King Elk Forest Like a Gilded Idol

Bronco's expression went from surprised to slightly ashamed, but he laughed and shook his head to admit his error. He'd thought that the greeting he'd received had been a name- but in the end, he was thankful at least that the word he'd interpreted as being Haoniyao's name simply meant "Ok," not something worse. "My bad. Nice to meet you, Haoniyao," He said. He stumbled over the male's name, struggling a bit with his enunciation. "Sorry...I'm not much good at pronunciation. Haoniyao?" He asked again, coming slightly closer to the male's pronunciation- but Bronco's own accent coupled with his general twang made it difficult for him to get it right. Still- he wanted to try, at least, so that he could properly pronounce his new friend's name. 

Once the pronunciation was sorted, he turned his attention to the elk, and shimmied his shoulders with delight. "This gonna be good. You eat as much as you want, bud...I think I'll take my share back to my pack. My Ma's gonna have pups any day now, an' she's been eating us all out of house an' home." He said, and stepped back, so Haoniyao could eat his fill, and decide what he wanted to have for himself.
