Ah.

Thankfully, she decided to break the silence with useful information. His drooping ears rose once again to pick up her voice among the other noises around, like the rustling foliage, finding it all rather distracting. How was anyone meant to put up with all of this? With an annoyed look, he dragged a paw over the side of his head as if he were meaning to pull the sounds out. Where was the peace? How was he meant to go about life like this?

Huffing, Southeast scooched a little closer, leaning forward. I’m.. Speaking a little louder, the boy lifted his chin. Southeast to the Path of Eternity..! Then followed with, Or.. Of the Path to Eternity.. Truthfully, he did not remember which was correct. He only ever really focused on the ‘Southeast’ part. Woofing another raspy response, he spoke softly to keep from ruining his voice entirely. What is that? The boy had never once in his LIFE ever heard of an oh-sheen, but Miss Daiyu seemed to be very knowledgeable of the area they were in. Maybe she could tell him where Southeast was?

Tip-tapping his paws on short grass, he looked around to see if he could spot the oh-sheen, but found it a rather difficult task indeed. Shaking his head, the young wolf finally answered to the best of his ability. I don’t think so. Me and my -Khhf!- family got seal’t up in a cave and we lived there, but I never saw what was.. He knew the word. He knew it! Southeast had JUST been thinking of it. Brow creased, head tilted, he smacked the ground in triumph. Outside! I never -akhhuf khuff- saw what was outside, Miss Daiyu.. And we could not leave any-way, so I could not check. He hoped that was a good response for her. She could maybe use that information to tell him EXACTLY what was going on! She must have been very smart, after all.
