Shadewood something immutable, an immovable destiny we could never alter

Damn. He'd been spotted. The boy rose from his spot and moved towards him a few steps before stopping and sitting, Z watching warily the whole time. Uh, hi, he replied. He glanced around again, hoping the kid's parents would come save him from this interaction, but no one came. Z knew nothing about pups or what they should and shouldnt be doing. He most definitely had no idea what to say to them. There were some obvious things, like he probably shouldn't cuss or encourage him to jump off a cliff or anything, but aside from that, Zodiac was pretty inept at dealing with these guys. 

Uh, what were you looking at? he asked, assuming the the pup could understand him. It didn't hurt to start with the obvious, right?
