There was something really entertaining to Valtala about a hound that could follow orders! He gave another squeal of delight when the cute boy clicked his tongue, and then one of the dogs came up to him. The blonde showered the canine with affection; pets up and down her head and back, mostly. He did not know how to scratch a dog behind the ears, yet.
Valtala watched as the other boy gave chase to the firelizard and then turned back to him, catching his wink. The other’s cheeks reddened and the blonde gave the other a knowing smile. “Oooo! You’re cute when you blush!” He lilted, playfully.
Then, finally, came some much needed introductions! "My name is Nipan," the beastcrafter introduced, before whistling a short, sharp note. Then the other hound started chasing after the firelizard. Valtala clapped his hands in applause as Nipan introduced his crew. ”And that's Lady Knows-the-way who's sniffing at you. Lady Points-true is playing with Sniffs-her-best.”
The seacrafter gasped as he realised that he had been misgendering the hounds. “My ladies!” He corrected himself with a pat to the head of Knows. He rubbed her head vigorously. “And what a beautiful lady you are! Yes, you are!” He smiled from the canine to her owner, his smile bright and large. Clearly, he was impressed!
“Oh…! Yes! One moment!” The blonde cooed as he realised that it was his turn to introduce himself. He climbed down the rock, carefully, to stand in front of Nipan. He gave a graceful bow and then gestured to himself. “My name is Valtala! Though, you can call me ‘Val’ or ‘Tala’, if you want! I was a Journeyman seacrafter before I came here, but now I am a Candidate! Are you a Candidate? I haven’t seen you around the barracks, but I just got here a couple of weeks ago, so, I’m rather new!”
When Nipan joked about Sniffs’ stealing his food, Valtala couldn’t help but laugh at the jest, beaming at the flit as she was chased around. He glanced back at the beastcrafter just as the other boy was tucking his hair behind his ear. Then came an offer that Valtala was very surprised by.
"Would you like to join me under the pavilion? I have drinks and chilled fruits in the ice box.” Spoke Nipan, and the blonde couldn’t help but give another delighted squeal. So far, making friends was really working! He knew that today was the day!
“Ah, yes! I would love that!” Valtala admitted, curling some hair over his fingertip for a moment before carefully flipping his hair back. “It is hot, hot, hot out today. I’m not used to this kind of weather, yet. Isn’t it frightening? I am most intrigued to think about what the summer months will be like! It feels like summer is already here!” Chatted the blonde as he followed the beastcrafter to the pavilion.
