He was somewhat impressed by her fluid control of the stick once she noticed that he was here. Honestly though, he never tried to do such things with sticks before. Perhaps there was something to it that he just didn’t realize. He was a bit thrown off by her saying his name twice in different ways, and it cause his brows to wrinkle slightly as he tried to decipher why she made such a difference in saying his name, but alas, his brain was unable to determine anything from it.

The way she looked at him...he didn’t understand what it was about it, but for some reason he liked it. He was enjoying that she seemed to be looking him over so carefully. I made him puff out his muscular chest some without even realizing it. She almost seemed to be feasting on him with her eyes, and he even look at himself for a second to see if something odd was on him...but he could only see his golden brindles.

She then mentions not talking about her stick habit, and he tilted his head slightly. Why would he talk to anyone about it? Yet her next sentence took him aback a bit. The hefty male pushed his form forward ever so slightly in response- but perhaps not for the reason she expected. She was enjoying chewing on the stick, and now wants to enjoy chewing on HIM?

”I will not be chewed on like that,” he says bluntly, not knowing that there may be alternative meanings to what she was saying. Although his brain could not put together the words she was saying with what she meant, it was her body that drew him to step closer. He felt some sort of...pull that he could not control. Even though the words did not line up, he found himself wanting to follow her and get closer. This caused his lips to pull back slightly in response.

”Why are you concerned about what others think?” he asks, regarding the concern for the stick, but really, his mind was just trying to come up with words while his body reacted to her...stance and her look. Really he just wanted to bound forward closer to her and it only causes his paws to push forward more with little control, yet he does not get close enough that they touch...not yet.
