Tanga gave a hesitant smile to Auni, before looking over his own body. He, indeed, had a few small scratches from the fight before, which had left small spots of drying blood across his fur. "Yeah, I'm alright...it's not that bad. I'd take much worse to protect you...both of you."
Tanga once again stole another glance at Imani, wondering if he should talk about his feelings towards her. What would Auni say? "Right now, I'm just...still a little unsettled, I guess," he said, making a gross understatement of his current feelings. "I mean, my existance has been completely lonely and uneventful for so long. And now, in the space of one day, I've gotten into two fights, made two friends, and faced off against my parents' killer. And now..." he looked at Imani again, falling silent once more.
"...all of todays events have changed me, in a few ways. Things that I've tried so hard to forget, I now remember, and new things have come up that..." he stopped himself once again, his courage failing him. He managed a half-hearted laugh, looking at Auni. "Look at me...at least you have an excuse when you suddenly stop talking. Me, I..." Again his voice failed him.
He once more looked up at the sky, his voice growing sadder. "I wish my parents were here right now...I could really use their help."
