Moonspear there's no one to bother me, except

Katmai had gotten a bit of a rundown on The Dog, but he was still shocked when he finally laid eyes on the creature. It was the fluff, mainly. For a moment, the sheer amount of it caused him to overlook how small the other canine was — and then they were face to face, and Katmai marveled at that, too.

The dog's body language was very friendly, but very forward, too. Katmai couldn't help but stiffen, even as his flagging tail gave a friendly wave.

"Yes — hello, Cosmo," he said, instead of, your voice matches your face or, so that is what a dog looks like. He tried to see something of his mother in the dog, but aside from the slightly boxy shape they shared, the two were very little alike. "Welcome to Dawnspear — it is nice to finally meet you face to face."

And he meant it, despite the slight sense of uncanny valley the dog gave him. Giving him a good circle and sniff helped a little. The dog carried a strange smell, but not one that triggered either predatory or defensive instincts in him. It was a very calm, decidedly neutral scent. Familial, when mixed with Kindle's.

"Are you starting to feel like a wolf, yet?" he asked, still not quite sure how to talk to him.
