Inside My Head

He didn't know why it was so surprising hearing Onyx say that she had missed him the most, but it was. She had never been the type to seem all that friendly or like she had really wanted him to be her friend, but now that he was older and he was able to see past his own ego and tendency to let his attitude flare up at the littlest thing he could see better now that it was just how she was and how she approached things. He returned her smirk, playing off a bit of the awkwardness with her with a chuckle, replying, "Yeah, I guess you're alright too." He gave her a bit of a teasing grin, relaxing more now that he was sure that there wasn't any hard feelings or resentment between them. He had always been worried about what wolves from his past were going to think about him that it had just been easier to separate himself from all of them, but now he was starting to wonder if maybe that had been too harsh of a reaction.

Everyone needed to spend time on their own to figure out who they were in his opinion. She asked him to show her some of the best spots around here and a teasing grin tugged at his lips as he replied, "You sure you can handle the heat down here, snowball?" He chuckled and got to his paws, nodding his head for her to come with him. "I'm just kidding. Of course I will. This grove is a pretty good spot for hunting and gathering, but there's better looking places in Auster for sure." This certainly wasn't how he had expected his day to go, but he wasn't exactly upset at the outcome either.
