What Is This Feeling?

Kyda?s would blink some as she whined, his ears lifting in hopefulness. Sympathy. Understanding. The small smile upon the face of the female would become a grin as she gave her own name. Koi. He had heard that there was a type of fish that bore the name as well, beautiful ones. Her last name was something he was going to make sure to remember too, even if it was one that wasn?t familiar. His own tag began to wag a mile a minute as the those four precious words left her mouth. A friend. He had made a friend.

Excitement, happiness, relief, all of it erupted at once as Kyda recovered from the playful bump and got to his own paws. It was at that angle Koi might have noticed that the male she stood with didn?t have the parts that set him apart as a male anymore... And instead the scars upon the healed flesh was there. It was still a tender area, but he no longer had to worry so much about tearing it once again and bleeding out. The healer who had helped him was certainly knowledgeable in his trade... And Kyda hoped to see him at least one more time, to thank him again for saving him... For giving him the chance to live and find a new friend. To find Koi.

Such hope shown in his eyes, everything else in the past, for the moment, forgotten to give way to this new feeling that bloomed in his chest. Koi spoke a little differently than other wolves he had met too, but Kyda didn?t mind. It was nice, beautiful. It set her apart and made her unique. The male dropped his own front half to the ground, butt and tail both wagging in the air. ?You thank~~ Wonderful are you. Friends good always will be we.? He would tap her paw then, a little giggle escaping his maw. She seemed to want to play, and Kyda wanted to play too! ?It you are!? Then he would turn and bounce ahead a few steps, looking over his shoulder to see if she was going to follow.
