I am Orb. He wasn't expecting company. Not many wolves approached him now a days. It was like word was spreading of the oddity that is Orb in Moladian. Even Aster didn't want to approach him when they met her. "CAN YOU BLAME HER? YOU'RE A BLABBERING LUNATIC." He winced at Bandit's cruel jibes, but Diesel was having none of it. He growled in warning at Bandit and gave Orb a gentle look. "IT'LL JUST TAKE TIME, ORB. SHE'LL GET TO KNOW US AND SHE'LL FIND THAT WE'RE NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL. JUST WAIT AND SEE." "YEAH, JUST WAIT AND SEE HER RUN FOR THE HILLS." Bandit cracked up laughing at his own joke but none were impressed. Orb frowned even further and stared down at his feet in shame. What was he going to do now? He had no friends, no pack, no purpose. But then he heard a noise and his head snapped up. At first, his heart leapt into his throat. Could it be? Was it Aster coming to check on him? Could she feel his distress? But no, he told himself. He would feel she was near. Somehow he just knew that. She was still safe in Asteraia. So, Elowen maybe? He missed her more than he could say. His tail started thumping on the ground in greeting and his ears pricked forward, a smile already tugging at his lips in welcome. But no, it wasn't Elowen. Instead a stranger he'd never met before walked toward him, asking if he cared for company. Before he could even fully take in what he was seeing, Bandit of course, had to jump in with a cackle. "LOOK, IT'S THE FREAKING HUNCHBACK OF MOLADIAN, SANS PEG LEG! NOW I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING!" His latin accent was even stronger as he burst out laughing, almost falling over on his back in his outburst as Orb's ears flicked back to his head and he ducked his head in apology, not sure of what else to do. Diesel took a sniff toward the bag on her back and his brows raised. "SHE'S A HEALER. OR SOME OTHER KIND OF HERB GATHERER. MAYBE SHE'LL HAVE SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP." Orb lifted his head at that, suddenly hopefully. Yes, maybe she would have something to help this ache in his chest, this feeling of desolation from missing Elowen's presence and feeling turmoiled about Aster. His eyes twinkled as he offered a soft smile. "UM, HELLO. I'M ORB. YES, I WOULDN'T MIND THE COMPANY. THAT IS, IF YOU DON'T MIND...WELL, THE COMPANY." His lips quirked a little as one ear flicked back. Yes, that was his corny try at a joke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Confused?
