Bramblepoint Self-appraisal

His chuff seemed to catch the stranger off guard, and he did a weird twist, causing Dash's ears to perk in  interest and his eyes to widen in surprise. He hadn't meant to startle the other male, but it seemed that's exactly what he did. He steady himself, though, and padded over, his body language telling Dash he was neutral in this meeting. Dash's tail hung behind his back legs and his ears folded softly on his head, expressing he was a little more submissive. It was obvious he was not here to start any trouble.

His ears perked again at the tone of the other male, who came off a little hostile at that point. Dash took a few steps back, in case the male had changed his mind about being neutral. But, then, he introduced himself as being from Silvertip Mountain. Dash wasn't sure why he mention who his father was. Was Dash supposed to know of him? The other male hadn't even said his own name. I'm Dash, he responded. From Moonspear.
