Mason might have been disappointed any other time, but the happiness he experienced from this meeting far outweighed any disappointment he might have felt. Beside that, Mason was used to being told no in one form or another. He was not a particularly headstrong boy, but he had learned that in order to get one's way, one had to be the toughest, strongest, most powerful creature in any given situation. He did not think of either Gabriel or Kaena was a physical threat or barrier, but the logic remained the same. When he had first tried to find food on his own, he had made the mistake of trying to pick at a carcass that had had flies buzzing around it. Needless to say, he had been chased away by another loner. The principle remained the same.
Plus the sandy colored boy already thought of the woman, Kaena, to be experienced and wise. He would listen to her critically and intensely. Although they had only known each other for the short space of time, he was already ready to follow her to the ends of the earth. Her kindness had secured his loyalty, and he already felt extremely drawn and attached to this woman. What secrets did she house behind that scarred visage? What laid within her mind? He wanted to know everything.
He saw that Gabriel was taking special care to let him keep up, and Mason discreetly watched the man's paw prints. Thinking he was being smooth, he stretched his legs out ridiculously so that he did not leave his own paw prints. When he saw that Kaena was also trekking nearby, he glanced to make sure he wasn't being watched and leapt to also stay in her tracks. "What is a fishing?" he intoned.
