fail wait is fail, I apologize ><;
Sometimes the man forgot that many here were not as well versed in the human world as he was. He was still fairly unused to living in such a wild environment. The majority of his life had been spent in cities, and not dead ones like Halifax was. They were cities that the canines had claimed and re-inhabited. Just as when the humans had lived in such places, crime was much higher in the cities than they were in more rural areas such as this. Yet still, it was here, and not in the city, that Onus had met his greatest enemy of all. How peculiar that seemed to him. What was that often used human saying? Ah yes, the world worked in mysterious ways. He didn't buy into that way of thinking completely, but at times that was certainly true.
His gaze turned back to the oddly iridescent lake. While he new the basics about bacterium, he did not know the specifics of what types were particularly harmful and which were not. And he had never heard of any that made bodies of water look like that. "Hrm," he grunted, mulling the idea over. "Not certain. Could be fine. But probably good to stay on safe side and not." The coyote had not noticed any dead animals laying around, so maybe it was fine. But then again, he really hadn't seen any animals at all. Maybe the lesser beasts had figured out that the water wasn't for drinking and had abandoned the area. It was impossible to say for sure.
For as little as was being said between the two of them, Onus was enjoying this encounter more than most. While she might have many questions about his appearance running inside her head, she wasn't blurting them out and showering him with them. That was the thing that annoyed him most about the majority of the general population. They didn't know when to keep their mouths shut. This woman obviously did and he respected her for that. It was probably for these reasons that when she introduced herself that he was willing to respond to that introduction with his own name. "Onus." The times he gave his name to another were few and far between. Most he did not find worthy of that information. His reasons for giving it out seemed to change with each occasion, but in his mind Kaena had earned that piece of information about him.
