After Dhiate had enough water to sate him, or rather, when he couldn't drink anymore, he stood panting in the water. His black tipped ears pricked forward, and his bloodshot eyes widened. His head jerked up and he looked into the sapphire eyes of a female. Something in the back of his head told him that he should be attracted, for she was a rather pretty wolf, but he wasn't. He just felt confusion. How should he act?
Water dripped from his chin as he just stared, dumbfounded. In truth, the female in front of him wasn't so different from he. They both were pale-well supposed to be-and had blue-sort of-eyes. He was only and inch taller than her, but was slightly smaller in build than she. She was slightly older, but not by much. So why was he so unnerved by her? Because he didn't know what to do. He had never really dealt with females. In his pack, males and females had usually been separated for different training.
His breath shuddered as he realized he should answer. But could he? He opened his mouth and tried, but nothing came out but a hoarse cough. A painful, hoarse cough that set off a series of painful hoarse coughs. He stained the stream in front of him black with ash and saliva. So did he need help? Yes. Would he accept it? Never. His pride wouldn't allow it.
His pale gray blue eyes lowered in shame and his ears pushed back. He didn't want this to happen. Didn't want to seem so weak in front of the girl, in front of anyone.
