He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't hear Spring approach. Her voice from nearly right beside him startled him so that he leapt to his feet. His fur rose on his back, not in anger but in surprise, as he turned to gape at her with wide eyes. "Shit...You nearly gave me a heart attack." He panted, laughing already. Her comment about doing something together would have made his heart beat faster, if it wasn't already racing.

"I'd like to not die, mainly, if you'd allow me that." He joked as he sank back to his haunches beside her. "Were you sneaking on purpose, or am I just completely oblivious?" He shot her a small grin. "Don't answer that, not sure I'll like the answer." He smirked at her for a moment, before pulling his eyes away and finally addressing her question. 

"Whatever you like, Spring, now that I can breathe again. So long as you promise not to try to kill me anymore today, alright?" He was still grinning, he found the entire situation funny if not a tad embarrassing.
