Engrossed in his meal, the swamp wolf completely missed the soft shh, shh, shh of delicate paws over grass as someone approached. It was only when he heard a gentle, quiet voice nearby that he found himself flinching instinctively and reaching for his mask. "H-hello," The muntjac skull lay in the grass beside him, taken off mindlessly in the pursuit of lunch. Wide emerald eyes fixed on the slender features of a petite fae, by the looks of it she was smaller than him- a rare feat nowadays. Her demeanour was nonthreatening, and her expression read more of contrition than aggression. "You m-make fishing look easy," she said just as quietly as her greeting. Hesitating, the lichen dappled yearling wondered if he should forgo the remainder of his meal and get the hell out of dodge. However, it didn't look like the tiny damsel was interested in attacking. "Uh," he grunted, swallowing the remainder of the fish in his mouth. "I'm used to snaggin' catfish, but I've gotten pretty good at catchin' most other fish. Helps to live near the water." the mud hued healer said with a small shrug, furtively curling one paw around the carcass. Once more his gaze cut away to the mask beside him, resting between himself and the stranger- still acting as a barrier of sorts. No, he would leave it there for now. Attention returned to the warm brown features of the small fae, a small, lopsided grin toying at the corners of his maw. "Ya not much of a fisher?" he questioned lightly, trying to ease the tension caused by her sneaky approach. |
