The boy did not appear as easygoing as Aningan; he seemed skeptical, causing the young leader to wonder about him. Was he fitting in well? Was he greeting others? He wasn’t sure if asking such things would be taken well, so he bit back the flow of questions for the time being. Instead, he flashed a smile and wagged his tail, putting on the friendliest of faces that he was capable of with his own awkwardness.

“What are you up to?” he asked, eager to get them both to relax. Truthfully, he knew very little about the boy, aside from his name and their shared heritage; they were both of northern blood, able to speak—or partially speak—in a tongue that so few knew in these lands. It made him curious, more than anything, wondering from where Tuvak came. He wanted to know more, as he was more interested in the other male than he’d be in anyone else for some time now. There was so much to ask, almost too much, and yet the only other question to leave his mouth was: “Do you want to walk with me?”

He was on a roll.
