Isoke did his best to try and read Onudi as she approached him to get an idea of what sort of training she underwent and what her value as a subject she was to the facility.  From his experiences, anthros derived from domesticated animals were either there for the sole purpose of testing new genetic procedures or for harvesting samples of whatever product or service they provided society.  Since she was clearly canine, she didn't produce something of potential value such as milk, wool, or other such raw materials.  She also didn't appear to be of the typical working breeds that would do manual labor or serve as sentries.  The unusual coloration of her coat clearly pointed to being a subject for the primary purpose of experimenting upon.  Normally, the fox would have filed her under that classification, however the silent footfalls and distance she sat before him indicated agent training of some kind.  The distance thing could have been a fluke or natural instinct, but the footfalls... that is something that takes rigorous practice to do so naturally.<br/><br/>His tail twitched nervously behind him as she analyzed him very closely and overtly as though he was some inanimate object on display.  Not even the facility's physicians looked over him this intently for his physical examinations.  Granted, he had done his best to read her by appearances only moments before, but not like this.  Isoke leaned back only the slightest of degrees when Onudi moved in for a hard gaze as his eyes locked with hers.  One his ears twitched as he struggled to figure out what she was doing, though his deep blue hues never looked away from hers.<em>Is she challenging me for dominance?  What is going on?</em><br/><br/>Just as abruptly as it had started, Onudi's focus broke away from him as she retreated into her bashfulness leaving Isoke blinking in confusion.  Moments passed in awkward silence, his tail idly bouncing on the grass behind him as waited for her to speak, unsure if he had done something to offend her without knowing.  His gaze danced around, doing his best not to stare at the now self conscious canine while also making sure he didn't look like he was ignoring or dismissing her.  She finally introduced herself seconds after he became concerned that she might have been mute and he was being inconsiderate by waiting for her to speak.<br/><br/>Isoke smiled at her words, partially out of kindness, partially out of relief that she wasn't mute, but mostly because of her lovely voice.  He took in a breath to speak a reply, but cut short when she diverted her eyes downward once again out of shyness.  If he planned on getting any real conversation going with her, he had to find a way to loosen her up a bit.  After a brief moment, Isoke lifted himself to his feet, taking a moment to slip a portion of his discarded shirt into the waist of his pants allowing it to hang at his side.  He then offered a paw to Onudi with a friendly smile on his muzzle.<br/><br/>"It's a pleasure to meet you Onudi.  Would you like to walk with me?  It's been a long day of exams and I need to walk out the soreness in my legs.  I would like to hear a bit about you..."  He then shot her a playful wink before continuing, "and what you learned of me with that long gaze."
