Aleo's ears twitched as the sound of approaching footfalls came his way. A voice accompanied the sounds of padding feet and the male looked up. He listened and put the small piece of charcoal down, a ghost of a smile threatening to cross his lips. Aleo was surprised that someone had answered his call and his tail thumped the ground contentedly. "Hello. I'm not lost, and yes I am enjoying your lands, they are well decorated with wildflowers. The real reason I have come to your borders is that I am seeking a good home." After his small speech, he smiled and wagged his tail gently at the male standing before him. He knew that Ichika was a friendly people and he respected them for that. His smile faltered and his ears pinned against his skull as he started to tell the next and more unpleasant part.
"Although I almost deserve to be turned away. I took the life of another soul in the past, and not so long ago did I crippled and left a canine handicapped. I was protecting my family and I failed sorely." He turned his purple eyes back up to the man before him and sighed. Aleo was never a violent soul, he didn't like to kill for pleasure and for sport, he wanted to protect his family from cold-hearted souls wanting to go out and hurt someone. "A-all I want is forgiveness for my actions, that someone won't judge me for past deeds." The boy's tail stopped waving and he hoped that the man wouldn't jugde him.
