Dark pillars brought the titan throughout the cave; even now, he was quite unsure as to what he came down here for. Perhaps it was because he found solace in the darkness, but he still wasn’t able to tell himself. Not even moments later after these thoughts washed over him, Kylo paused, auds swiveling back and forth. A faint sound, barely audible, came to his ears. Perhaps the sound of a mouse’s claws scrabbling against the stone… or perhaps the pawsteps of a stealthy wolf. For others, the ambush perhaps would’ve worked. Kylo, however, was deeply focused, and was knowledgeable enough to know that any wolf should always be aware in settings such as this. Bigger, darker creatures could lurk in the darkness, and the varg was very well aware that he’d have to keep all of his senses focused on avoiding an attack.
However, he seemed to fail as both negative and positive thoughts bounced throughout his head, almost like bees buzzing in their hive. The brute’s midnight-black hair stood on end as he became painfully aware of a presence behind him. Whipping around, Kylo barely managed to avoid a sharp rock protruding from the wall of the cave. ”Who are you? What are you doing so deep in these caves?” The voice that protrude the soft words was high-pitched; practically the only creature that contained vocals that high was a vixen. The titan’s magnificent cobalt eyes identified the femme’s coat to be polar opposite of his; pure white to contrast his midnight-black. How ironic, Kylo thought to himself. Muscles twitched underneath the brute’s pelt, ready to defend himself if the lass decided to attack him. Although, she was considerably smaller than him, and it seemed unlikely that she would make a move. A soft, guttural sound escaped through her maw, and the varg slightly rocked backwards. Had he done something to offend her? She’d only arrived seconds before; perhaps this was her territory? He couldn’t help but notice that her frame shifted back and forth, almost as if she was weary of him… did Kylo remind her of someone else? He decided that he had not offended her purposely, but memories were flooding back into her. He was positive that he’d never come across a vixen such as her. In fact, the titan couldn’t recollect ever interacting with a wolf adorning such an angelic color.
”I am known by the name of Kylo; Kylo Ren.” He paused for a moment, thinking over how he would respond to her question. ”My mind has been bothered by many thoughts lately. I came here seeking solace and peace in the darkness,” The words that came from his maw were sincere. Since she didn’t seem that threatening, he had little reason to lie. However, he remained on his guard, because as he’d learned many times throughout his lifetime, appearance matters very little. For all he knew, this vixen could be a highly-trained assassin. ”Forgive me, for I am new to these lands, but if these caverns are not for the public, I did not know. As for yourself, I ask the same question. What brings a lass such as you into such deep places? Many dangerous creatures slink about,” he murmured with the tiniest smirk at the end. Kylo trotted towards the wall to his right, not advancing towards the femme, but just keeping himself moving.
