Getting Around... NOT LIKE THAT!
He stood in silence while waiting for Arian to answer, hopefully not take offense to what he said. Deivad had come across a crippled wolf before, however he was much older than the two and had quite an attitude on him, he just found clever ways to get around obstacles. Plus, he had no idea if something happened to the female's leg just before approaching him or if it was from some time ago, so maybe she would cut him some slack since he didn't outright say she was useless and to get out of his way... not that he would ever say such a thing to anyone.
To show him just how capable she was he watched as she began to move around him, able to walk perfectly fine. It didn't surprised him too much nor did it really make him feel bad for saying such a thing, it was only a correction for his statement, and if they were going to meet again he would keep it in mind. And at last she spoke, saying how he shouldn't be intimidated and to think of her as a regular ol' wolf, her pack being communal, everyone having a voice. That was a good thing, earning a nod from the male. It wasn't often you were able to have a voice in a group or full pack, the leaders ruling with an iron fist. Obey or be exiled.
When it came to her leg however, she stated she was okay as ever and explaining that it had been crippled last year but she has learned to move with the remaining three, being just as strong as any other wolf out there. Now, Deivad knew that was a lie, you could try as much and as hard as you possibly could but you would never be back to one hundred percent. It was just a fact, but he wouldn't be one to voice that. ”I see, well that's good that you're still keeping yourself active so that it gets back to its previous state. Gotta work them muscles to stay strong!” He spoke in a rather cheery mood, flashing the girl a grin and giving a wink her way.
It was then she asked about his name, the man mentally face-palming at realizing he hadn't gave it to her. ”Apologies, the name's Deivad. Just a nomad exploring and mapping new land.” He had straightened himself out, tail and head raised and stance squared, a foreleg folding and head lowering in a bow to the female before rising again. |
