Che bella!
He further studied the quiet stranger as he stood in the doorway. Clothed in shorts and, interestingly, a collar, curled up like he was trying to keep the world out. White fur left him looking almost ghostly in the dim light of the cabin. Icy eyes met the stranger’s two-toned gaze as he looked up, following his gaze to one of the empty beds. Then there was a nod, and that was that. Dresden had wanted peace and quiet, and it looked like he quite literally got it. “Much appreciated,” he said, nodding back in thanks.
Dresden made his way to the indicated bed, dropping his bag onto the floor beneath it. He slipped out of the soaked coat, folding it half-heartedly before tossing it on top of the bag. Then with a sigh, he settled himself onto the edge of the bed. His gaze drifted about the room for a moment, finding this cabin to be just as uninteresting as all the others. Idly, he noted that there was another scent lingering about the room, one that differed slightly from the stranger in the corner. It looked like Mr. Silence here wasn’t alone after all. He wondered where New Bunkmate #2 might have wandered off to. The warrior shrugged the thought away and pushed himself farther onto the bed. He sat up, leaning against the cabin wall with legs stretched out across the bed. He folded his hands across his stomach and closed his eyes. There it was, sweet silence, save for the white noise of the storm.
There was another sound, however, one that the husky nearly missed. Quiet whispers. Eyelids slid back open and icy blue eyes turned toward the whispering figure. “You say something?” The question was tossed casually into the still air. Hell, he couldn’t deny that he was curious about whatever the male could be mumbling about, but he wasn’t about to outright admit that. The husky male wouldn’t have been surprised if he was answered with silence. His new bunkmate didn’t seem all that talkative, though the warrior couldn’t hazard a guess as to why, aside from the possibility that he didn’t understand him at all. But he seemed to understand him well enough when he came knocking at the door. He could just feel free to ignore the question if he wanted. If he took offense to it, though, Dresden would have to wonder why he’d even let him stay in here in the first place.
