Her demeanor when he asked who she was confused him. Frightened him almost, that perhaps he might have scared her somehow or even accidentally offended her. He wasn't a scary person, he wasn't someone to be feared. "I...I am Micha." She would tell him her name, though the way she said it made his head tilt. Was she..afraid? He watched in confusion as she seemed to back up towards the trees, Howl's hazel eyes watched in concern, paws subconsciously moving forward. "Wait! Don't go!" The words spilled from his mouth before he realized it. And almost immediately he would shut his maw. He seemed to feel embarrassed for a second, unsure as to why he as asking her not to go.
Deep inside perhaps, it was because he craved company. He craved to talk to another, someone who wouldn't judge him...Someone who held nothing against him for past things. Taking a deep breath, he looked at her calm and collected. Although she was alot different then him, and alot different then anyone he had ever seen before, he didn't care. He wasn't the best looking person in the world, nor the most beautiful. In fact, he always felt ugly...and it was because he held so much hatred in his heart for his past. But this girl was different, and it was evident that she was afraid. "Please, stay." He would plead to her once more.
