silence will fall

The large brown wolf gave a nod as he listened to her introduce herself as Hialeah, and then noted that he could call her Hia. He gave a nod and then searched for words, wondering how to respond to such an introduction. She also had asked if he was from around here and, seeing as he was not, Dai knew just how to answer, but he wasn't sure how to word it, as always.

"I like your name," he said finally with a twitch of his tail, yellow eyes blinking once at the pale fae as he spoke the words. Dai shifted his position slightly, tail curling around his back paws. "And... I'm not from... here," he said, looking down as if to say that he did not live on the island. He had no idea where he lived, actually. Dai slept somewhere different every day and spent the daylight hours traveling. "What about... you?" he asked, returning every question she shot at him with quiet words.
