Brandon's tense muscles relaxed when she hadn't responded with a shout. This came a little bit as a surprise since a lot of people got angry when this happened. It didn't happen frequently, but it still happened. He really should have bought a leash for him. As well-trained as Shawn is, he was still an animal. He guessed he should have taken the advice of every other person he talks with when it came to handling Shawn. [color=39b54a]"I'm really sorry for that. He doesn't usually do this..."[/color] He said with a sigh. He then whistled and Shawn padded over to his side and then sat down beside him with his head still down. He then gave her a silly grin and rubbed the back of his head. [color=39b54a]"I'm just as surprised as you."[/color] He then looked around, as if avoiding eye contact with the girl, and then noticing that there were some adults who just left but was really looking at them with a look that made him uneasy. He didn't really see her when she was down so he didn't really get why. But now that he was aware of the loads of people around them, he suddenly got a little bit embarrassed as shown by a light blush on his cheeks. Oh but he shouldn't leave just like that. He looked back at Jill but still somehow avoiding direct eye contact. [color=39b54a]"Oh, uh, I have to make it up to you somehow..."[/color] He softly said, fiddling his fingers. [i]"This would be the perfect time to make a friend!"[/i] Euan's words rang in his head. As one can tell, he wasn't much for interactions. He always stuck by Euan, and even way back when he was living in a village, he only ever really interacted with the two other orphans and the mother. Maybe he should snag this opportunity to actually get to know someone besides the people he barters with. It seemed like the perfect opportunity. Euan always says that a lot of acquaintances would pay off. [color=39b54a]"Uh, would you like some food? My treat."[/color] He suggested with a small smile. He was pretty hungry. Even if she would decide not to come with him, he would still have to eat. Shawn would have been pretty hungry too anyway. [@Shaymin]
