he was left alone with his thoughts for a time, the silence eating him away piece by piece until the soft patter of footsteps was heard off in the distance. he sniffled up what beads of mucus dripped from his irritated nose, eventually lifting a paw to wipe away the rest as to not appear as disheartened as he felt. 

with snot covered paw placed back to the ground, he glanced around to try and spot the body he'd heard approaching, only there was no one there. baby blues squinted as his focus stretched past the borders and off towards where he could have swore he heard the noise from. 

ACROO!

guard hairs shot into defensive spikes as he launched himself clear off the ground in fright. upon paws landing firmly back on the ground, he swiveled himself around to catch the familiar approaching sight of his porcelain sister and her gift. what initial fear seeped in him was beginning to dissipate just as the unfamiliar voice of a stranger reached him. 

he turned, maggak now close enough to drop her gift before him, but he paid it no mind. his attention was fixated on the foreign figure of a body he did not recognize. unlike his pale counterpart, acrux did not immediately flag the strange looking...wolf? as a threat. so many came from the lands beyond that the boy simply thought this stranger was a welcomed visitor just like the rest. 

it was only at the shout of intruder that he looked upon the peculiar canine in a different light. though he held an air of caution around him, he was not overtaken with the innate instinct to chase the stranger from his home. so the boy simply remained where he was, silent, but ready to fight or flee should the situation call for it.
