The bitter taste of the berries would remain on his tongue, and the young boy would repeatedly swipe it between his front teeth to try and get as much of the taste off as possible but without much success. Ears were flattened to his head as he swallowed back the gathering saliva that pooled on his tongue. The slight bitterness falling back with it. He shuddered slightly at the aftertaste, though he would try to wash it out later with the first body of water he could find. And he hoped it would be soon, those berries sure didn't taste very good.
He backed up a step or two as the white woman approached closer, her eyes intensely gazing at him as if she were hatching some kind of strange idea in her mind. He blinked at her, ears turning with uncertainty. What would she say? Was she mad at him for spitting out the berries? Was he supposed to eat them? Thoughts ran in his head as he tried to come up with an explanation. The berries tasted bad, what else was he was supposed to do?
To his surprise, she had spoken to him but it wasn't what he had expected. She had asked him to go with her, and slowly his tail would wag a little. Would he get to see where she lived? That would be interesting! Nodding, his eyes grew bright and he forgot all about the nasty tasting berries. "Do I get to see where you live? Is your den nice? Is it big?" questions began to fly from his mouth, the ever curious pup wanting to know what excitement awaited his visit to her home. Or so he thought anyway.
She would move closer, his tail flying back and forth behind him, eyes alight with enthusiasm and curiosity. He was oblivious to her attempt at trickery, and would unknowingly play into it. "My name is Rin..Rin..cavor..non. Um...you can just call me Rin!" he exclaimed. Even he had trouble pronouncing his whole name often, it was long. At least to him it was, so he always just stuck with Rin. "I'm from a pack called Glaciem, it's somewhere around her but I don't remember where. My dad is the alpha but he's always busy doing stuff and never pays attention to any of us, so I went exploring and then I met you!" his tail wagged, mouth in a wide grin as he was happy to proclaim Chill as a friend. To him anyway, and he hoped that in some way she could be.
