The sun beamed down on him, but seemed to lack some of its usual burn and prowess. It was cooler today than it had been as if nature was apologizing for its aggressive stance on the earthquake that had shook the land. He moved back into the trees, his thick brown coat brushing against trees as he moved into the shadows. His thick coat wasn't much useful for keeping him cool, though he hoped it would adapt to the hot temperatures the longer he stayed here. He hadn't met anyone but Chrysanthe and Erani of course, and he hoped to rectify that. He would move through the shadows of the trees hoping to bump into someone else that was seeking a break from the aggravating heat. There wasn't much more time left in the abnormally hot day, before the sun would set and the cooler temperatures would take over. He just had to wait out the afternoon heat.
The forest here was deep, and soon he stumbled across a small stream that had all but dried up due to the heat. Casting it a curious look, he moved towards it, pausing on the bank, his blue eyes studying the remnants of what it once was. He could see some rocks littering the dirt, and he wondered where the water had hailed from. Lifting his head, he stared off in the direction of the stream, his face thoughtful as he contemplated following it, to a better source of water.

In the sweltering heat he was miserable. His thick coat made the heat exhausting, and briefly he wished that Valhalla was more arctic. His internal grumblings would be interrupted by a voice, and his head would sharply turn towards the source of the sound. Light blue eyes would rest upon a multi-colored she-wolf, whose coat was unlike anything he'd ever seen. She spoke, her tone friendly, and he returned her smile, as he studied her for a few moments. She was quite a bit younger than he, and he would be that she was still growing. He chuckled at her words, the sound rumbling deep within his chest. "Good afternoon to you as well." He greeted her kindly, his body relaxed. Casting a frustrated glance at the stream he nodded at her grumbly words. "I'd prayed this stream hadn't been parched from the heat, it seems my prayers weren't answered." He huffed slightly, though a slight smile pulled at his jaws, he had no reason to grump at the girl.
He looked at her rather stupidly, wondering what to say next, and found himself again cursing himself for being so socially awkward. "I'm sorry, I don't believe I've met you." Of course I haven't, I've been too busy being antisocial, he thought. "My name is Valerius Adravendi. I just recently arrived here, so I haven't really met anyone." He would introduce himself and explain awkwardly.
