There is a palpable tension between them. He can feel it as the other boy regards him. Slight movements of the face, eyelids closing and opening, lips moving. Scald stays in place, only a mere few feet away. He is also looking the other boy over. Two different colored eyes latched on, unmoving, waiting with baited breath. Would there be aggression? His hackles start to raise a hair more. His breath hitches until the stranger speaks only four words. Was he really questioning if it was just the two of them? Scald’s face tilts back to the other side as his ears move back. He finally allows himself to glance around. Grass, wildflowers, sparsely placed trees, flittering birds, an occasional dragonfly. From what he could see, smell, and sense, yes indeed it was just the two of them. It is only seconds later that he looks back at the boy. “Why yes, it is just me and you,” he answers as his expression shifts into a more placid and docile appearance. Shifting his weight so he rests it on one hip, he allows his hackles and quills to smooth out. “What brings you out here?” Scald asks, hoping that maybe the boy just needs some enticing to come out of his shell.
