Turning the book away from himself with an only slightly distraught expression, he tried to pull a smile onto his face to greet the stranger. The result proved to be very unconvincing and he let most of it fall from his face, contending with a friendly smirk and a raised hand. The simple fact that a canine had come up to him at all had astounded him, his obvious ignorance he felt would be a deterrence to any of the wolves present, all of which he perceived to be well educated. This wolf seemed very smart, in all ways, especially in the way she carried herself. The thought made him miserable but he masked his emotion well behind his odd eyes.
"Hello," he said meekly, unintentionally bobbing his head. "Helios Kowl, it's nice to meet you." The statement itself was weak and left the conversation openhanded. Helios usually spent his days confidently, head raised and looking challenge dead in the eyes and taking it on. Though, now faced with something he wasn't comfortable with the nervous corners of his frayed personality began to show through and he became a shadow of his true self. The red merle wished that he could just read and be done with it, he had a will power but was unsure of where to start. Sensing the silence between, he gestured vaguely towards the book that lay open beside him. "Just, uh, reading."
