For a long moment, the young warrior had thought he had gone unnoticed. However, it would not be as such for long. The pitch black boy would notice him, and slowly he would move closer. Echo would remain rigid, though his posture would behold curiosity at the approaching stranger, ears tilting forward in uncertainty and awe all in one. Never had he seen someone with only one color, though he was entirely intrigued. His tail would have stood erect...were it not a mere stump. Nonetheless, he looked the part. That is, until words met him. "Hello." Almost instantly the boy would nearly fly out of his pelt. He had noticed him! He didn't simply pretend he was not there, like a ghost in the night. No. He had actually noticed him! With eagerness hardly contained, the boy would slowly walk forward, wondering if this was some kind of trick. He was near pack lands after all, and who was he to know whether or not this boy was simply trying to lure him in? There was only one way to find out, and he would place his trust in this one time chance.
He would stop several feet from the border, body language indicating uncertainty as his honey amber eyes shyly glanced about for signs of attack. Though would soon return to the pitch black male, as if taking his eyes off of him anymore would cause him to disappear. "H-hello..." He would murmur shyly, an awkwardly tilted smile lifting a corner of his mouth, the feathers upon his left ear tugging gently at his fur where they were attached. He was deathly shy, though was unsure as to why at the moment. Was it because he was in the presence of this other boy? Or was it something else?
