Aftermath

Walk | Talk | Think

He spoke with such certainty, such conviction, that she was for a moment tempted to abandon her own challenge just to get away from his unyielding confidence. He could not be there forever; eventually something would pull him away. It would start off with a meal, and then he would get distracted, and then he would forget all about her while he was off exploring other places, not at all concerned for the one he left behind. "Whatever," Yin muttered below her breath, not caring too much if he heard but hoping he would shut up about it. She might have come back to him but that did not mean as was ready to listen to him go on and on about how much of a "loyal friend" he would be.

He eventually did fall silent, his attention turning to the stream instead. In the quiet offered to her, Yin studied her new companion through another scowl. He was shorter up close than he had appeared upon first looks, much smaller than she would have expected such a confident wolf to be. His coat was admittedly appealing in design but then again so had Hansel's been, and look where the two of them were now. She breathed in slowly and let it out in a sigh. No, she needed to not think about him. At least this wolf did not share his blue eyes. His gold were so much brighter, so much more vibrant. It was like the color reflected the golden knight he thought himself to be.

Eyes met as he turned away from the stream carrying a fish - he had been fishing? - and without a word it was placed before her upon the ground. Her two-toned eyes traveled down to it and then back up to Klypso suspiciously. Was it for her? Would he be offended if she ate it? She had never tried fish before. She placed a paw on it and drew it closer, leaning her head down with her eyes still upon Klypso just to be sure it was hers before she parted her jaws and took her first bite. Certainly nothing like the meat she acquired from the land animals but not entirely unappetizing either.

She was in the middle of her second bite when he spoke up again, this time commenting on her eyes. Finishing the bite in her mouth while lifting her head, Yin stared at him strangely. Her eyes were beautiful? Was that...a compliment? She was not sure how she felt about it, and stayed quiet a moment after he apologized. "They're just eyes," she responded quietly, still not altogether sure of what was expected of her in this situation.
