Change of Pace

It was true that the lightning boy could be quite oblivious despite how quick his mind was. Maybe it was just that he wasn't too observant, or that he really didn't notice much because he was seeing everything. Which gave the stranger girl the best opportunity to ever startle the high energy elementas, which is something that rarely ever happened. He had been looking in the distance, searching for any sign that she may have bolted from this place after he startled her when she materialized out of the soft snow. His shoulders instantly tensed up, the fur lining bunching to protect his back as he yelped and spun to face her. His face was a sight to behold, storm colored eyes so wide as he stared at her, assessing the danger and mouth hung open in shock. The crisp lines of his mature features screamed surprise as he looked at her from top to bottom. How had he missed her there?? How was it possible for him to not see her in the snow, when her fur was so dark, her eyes so bright, her scent so alluring.

He quickly shook form his shock with a literal shake of his head, laughter shaking through his strong but agile form. "Twenty points! You got me!" He laughed fully, goodnaturedly. It was like him in every way to accept everything without holding back, and he knew instantly that they would be fast friends if her prank was anything to go off of. "That was quite good, little lady, I commend you on your silence!" He laughed, tilting his head to reguard her fully now that the shock had dissipated. He assessed her as a stranger, someone that could entertain him and possibly create a lasting bond with, but if only he knew of her position, he may have treated her with more respect and carefulness than he did now. Lifting a paw he reached out to her, pawing at the air with a gentle smile. "I'm deeply sorry for surprising you, however. You aren't hurt, are you?"
