Building Courage

Walk | Talk | Think Huh. He must have said something funny. The girl laughed a little as if to herself when he spoke, and though it made him self conscious - he had not been trying to be funny after all - he merely lowered his yellow eyes and shuffled a little in place, his tan ears splaying slightly atop his head. Well, at least it was not the worst possible first impression he could have made. He could have scared her - although he had absolutely no idea how he might have managed that - or angered her. That, however, seemed much more feasible. Miksa often considered himself too quiet over all, too timid and uncertain about everything. Surely that quality was bound to get on someone's nerves. But thankfully not this girl's. She smiled at him, her whole demeanor friendly and lively, and there was a welcoming quality about her that made the young wolf feel almost at ease and less self conscious than her initial giggles had. As it was, she was not from these parts and was looking for someone to give her a guided tour. Miksa hardly felt qualified for such a task in this particular area. If it had been within Glaciem's borders, he might have considered it and could likely have winged it without too much issue. But here? She was probably more likely to find something interesting on her own than with him taking the reigns. The offer she posed of a distraction was considerably tempting though. Going back home meant giving in and finally telling Odette what it was he wished to pursue, or at least in theory. He was such a chicken at times, he could not even count on his own resolve to go through with it, even now. The girl spoke of a cave nearby, a further distraction by which he could keep himself, and her, occupied, and though it sounded a little iffy he knew she was right about exploring the place alone. "Where is it?" he asked, seeking clarification as he finally moved, drawing himself slowly closer to her as a means of not only agreeing without words to join her on this little adventure she had planned but also to better see this cave she had spoken of. |
