He, too, was starting to change. The luff of his fur was changing to be sleek and more luxurious. He was gaining muscle now with his first year, and his face was becoming a bit more defined and masculine. The edginess of his look was starting to peek through as well. He never looked at himself though, other than his paws and when he had to groom his fur. He noticed the changes in himself over time but didn’t think about it too much.

He did not notice her at first, his green eyes continuing to look around with hope. His ears drooped and tail fell after a moment due to his uncertainty if she was here or not. He blinked and whined softly to himself, not realizing his own whine would cover up the movement of Lucia coming upon him. When he does hear her, it is much too late, as she is in the air aiming to catch him with a Gotcha. He is surprised, and knocked over by her aim. He does not mind though. He lets her remain on top of him as he is pushed into the dirt- luckily he chose a spot with not many rocks!

His eyes laid upon her and he blinks, tail naturally thumping against the ground. He felt her fur and warmth against him. He got a look at her and she sure had changed. She was larger now, and her fur had changed. She was up close and he saw had her face had changed over time too. How long had they been apart? Too long in his opinion if she was growing and changing so much, and he didn’t get to experience it with her! Finally a smile overcomes his stunned self, and he nips at her muzzle gently with his own giggle.

”You did!” he said playfully, which was...quickly interrupted. He had not noticed the older and larger wolf who now said that he must be Aeon. He lifts his head from the ground and sees the bright pink eyes. There is something...terrifying about her and he feels himself gulp as he looked at her warily while she tells Lucia to get off of him. He rolls over and sits up, ears pinned against his head and his eyes dash over to Lucia, seeing how she reacts to know how serious this may or may not be. The adult then asks if he knows who she is, and his green eyes look up at her, in a sort of pathetic cute puppy way. He was not completely sure he understood what she said, so it took a moment as he thought about it. He then begins to slowly shake his head no, before looking once again back at Lucia. He didn’t understand why being friends was...such a big deal?
