The aroma of the flora made it difficult to tell if he was alone or not, but more often than not, Harvey assumed the former; though he'd met many people in the ruined city of Halifax plenty of times, there was something usually telling the aussie dog that he lacked threats, and should continue on to find company if that was what he wished. He sometimes wondered how many opportunities and acquaintances he'd missed simply walking past them because he didn't take the effort to seek out the experience. He wanted to see the area and meet people along the way, but that was too general; instead of focusing on the smaller details, he was rushing through to get the most of his reborn life as if he'd have to repeat the process of shipping himself off to yet another land to start with a clean slate.
No, he was doing well, and he wouldn't need to run. If the situation got sticky, he'd have to live with it. Running was for cowards, and once was plenty enough for the male. No, he was here to stay, and hopefully for good.
Distracted, he hadn't noticed the presence of another being, so the sudden calling of his name startled him outright.
He hated being frightened.
A low growl quickly found an escape through his maw, but after realizing the source of the greeting, Harvey grew ashamed of his anger. He'd lashed out before, during his initial meeting with Itzal. He'd gone to the point of streaming out insults and showing his brutish side, and here he was again, seconds from breaking his gentlemanly facade.
It was especially embarrassing that he already knew and was quite friendly before with Unatsi... So, in a rather pathetic attempt to cover his growl by clearing his throat, the cockney male let a soft smile grow.
Oh, uhm... 'Ey, mate! His chuckle was sheepish and shakey. I'm such a bloo'y twit! Harvey Butler cursed himself internally, his appearance still showing his typically warm grin.
The Brit tried to force himself to relax. Ya startled me, ya did. Harv admitted with another nervous laugh. ...Fancy seein' you 'ere.
