The boy's heart pounded. Strange that he was so afraid despite his near gargantuan size. But even so, he couldn't help it. He was in a strange place with strange things. Even the landscape was strange, the ground and rocks had cut and nicked his paws and legs on the way in like a warm knife slicing through butter.
A sound had then caught his attention, a dual pair of colors staring at him from the shadows. Brows creased together as his head tilted, someone else was here too? Her voice broke through the shadows, questioning but friendly. He turned his body to face her, the look of hopelessness disappearing. "I uh...wanted to go exploring and decided to try my paw at hunting but...it didn't work out too well."
He flashed her an embarrassed look, a crooked grin contorted his maw as his ears picked up, a question of his own coming to mind. "What are you doing out here?" He would question in a friendly tone, glad that he was no longer by himself out in this strange place. Perhaps they would be friends, unless she chose to just show him out and go on her way.
"Speech"
