The world is never silent. Not truly. There are always the sounds of the wind gently guiding the world where it needs to be. There is always the sounds of creatures scurrying around. Even the smallest animals that linger in the dirt can be heard if one really listens. The water is generally still on this night, but it is never completely still. As Yojimbo takes in the night, through sound, scent, and feeling, he eventually learns to notice the slight changes in water.

Water is connected to itself, even stretches away. Rivers connect one place to another, and water acts as one with itself. Yes, Yojimbo can feel the slight vibrations, the small waves that travel from far distances, only to meet their end by bouncing off of his immersed legs. There are many things that could cause these waves, and his mind can only contemplate on all the possibilities. He is taken with all the subtle feelings and sensations though, so taken that time seems to pause in place until a distant sound calls him out of his meditative state.

Slowly his blue eyes open once again. It is the sound of someone very young, and so very small. He remains calm and collected as his dignified visage turns in Cae's direction. He blinks, taking in the small form of the puppy. Yojimbo knew this was not the time for a puppy to be venturing out alone. It is that time between night and morning, a time so delicate and vital. Danger in the form of predators lurk when the sun begins to rise, and Yojimbo was a hearty enough male to not have to worry too much. But a pup? He was concerned for the boy. Initially, his blue eyes lifted to view the landscape, searching for any sign of another. His nares taste the air again, searching but unable to find anything in particular. Young had to be protected and cherished.

Yojimbo's rather somber face turned down towards Cae, a small smile working its way onto his face. The male of dark chocolate sky takes carefule, wet steps towards the young male. His ears were laid back slightly, his head lowering slightly to not intimidate the boy. His initial yap was friendly, and Yojimbo would remain friendly with him as well. As he comes upon the boy, he lets his nose take in his scent. It is dull now, but it was undeniable. This was a puppy from Iromar. He would not let this hinder his actions of kindness towards the young boy. Yojimbo just knew that there may be someone coming to get him soon, and they might not like the third-highest ranked Diveen wolf hanging around their young. Yojimbo let his dark tail wave in the warm summer night air.

"For one so young, you are far from your home. Why is it you come to me, when night and day meet?" he says gently, his voice warm and welcoming, deep and thoughtful. His head very, very slightly turns, face serious and strong as he takes in the little form of Cae. He notices the eyes, mis-matched and it is a most curious thing. A most interesting thing indeed. It was not something Yojimbo saw often, and already this young boy was rather unique.
