Koal internally grinned at the annoyed tone of the mysterious figure. Chuckling he shed his leather jacket, exposing his black t-shirt, the jacket wouldn't do anything but hinder him anyway. He grasped a low-lying branch and quickly and gracefully climbed the tree. The man didn't seem like the type to like people in his space , so he halted his climb up the tree on a branch positioned just across from the one the other had claimed.
His closer proximity to the man gave him some idea as to what he looked like, although he was covered mostly by his winter-clothing. It reminded Koal of the Siberian traders who would pass through his part of town every now and again. He had glowing yellow eyes and, as he had seen earlier, sharp yellow teeth. This man was someone not to be trifled with. He settled himself on the tree, positioning his sword in a way that he wouldn't be able to grab it easily, trying to show the man that he didn't want to fight.
" I want to know if you know where we are." Koal started off hesitantly. He had never been to good at speaking. He had been raised to speak Greek, so he didn't start off speaking English. Whenever he did so now, his voice had a lilting accent and a slightly musical undertone. He had always been bullied at school for it. " And, if its not too personal... I would like you to share your story of how you ended up here. In the Omniverse." Koal almost cringed at his own request. 'Of course its a personal question you idiot' I internally yelled at myself.
" I mean I-I just wan-." He abruptly stopped. He cleared his throat, trying to dispel his stutter. It only ever came up if he was really stressed nowadays. " I just mean that I wanted to compare our stories, see if there are any similarities." I started again, my tone low and my voice becoming deadly serious." I want to figure out why I'm here. So I'll make you a deal, You share your story, I share mine."
"Deal?" My violet eyes making contact with his.
