YOU BEETCH. D;
It appeared that this creature was not particularly anti-social, and Kian was pleased. His greeting was met with polite enthusiasm, to which the dog returned with a gracious smile. To an extent he always anticipated less-than-cordial reactions to his presence, though he couldn’t help always hoping for more. Dublin had its wolves and its unkindly generalizations just as any other city on the planet, so the canine didn’t expect this place to be any different. He’d been bred from wolves by humans into an abomination used as nothing more than a personal servant to their purposes. Though he was luckier than certain breeds that had more than likely already died out—dogs that couldn’t even birth their own children, take care of themselves, or breath properly—he still held the mark of humans all over his entire person, even if the two-legged apes were long extinct.
Dogs were supposed to be stupider than wolves, behaving like needy, inappropriate puppies even after they’d physically matured. He knew all of this, and he chose to ignore it. Perhaps his breed did have something to do with his personality, but that didn’t make up all that he was in his entirety. This wolf had an accent just as peculiar as his own, and the dog’s own tail waved slightly on the sand beside him. “Russo” hinted at Russian origins, but of course he couldn’t be sure without further knowledge. A name was only a name, after all, and he was no expert on Russia and its accent or its people.
“Evenin’, Rurik Russo,” he tested, trying the name on his tongue. “I’m Kian Tadhg, if ye wan’ed t’know,” the dog returned, offering up his full name as the stranger had done only moments before. “I’s too fine a nigh’ nae t’spend it on the beach, yeah?” he said, allowing a coy smile to cross his lips. “Wi’h a name like Russo I can only assume yer Russian, yeah?” he asked, attempting to gain finality to his possible perception of the foreign wolf.
