Gyrfalcon's Keep do small things in a great way

No signs of recognition. Zero. Not a flinch, not a blink, not a twitch of his lips at any of the words that he'd thought might trigger some sort of response. Oh. Bronco's ears turned back, and he felt his cheeks flush warm. Even though his brain told him that this was Elfie, he had absolutely no reason to think the guy was lying. He even spoke about his real parents with such conviction that Bronco began to feel like an idiot for trying so hard to convince him that he was actually another wolf. 

"Oh..." He said, and grinned sheepishly, his tail waving gently at his hocks. Yeah, he probably looked like a complete idiot how, trying to tell this guy that he was someone else. "I'm so sorry about all this, then- but so you know there's this guy, Elfie, who looks exactly like you," He said with a dry laugh that caught in his throat a bit. The memories he had of Elfie were still a bit sore- and their reunion likely would have been civil at best but...Now he had to try and start over with this-

"And...What did you say your name was again?"

He'd already forgotten it. He'd refused to believe that this could be anyone other than Elfie, so the name he had been given escaped him.
