"Aye," he murmured in his rich tones. "The Aurora Basin is my home, a chilly abode of mountains and lakes." He was pleased to be able to call the icy realm his home, to walk amongst its frozen tundra, to drink from its mystical lake. He was learning every day (something that was rather humbling for the sometimes over-confident brute), and he was growing to enjoy the company of those who shared his realm.
At the other's strange comment on his antlers, Grimalkin raised a chocolate brow, but mentally shrugged the strangeness off. He had seen and heard of stranger things happening, than a stallion complimenting another for his antlers. "Thanks.. Yours are rather sharp." He added the comment as a sort of afterthought, an attempt to connect with this stranger. Throughout the conversation, the interaction, he made what observations he could about him - the confident way he stood, the subtle interactions between equine and canine, the strange straps of dead animal skin that crossed over his hide. Faint herbal scents wafted from the closed pack, he wondered what lay within, but did not enquire.
"I am Grimalkin. Who might you be?" Of all the questions that had sprung to his mind, he chose the most sedate - even going so far as to reveal his name, to attempt to bridge a friendship with this richly hued steed.
