Description
Bucket walked through the woods as quietly as he could, it would only get darker and he knew if he couldn't find shelter for the night, the least he could do was to ensure he didn't attract to much attention. Leaving his only home should've been hard shouldn't it? Instead, he felt lighter he ever did, the light breeze accompanied by the rustling of the leaves left him with a sense of calm.The finn shook his head a little. Yes it felt nice, but he knew he had to figure out a destination, wondering aimlessly would likely end up getting him killed. Of course food and water was another matter to be dealt with. He let out a sigh a looked down, maybe he should've thought harder about leaving. Before he could dwell on it for too long, a branch snapping caught his attention. He paused, ears perking up and he tried to pinpoint the location, he went into a light crouch, ready to bolt in case of danger.
"Kwee!" a familiar face from a nearby bush jumped out and bounded over to him with a large smile, which Bucket found himself replicating.
"It's you!" the finn cried happily as the boo nuzzled his leg. "I'm glad you're okay." cooed whilst petting the boo before he continued down a random unmarked path.
"Well, since you're here, care to keep me company?" he asked which the boo responded with a loud 'kwee' to, causing Bucket to chuckle.
The pair walked in silence for a few minutes before a thought popped into Bucket's head.
"You need a name." the boo titled their head towards him and the two engaged into a light staring contest.
The finn stared at the boo, their colors mildly reminded him of bronze, or copper would be a better fit. Naming them Copper seemed too simple though, they deserve better than that. His head wondered back to the books he'd read, mainly to those of pirates and sea adventures. He smiled as an idea popped into his head.
"How about Captain Copper? You like that name?"
"Kwee!"
"Captain Copper it is then!" He exclaimed with a laugh. "Well Captain, guess it's gonna be you and me for a while then huh?"
The boo said nothing, simply butting their head against the back of the wyngling's arm.
"Yeah, I wouldn't want it any other way either." he murmured before he turned his focus back onto the path. Life wasn't great yet, but it had certainly been a step up already.
