She didn't seem upset that he was calling attention to himself and he felt a bit more relaxed at the situation in general. It was nice to not have angry eyes on him and he swallowed thickly before he allowed a more even smile to form upon his muzzle. Though he could say he was surprised at the fact that she did not know what a prickly pear was. In fact, the second individual named Titan from what he had heard also didn't know what a prickly pear was. Curious. They were a commodity in the Pitt, something they looked to for food and for when they just needed something sweet. Cacti ran rampant in the deserts there and they were often used for both food and water especially when the water situation was as stressed as it had been when he had left the place. So he was perplexed about the whole question but he would take it with ease and answer the both of their inquiry. "It's a fruit...I often eat it and it's really sweet. You can try if you want..." He ate it typically because it was a deep purple red hue and it tricked him into thinking that he was fed. Though it didn't often work all the time he tried his best to keep himself under control.

But the other question that came forward made him flinch a little, a surge of embarrassment lifting through him and making him look down at his paws. If he had to be honest with himself he didn't know what he was just as he didn't know what his own birthday was. It was perplexing and he hadn't really thought about that until now. His parents, such darkened figures in his life....what had they sounded like? What had they looked like? "I don't...know that. I'm sorry..." It was the honest truth and he sighed softly, rolling his shoulders a little bit before he looked to Halo as she had introduced herself as such. "But it's nice to meet you, Halo."
