( it's actually a bit of an odd name to most animals where he's from, too... but he's used to comments like that by this point. )
Konoha... ( her name is a little odd for him too, but he smiles warmly, though not one that bares his teeth — it's a common courtesy that carnivores show to herbivores where he's from, just as he's careful to keep his hands held or folded in a way that hide his claws. especially if she's been hurt by carnivores (wolves?) before, he wants to be especially careful. ) It's been nice talking with you, Konoha.
( he follows the direction of her pointing finger, knowing innately that it's southeast. he listens, his expression wistful. ) Oh... That sounds nice. I haven't been to a place like that in a while — not for much time, anyways. I was living in a boarding school in the city for several years before coming here. ( a brief pause, and then he continues, tone reprising wistful. ) It'd be nice to go on walks through the forest again...
