Best days are still ahead of us.

August would settle back onto his haunches, and the other russet boy would mirror his actions. Luxurious tail would flicker occasionally, noticing the happy thumping noise against hollow stone. This was a friendly meeting, fortunately. Nothing like the brawl that had occurred that day near the lake. Still, the other male seemed to bring it up in a light manner. Dayton set free an easy laugh. "My bruises are healing just fine, thanks for asking, though I have had quite the headache recently." The smaller brute swung his ears once to gesture at his skull. He wasn't lying about the pain, after all. It was still there. "You fought very well, sir, though if I didn't know any better I would say you had taken it easy on me." Some part of his mind wanted to be offended by this. As if his size made him weaker in comparison. But he had to accept that this was true, as was the fact that August was probably more experienced in fighting. But Dayton would learn. That had been the entire purpose of their spar. To learn, and to improve. So the smile remained, unwavering on his dark lips. The other male then made another comment, agreeing with the beauty of the waterfall. He voiced his longing for his old home, and then his expression became one of sadness. Even the fake smile he tried to put on fell through like a wisp of smoke. There and gone again. Dayton frowned. It looked so familiar. Feeling broken on the inside and smiling for the world. But that smile... it was never truly genuine, was it? He stood for a moment, only to move a bit closer to August. He was still a polite distance away, of course, but what he was about to say wasn't meant to be shouted. The crashing roar of the water would make conversation difficult from a distance. So he came to sit a mere foot away, friendly concern dancing in his ochre eyes. "You seem a bit upset, good sir. Do you miss your home?" Just a question with an obvious answer, of course. It was practically rhetorical. He just wanted to get the other wolf talking if possible. Dayton had learned from experience that opening up could help one work through their problems. |
