Tasty Treats And New Faces

The dazed expression written across her face as she looked up at him to mutter a shy thank you made him grin wider, her reaction to him endearing and flattering. She seemed to catch herself and dipped her head as she introduced herself in turn, but now he just wanted to get her to react like that again. She was a pretty little thing and it had been far too long since he had anyone to spend some time with. He'd kept himself busy with his new job forging armors and weapons for Armada, but that didn't stop the free roaming brute he was at heart. When she agreed to go sit and talk with him while they ate treats he flashed her another toothy grin and nodded for her to follow. Right this way then." What better way to spend time at a Love Day carnival anyway? If he left the event without at least trying to snag some time with a beautiful woman why did he even bother coming?

He led her away from he bustling carnival booths, moving off to a less populated portion of the carnival where some draping fabric had been tied up between a few trees, creating a shaded, grassy area. There were a few couples and groups clustered around the area and he found a secluded spot under one of the large trees for them to claim. He settled onto his stomach with a relaxed sigh, slipping his satchel off and setting it off to the side after he pulled out the cinnamon sugar dusted pastry from the bag. He hadn't been planning on eating right now, but he didn't mind a change of plans if it gave him an excuse to get to know Athena a bit better. He waited till she had gotten comfortable as well and he smiled while he admired her for a moment with casual glances down along her earthen-hued frame. He had tried to pin down what was his type a few times, but he had been interested in ladies of all heights, sizes, fur colors and patterns. He enjoyed all of them for different reasons.

He took a bite of the pastry between his dark paws and was actually surprised at how much he enjoyed the flakey treat, the cinnamon adding a nice hint of spice to the sweetness. He hummed appreciatively and looked back up to Athena again, catching her amber gaze with a little smirk. "You have a good eye for tasty treats it seems," he told her with a chuckle. He took another bite and swiped his tongue across his lips as he sat back a bit to look at her appreciatively again. "So, what brings a pretty girl like you out here on your own? I'm surprised you didn't already have a guy chasing you around."
