after a long night of sleeping and dying from the heat, poet found that the afternoon heat was much worse. he didn’t trust a good bit of the water here so he had often resorted to puddles on the streets since it wasn’t as muddy or.. irradiated- he hoped, at least. he wouldn’t want to be growing extra limbs or dying of radiation poisoning.

losing or gaining an extra limb would be.. a very unfortunate thing to happen to poetking. he quite liked how he was now, but.. maybe some horns would be cool, or bigger teeth. he wasn’t horribly intimidating yet, so something to make him seem like he could hurt you would help.. not that he’d want to hurt someone. but he was still a young male- didn’t even have a full mane yet.. that was usually their mane fear factor. the longer the mane, the older you were, the more wars you’ve survived.

stopped at another puddle, he would look over his reflection and raise a paw to ruffle the top of his shirt mane, tilting his head and huffing when he just went back to its original position.

He’d seen too many deformed creatures in his time here to really be trustful of anything found on the territory. However, unlike Poetking, he did not resort to drinking water found in puddles. He had numerous rainwater traps set up to collect water for plants, several of which were in town. So, on this fine day, that’s where he found himself.

However, before he had even gotten halfway to his first collector, he came across a lion. Despite looking not quite fully grown, the creature was much, much larger than himself. It was a little.... well, frightening, to be honest. And did the lion look a little sad? Before he could stop himself, Selby called out, "Excuse me?"

Unable to turn back now, he pushed away any discomfort and continued. "You look like you could use some company. May I sit down?"

[div style="width: 480px; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 13px;"]poor poet had not been expecting to be interacted with so early. the longer fur on the back of his neck rose for a moment, eyed a bit wide as he turned his head to focus on the much smaller male. he just wanted to give him some company- how sweet of him, poet though. he shook out his fur quickly and offered as much of a smile as a lion could offer.

"of course! it’s not like i own the street." he chirped in amusement, giving his massive head a slight tilt. he had yet to meet this other feline, but he seemed friendly. "i don’t believe we’ve met yet. i’m poetking." he introduced himself, amber eyes shining.

/hhhh mobile :^)

"No, I don’t believe we have," the feline said agreeably. "I’m Selby. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Poetking."

A pleasant breeze blew by, stirring the fur along Selby’s ears as he continued. "Are you new? If you are, welcome. If you need help with anything, you should let me know. I’m also a sawbones, so if you get hurt or sick or anything you should come find me."

Selby briefly recalled the time that he had joined Tanglewood with his father. He remembered that he had been scared. Of what, he didn’t remember. A mutant, most likely. The territory was full of them, and yet Selby still wasn’t used to seeing them. He didn’t think he ever would.
