where there was once nothing

[Dawali Amara]

The young one did not respond as Dawali had expected. Snorting in an arrogant way the child was somehow wishing to irritate the femme that was at their borders, and Dawali could not help but get irritated himself. Seriously, did this pup not have a better attitude than that? If he didn't have anything nice to say he shouldn't say anything at all. Well he had come here with no parent, which would explain a whole deal. But he should be showing a little more respect for adults. The male sighed mentally and settled his irritation. The child wasn't frank towards him, so the irritation wasn't really justified. But should he act with that attitude there towards any of the pack members so Dawali saw it, there would be reprimanding! Dawali had forgotten the femme for a second, but of course quickly remembered her again when she spoke only seconds after the child had spoken. It wasn't as if he had time enough to properly forget about her, and for it to be visible to her that he had, anyways. Turning his face towards her again, a chuckle escaped his throat and he shot a glance at the pup. If he could be childish, so could she, but the comment sort of hit him as well,and he didn't know what he thought about that. He was at a loss in general, really, because she was here at all. And pretty. Although, at the next flow of words that exited her mouth, he felt his interest really growing. So the beautiful femme provided useful information? How kind of her. Then, at least, he had something to say about anything, which would make it less likely that he'd make a fool out of himself. You know, that sounds like about the smartest thing any of us have said so far. Where does this other pack live? The thought of relieving himself of this chore was making him very light at heart indeed. It would be easy; ride a horse over there, trade for hay, ride back with it - problem solved! Oh the joy. The femme finished off with a comment that he could easily follow up on, and even get some of that pup-frustration off his chest, and suddenly most of that tension he felt in his body because she was present was trickling away slowly. Smiling, amused, he nodded and looked at her while speaking, yellow eyes seeking the greens in the middle of her warm-colored face. Oh don't worry about that, someone's gotta shovel their droppings. The last sentence was finished off with a wink, and he glanced again at the young one. No matter what reaction it might create in him, he couldn't escape that duty. No-one could, and he took it on himself when he joined their tribe.
