He felt…vulnerable right now. The safety of always having one single spot for a home had its downsides, and that was right now. Yet, the male knew to keep his eyes, ears, and mind open. He had much to learn, and it appears Devika was one he could learn much from, even if her stories were not sown with words.
Large paws followed as she brushed against him, leading the way. She held more confidence in this manner, and it appeared that her eyes were trained upon what to look for in these lands. He looked to her as she huffed, blinking as he attempted to put together what the huff was about. Perhaps it was difficult to find something that fits them both. He did take up a lot of room. His size, simply a burden, gifted to him by a father he never knew.
She lead him to rocks that had a gap large enough for them both. He watched as she inspected it, and he leaned forward to sniff as she did. He also did not smell anything of note, but he wasn’t totally sure what she was sniffing for. Devika moved in, and he was about to follow when dirt flew out, some landing on his nose. He shook it off, and sat back silently observing. He wanted to help, but the anxiety of messing up had him a bit frozen. Often he was told what to do in the pack, and due to his size compared to the others, he was often just considered in the way. So, he stayed out of the way.
He grinned when she popped her head back out, tail wagging slightly with natural excitement. She did not exclude him from the sleeping spot. He was getting prepared to spend the night outside if required, but the gesture lead him in. Hulking form lowered and moved forward as she settled, and he turned around towards the entrance, tail brushing against her, feet stepping on her tail. He felt it, and frowned.
“Forgive this one. These limbs are large, and the space is not. No harm is meant to your tail.” he says as he adjusts, laying down and trying his best to give her space- yet there is a little space. He minded not sharing the space with the stranger, but he was conscience that she may feel claustrophobic next to him here.
“If you ask this one to stand guard beyond, it shall be done without pause. Your comfort is the star that guides.”
