He hasn't had much by way of friendly fauna to work with since...well, since Exsilium happened. And even well before that! So imagine that – seeing a scrawny little rat was exciting enough to stop everything, get the sketchbook out, and try his best to draw as fast as he can. Exciting moreso, perhaps, because these kinds of things are such races: Who knows how long that critter's going to be gnawing on that nondescript piece of trash on the other side of the alleyway?



He chewed his cheek, face scrunching up now and then as he tried to etch out the little shape to match what was just a few feet away.

The boy grinned, feeling strangely pleased by the simple act. He couldn't really explain why if he had to, but it was just enough to ease some of the queasiness in his stomach.

With that done, he nodded his approval, accepting the book back at last. Once he'd pressed his thumb down on the pencil against the page to keep it from rolling away, he drew his free hand to his lips, letting it drop down, palm-up as he mouthed thank you.

A soft, pleasant hum was all he gave in response, that persistent grin still trying his muzzle despite his growing desire to eliminate it. Shadow rose, taking to stretching his fingers all the way down to his toes, bending and curving to flex out every muscle in his body again.

"Mm, this will do."

He straightened back up, feeling plenty more refreshed and rejuvenated. He was ready to get back to business, but not without sneaking a glance back at him and curtly nodding. He wasn't sure how to word the feelings stirring within him, urging to release themselves, so he hesitated even as he finally spoke, voice cracking.

"I... appreciated the company."

That would do it.
