Kintla Flatlands Taking a Break

Koda soon found himself staring up at an unfamiliar face rather than the Plateau wolf he'd been expecting. "Um, hi there," he replied with a bit of uncertainty. He had no idea what this wolf had just said to him, but he assumed the stranger had offered a friendly greeting. Koda briefly wondered if the russet male would understand anything he'd just said. It was obvious from his unique accent that English was not his native language.

Koda decided that lazing about in the hot spring was not the kind of first impression he wanted to make. He climbed out of the pool and gave himself a quick shake, sending a shower of water droplets into the air. He noticed one splatter across the stranger's nose. "Oops, sorry," he said with a laugh. So much for making a good first impression.

"I'm Koda, pleased to meet you."
