Never Before

Tokala stared in open amazement. He'd never seen the cliff before. In fact, before he'd come to Starlight Academy, he'd never seen much more than the cage he lived in.

Now, though, he stood about five feet away from the edge, hands over his mouth. He was glad for the gray hoodie he wore, even if it was rather big on him, and the cargo pants that sagged around his hips. The wind up on the cliff, with no trees or buildings to block it, was cold.

Tokala nodded and stepped back to lean against Niyaz, eyes still wide in amazement. "Cliff-wind is cold, but very pretty. Niyaz is cold?" He asked, worried that the other would be uncomfortable.

Tokala jumped, tail puffing out when he heard someone cough. He still clung to Niyaz's arm, but he turned, tugging the male with him, to look at Allie. He pressed his ears flat against his head and glared at her, wondering who she was. Silently, he hid halfway behind Niyaz, clinging to his arm tighter. He didn't like people...

Tokala took the other hoodie and stuffed his arms into it. Once they were un-occupied again, he clung to Niyaz's arm once again. He cocked his head to the side as the female spoke, not understanding her. So he merely looked up at Niyaz, hoping for a translation.
