He would've focused on the boy's reactions more if the statement about not being able to see hadn't caught him off guard. Head tilting to the other side, ears flicking back and then forward as Scald's young mind tried to understand. "What do ya mean ya can't see?" His voice is confused and maybe slightly harsh. But he had never met anyone who couldn't see before - at least not totally. Before Scald even got an answer, the other boy had begun moving off deeper into the cavern. A quiet huff of frustration left him as he skipped forward to keep up.

Nearly bumping into the older boy in his attempt to keep up with him, Scald stopped to stare. If the guy couldn't see, it wouldn't be rude to stare, right? Not like his parents ever told him what was rude or polite anyway. While he was most interested in exploring the cavern, he wanted to know more about the boy who couldn't see. Even the dripping of water from the ceiling couldn't distract him. Not the peaty smell, the chill breeze wafting from the depths, the mysterious stones that would glint occasionally when a beam of light hit it just right.

When Scald opened his lips to ask another question, he was stopped when the boy asked for his name. "Scald. What's yours?" He answered quickly as he scrambled his too-big paws in a wide circle around the boy. The stone was slippery here, but he managed to stay on his paws. Taking a step closer, he never let his gaze leave the stranger's eyes, trying to see something different than everyone else's eyes.
