A New Friend

The poor wolf's reaction was one of fear. He scrambled back, dropping into a submissive state. A worried from crossed Kar's muzzle. Such a quick drop to submission like that definitely hinted at abuse. Kar wasn't one hundred percent familiar with how abuse could affect a wolf's mind and cause him to be jittery... but he knew that it could psychologically damage them and make it hard for them to trust others. Lime green eyes met with the wary eyes of the stranger. He didn't move, not wanting to startle the other young male further. Instead Kar let his warm, reassuring smile cross back onto his face as his tail swayed slowly back and forth behind him. 'He looks really worn down...' Kar thought, continuing to analyze the other male.

Finally the other male got up the courage to give a quiet reply. "Likewise, Mako." Seeing that the other male was making his way out of his hiding place the gray brute sat down and curled his tail around his paws like much a cat. "It's alright you know. I'm not an enemy of any kind, or even a pack wolf. You're safe with me." Kar spoke the words calmly, a bright, friendly look shining in his eyes. He didn't want the other to be afraid. He wanted Mako to be at ease and feeling comfortable enough to talk to him. "Pardon me if I'm being a bit bold but... what are you hiding from?" The brute frowned. "Well... more importantly... do you need help getting away from it?"
