Shadewood two hearts, too hard

This kid didn't trust him. Which, honestly, he couldn't exactly blame him. But how was he to convince a strange child that he wasn't here to cause him harm?
He softens, bringing himself a bit lower to the ground with a gentle sway of his tail. The little guy's display of toughness brings his ears down against his skull as he tries to crack a smile. I reckon you're tryna get outta dodge before Colt pulls his head out of his ass and realizes you ran off, he quirks an eyebrow knowingly. me too, kid.
He stays put, decidedly, not quite ready to sit, but not wanting to approach or start walking away under the assumption he'd follow. You hungry? You look it.
