Otter Creek Conflict at Night

Fine by me~

Rayder was slightly taken aback by the male trying to lighten the mood, ears perking and eyes widen a small amount. He considered whether or not he should react bitterly to this to protect himself. The male didn't want friends, people to care for when he had the time. He didn't want this to turn into a carefree sibling rivalry. For he thought this would leave him open to betrayal, rejection, hurt -- all of those things that he was paranoid of.

He spaced out a little, distracted by his thoughts, until the other had to shake the water off of his pelt as the rain had stopped hitting their coats. Laughing a little, he closed one eye for a moment to protect it from the tiny splashes of the tasteless liquid. "Eh, a little water never hurt anyone." He responded playfully, not bothered by it. The Kappa decided he would just ignore his conflicting thoughts for now, as they troubled him and he did not like the bad feeling it put in his chest. "The name's Rayder."
