Beady amber eyes watched as Boone's tail stirred, but it was the contorted grin that finally won over the heart of the boy. Matteo hesitantly wagged his tail in response, though his haunches remained stiff.
The mention of Colt sends the hairs on the back of his neck bristling. "Something like that," he snorts. He still didn't fully trust this guy, but at least it seemed like he wasn't part of the gang. Shuffling his paws, he plopped himself down in front of Boone and let out a big sigh. For the first time since crossing the river, he'd begun to think with his head instead of the feelings that weighed on his little heart.
Even if he did find Colt, what then? And what about his family? Could he be putting them in danger? "Jus'- don't tell anyone I'm here, alright?" he gazes up at the cowboy, "Isuel would worry an' Ines-" He lets out a shaky breath.
The mention of food was a welcome distraction - he nods stiffly. "I could eat an entire river of fish right now."
