Well, she hadn't laughed in his face yet, so that had to be a pretty decent sign, as far as Sol was concerned. "Little creatures? Like water fireflies?" He wondered, extending a paw to scratch at the ice. Only they glowed in a big blanket, not just individual bursts of light, so they were probably much smaller and close together. He bet his youngest siblings would love this place, and maybe his nephews too, but he wasn't so sure. They'd gotten so serious.
He didn't react much when she scooted closer, finding it to be a perfectly comfortable distance. Companionable, but giving them both enough space. "Yes and no? I actually don't have any problem meeting new wolves. In fact, I love it! I've just uh, mostly been around my family. My brother always said I needed to treat strangers like strangers since not everyone appreciates being treated like you've known them forever, you know? Personally I disagree with that but I guess I get where he's coming from so I've been making an effort. Oh, but I'm rambling aren't I? I always talk too much, I'm sorry!" He apologized again, hanging his head and grumbling to himself.
"So uh, where is Glaciem and what's it like?" He inquired, hoping turning the conversation over to her would help brush that horrible incident under the rug. Seriously, he really needed a tutor or something. He had left out the bit about being so awkward around females, deciding that would only make him more pathetic. Besides, that was probably obvious anyway.
If only he could just bury his head in the ice!
