Maes wasn't sure how to feel about being in a group, either. Really, he wasn't sure how to feel about any of this, being a former human and what not. It was strange, supposedly dying and then waking up as a canine. Having Roy there with him definitely made things easier, but it was still hard. He couldn't help thinking about all they had left behind. Still, in the hopes of a good life here, he tried not to think about his family.
Of course, it was a lot easier said than done. He did everything he could to distract himself, focusing on trivial things and activities to keep his mind away from sad topics. He had always been the optimistic type--but that was being tested each time a new day started. With every rise of the sun, his paws felt heavier and heavier, like they were gradually being filled with lead. He still managed to put on a brave face, though.
Today, though, had been especially hard. The lab trudged about the observatory, trying his best to keep up his cheerful facade, and failing. Wanting to take a break, he sought out the fields for refuge. It was a lot nicer out now, as the days were gradually getting warmer with the beginning of spring. He sits out among the tall grass and closes his eyes, feeling the wind as it ruffles his fur, chin pointed up towards the sky.
The peaceful atmosphere is cut short, though, as something bumps into him. He turns around to see what it was, caught off guard to see a snake there behind him, peering up at him with slit pupils. "Oh! Hello. I didn't see you there," he says, shifting so he was facing him. He felt bad since this was probably another member and he had never seen him around before. "Yes, I was. They're quite nice, especially around this time of year."
He turns to look down at the snake, giving him a friendly grin. "I'm Maes Hughes, by the way. And you are?"
"SPEECH"
