The question wasn't answered, and Nikai was taken aback when instead of an honest answer he received a retort that seemed designed only to tell him off because he wasn't interested in answering the question. Nikai wasn't very used to situations like these, having been around mostly honest wolves most of his life. He felt a little nervous suddenly, thinking back to Keoni. What if she'd gotten hurt because she thought she could trust a harmless stranger and then they'd attacked? He felt vulnerable in the water and started making his way to the shore, making sure to keep space between himself and the stranger.

In all of this he'd forgotten all about answering the question, a thing he only realised when the wolf started to speak again and continued to be amicable again, then adding an introduction. Nikai had just come out of the water and he smiled a sheepish half-smile, clearly feeling a little nervous, as he said, "It's nice to meet you." There was a brief pause as he thought of what to do or say next. He then wondered out loud, trying his hand at a question again, "What are you doing here?" A variation to the last question, but still different.
