@mvnces : staring at them. red hues unblinking and tracking their every movement โ a low growl building in his throat every time the other moves the slightest bit in his direction. / silas to whoever might try adopting him
"ะะตะบะพ.. ะปะตะบะพ, ะผะพะผัะต." Easy, boy. Angel mutters quietly under his breath.
Face to face with the beast at last, he extends a slow, halting hand to smooth the air between them - gesture meant to signify truce. He's trekked a long and arduous journey to track the poor creature down again. Unarmed this time and bare-knuckle human in form, parlay clear as day in his body language, to amend their terrible first meeting. He's sure the werewolf remembers him - imposing and loud and startled mean from a few days ago when they'd still been monster and pursuer. But that'd been before Angel had seen the camp. The freakshow site. The cages. Silas the Dog Boy.
He's no longer an investigator on the hunt for a roaming abomination. There is none. The haunches are raised, the teeth bared and, though the creature has no fur to stand on end, Angel recognizes a scared animal when he sees one. Recognizes a hurt one all the same... Dog boy? Surely not. He looks at the poor thing and tries to think like a human would. A cruel, thoughtless one. What would amuse its ignorant little mind. Would it look at the deformed muzzle and warped frame and sate itself on the irony, the fittingness of dubbing it 'dog'. Angel hopes not.. but he tries the name on for size anyway.
"Silas?" The venture is quiet and gentle and he steps as close as the growled crescendo allows. Averts his gaze for a second, to evade looking like an animal poised to pounce while he slowly hunkers low to the grass and at last sits. Less large and threatening now, yet unyielding, he presents a commanding shape that seeks not to intimidate. Hands plainly placed on knees, Angel regards him.
"Silas? That your name?"
The voice gentles imploringly like a parent's. By unwitting habit alone. By virtue of facing the smaller figure and, in the terrified eyes, recognizing something raw and painful.
"...Did they keep you in a cage?"
