Noss's ears flicked to the sound of the voice, eyes following immediately after. The woman who it had come from was a willowy thing--barely any meat on her. A dog? Noss wondered, looking at her. He had never seen a breed with such fur or features and...no ears? Noss wondered why she had found him--followed? happened upon?--but snorted as his first response to her question. By nature he did not do well with females; he was convinced that the creatures were fragile and easy to break, although he had met a few exceptional ones that defied this belief, such as his childhood friend, Naka. But the main reason he couldn't deal with them was because of their temperament; most who he had met cried easily or changed moods faster than the winds changed directions, and Noss had a horrible time with tears. He just didn't know how to handle it at all. But this female tried to exude confidence, even if her scent said otherwise. On the other hand, he had to try and make friends with his new pack, not create enemies. With a sigh he turned his head to her and waved the stick up and down.
"Sharpening it," he said bluntly, as if it could've been anything else. Regardless of what Noss wanted to do, his personality was not going to change overnight, either. The less he knew someone, the less words he felt comfortable using. He held true to his ideal of the circle of individuals who were under his protection and who he allowed to know his thoughts and emotions; this, too, would not change. Curiosity got the better of him for his next question, never mind that it was rude. Noss could probably described as an overall cocky, stoic warrior anyway, although it was apparent that others thought his brand of honor and respect old-fashioned and egotistic to begin with. "Don't have any ears?" he asked with a gesture to her head.
Warrior walks. "Warrior talks." Warrior thinks.
