I Told You To Run

At first, she shouted in surprise, his ears quickly flying forward in shock. He moved himself back a few steps and bent his knees to look smaller than he really appeared, gaze resting gently onto the girl. Timid, much? She could have at least paid attention...after all, she could have had been in danger if he'd been some creep or perv. Come to think of it...she smelt awfully different. Like she was from a pack! Why wasn't she there, with her family? With her friends and pack mates? Could she have been exiled or chased off? The masked boy slowly fell back onto his rump while continuing to stare at her, frowning as she sent him the death glare. He didn't mean to scare her! "Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you," He muttered, ears slowly returning to their positions, flattened against his head. She tipped her head up and pointed her nose upward, shutting her eyes like some stubborn pup who didn't want to talk to their parent. He cocked his head to the side. "It's much too complicated for you to understand. Why should I share my problems with a complete stranger anyway?" She snapped at him, looking at him from her position.

She had a point. Strangers were dangerous, Ixionn knew that well. They could nag you, take you away as a slave, tear you from your family, etc. He had no reason to be nosy to her. Her problems weren't his business! Ixionn finally stood up straight, long legs extending completely to that he stood tall and proud. His ears lifted from his head and his tail moved away from in between his legs. This was not a threatening gesture, of course. Just a relaxed state...because he was getting tired of acting helpless. "You're right, it's not any of my business." He agreed, tongue rolling over his lips as he stood up and walked up to her again, only to sit back down and rest his gaze back onto her. "But it bothers me to see such a pretty young lady not feeling well." He confirmed with a silly, though all the same gentle smile. He wasn't implying anything...he just took off from his father, who always used to remind him, "Girls love being complimented," when the subject came up. Ixionn had always been charming, anyhow. Surly the young girl would appreciate it!

The man slowly turned his soft orange gaze to the scenery outside the cavern, a grin blossoming across his face as the moon almost instantly appeared alongside the many stars that littered the blue-purple sky. His tail waggled around a bit, face beaming, ears perked smoothly. "The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it? It makes me happy...well, it puts me in more of an amazed state. What about you? How do you feel about it?" It really did bother him to see a nice-looking girl so sad like this. Something really stressful must be going on...maybe she needed a friend. Ixionn needed some more friends! Drago was missing, his siblings were all scattered across Alacritia, Arian wasn't really his friend any more...ah, and he's been going through such a rough time! Maybe the two of them could talk about it, eventually, if they became friends or acquaintances.
