Teo's song was rudely interrupted when a taller, pale dog stumbled out of the bushes. Ears flicking foward, Teo stopped playing, mixed-hued eyes alert and watching the other man with a mixture of alarm and danger.
Then the guy spoke his name and confusion was added into the mix of emotions.

Teo couldn't help but feel alarmed by his sudden presence; just earlier, he'd met another person from his homeland. What were the chances he'd meet two?
