He wasn't planning on being alone out here, it just sorta happened that way. Or did it? From the corner of his eye, Dread could see Basil stiffen. Though the cat was well hidden and giving the young man space, each knew the other was there. Each was acutely aware that they were no longer on their own. Someone was upwind of him, Dread could hear them. His head lifted, keen gaze flickering across the world around him. Certainly not alone... no. Her voice was rough, a dead giveaway. As close as the girl was now, Dread could smell her too. Pirate. Though his eyes narrowed and his posture remained stiff, there was nothing outwardly aggressive about Dread. Honestly, he was more awkward than anything else. He's not great about the whole social interaction thing. "What's it to you?" Not that one pirate could hold him captive, but what if she wasn't alone? Dread hadn't gone looking for trouble, but he wouldn't be all-together surprised if he found it. While Dread's guard was up, he was maybe curious too. She was around his age, tall, and maybe not that different from him. Maybe. |
