Solaris grinned a little. "Yeah, well, I've met wolves who spoke to them somehow--don't ask me. Anyway, that's he only reason I know that they eat plankton, because that wolf was afraid that the whale would eat him, and I guess the whale explained things. Neither of us knew what a plankton is, though. I guess now I know it's glowy water things. Not exactly my type of meal, but hey." Giving the ice a few more curious scrapes, Solaris breathed a slow sigh in response to her own.
"Whoa, is that a challenge Renesme? I'll have you know I take challenges quite seriously," he warned, his face fixed into a deadpan. But his tail was wagging slowly, and after a few seconds the look began to crumble, his lips twitching in a small smile. "But I'll go on and pass on the challenge, since I'd rather not embarrass you, m'lady." The scabs were faint, but they were there, and far be it from Sol to aggravate an injury.
She spoke of her pack so highly, he couldn't help but be curious. A king who would do anything for his pack, that was definitely a good thing, right? "Funny story regarding a near death experience as a pup, about that. I wasn't exactly a model child." He smiled wanly, looking about their surroundings. Solaris stood up as well upon seeing her shift, but he wasn't really sure what to say now. Did she want to leave? Was he boring her? Ugh, he was probably talking too much again. 'Way to go, Solaris.' He settled for looking out at the lake, shuffling his feet and chewing the inside of his cheek.
"Speech"
