Duck Lake What's this, what's this?

HUGE apology, oh my god. ∑(ﾟﾛﾟ〃) I've left this thread sitting around for too long. @Zoratto

Soon after, the boy received an answer to his silent question, which brought a wave of delight over him. The answer itself was not what brought him joy, as it was disappointing, but expected, that the other lived elsewhere. He grew excited, however, over the fact that his inquiry had been understood. That he could speak to the other without opening his mouth, and comprehend any responses given. It was, truth be told, quite strange to him, as speaking without words had never been something he'd needed to do. His mother had made sure he knew English to avoid such situations, but it'd only just now dawned on him that not everyone knew it. Taking all those he'd met into consideration, it certainly seemed to be the most common tongue, but even the most common of things were not known by all. Unfortunate, really, but meeting the other boy had quickly taught Alastor that words were not always needed. As they say, actions speak louder than words, and he would make sure to put that saying to good use.

Giving a soft 'hm' to acknowledge he'd understood the other, the Greek then began thinking of a way to ask another question. As an idea settled in his mind, he looked to his paws and, using his tail, did his best to motion to himself. "Alastor," the boy stated, raising his gaze to meet Zoratto's as he finished. With his nose, he pointed to the lupine, then gave a gentle tilt of his head to try and ensure that his query would be easily deciphered. It was difficult, but he hoped it would be well worth it. Perhaps he could even gain the other's trust, and then he'd possess another friend within the odd land of Teekon.
