here past the repayment of his offered debt might not be such a bad thing. He'd have to wait and see what the future had in store for him.

But right now? He was transfixed by this cute child as she grinned up at him. His tail began to wag a bit more quickly behind him at her enthusiasm, which was quite palpable. "Hello there, Bowen. My name's Desota. But, my friends call me Sota, and so can you!" His more formal name had largely been abandoned in lieu of his nickname, a change that seemed fitting for his new life here in Boreas. He certainly had changed quite a bit since he'd first come here. "Shiny things?" He repeated, letting out a soft laugh. Ah, so she was treasure hunting. She would've fit in great with the Songa.. although their most prized possessed tended to be body parts of enemies and prey animal, rather than shiny things. But no matter. He could play along just fine. "Well then, we better get hunting. You're just after anything shiny?" Sota wanted some clarification before they got started, though he stood up a bit taller and looked very much like he was ready to assist in a treasure hunt.
