Satisfied that the stranger wasn't going to leap at him to devour his soul or whatever, the boy stretched, letting his muscles release the tension of the last few... however long it had taken to get here. Thank you! Does this region have a name, a claim? He glanced around with a little chuckle, I'd hate to be trespassing without realizing it! His tail wagged but she seemed relaxed enough that nothing was wrong. She was moving around the edge of the pool so he started to investigate some of the plants that happened to be at the edge of the water, not wanting to invade her space or show too much interest in this new stranger, Nice to meet you!

She seemed to find something and he looked over, ears pricked with curiosity.

A cave? Oh, neat! He hopped into a trot, heading her way and peering around her at the cave entrance, Not a clue! I hadn't even noticed it, barely just arrived! He grinned at her, Let's check it out, yeah? and through the downpour he leaped, paws catching easily on the rock behind the water. It took a moment for his eyes to clear and focus in the light but when they did, he let out a sound of surprise. This whole area smelled like sugar!
