Koda's brain realized in the back of his mind that this wasn't a real dog. The sleepy part of his mind saw ears and tail and came up with canine. He blinked and tried to focus clearly on the person in front of him. He tilted his head to the side as the lava dropped onto the ground from the being persons mouth. That would hurt quite a bit he was sure if it ended up on his skin. He wasn't afraid but he didn't want to be scorched by lava. However, he made no indication to move. He had no inclination to do so. He let out a soft sounding laugh as he was sniffed. It kinda tickled. "Nice to meet you too." He said softly. He watched the male sound out the hello word. "Close enough." He said with a warm smile. "You'll get it in no time. Just don't give up okay?" He then fell silent. It just felt easy to talk to this canine like person. Maybe it was because he wasn't human. Least he was assuming he wasn't what with the tail and what not. He was hot. Very, very hot. The heat that he guessed was coming from the canine person being got even more intense. He let out a soft sound. He wasn't made for extreme heats. He could smell death stronger as well. Still he was not afraid. Confused but not afraid. He smiled warmly at the guy but it got to the point where shy or not and awkward as it was going to be he need to get cooler. He unbuttoned his shirt even as a blush crossed his cheeks. He wasn't muscular but he was a healthy toned build. He let his shirt fall to his sides and breathed in and out. It was so hot. He looked at the guy. "I'm sorry...if I'm intruding..." He said. He was doing off again because the heat plus the exhaustion his eyes had not a chance. "I just feel...safe and more...at ease....in a graveyard...then with humans." He dozed off and end up curling up in a ball where he was. His form becoming covered in sweat from the intense heat.
