He closed his eyes as he danced towards the crosswalk. The music was so good it distracted Nytal from noticing the blind spot around the corner. A young shewolf approached from the opposite side of the sidewalk. Her nose was burried into her phone; browsing her Furbook, and not aware of Nytal approaching.

The wolf caught a glimpse and quickly looked up from her phone, letting out a surprised shriek as Nytal danced right into her. He yelped in shock while the shewolf flailed backwards. Responding with fast reflexes Nytal swung his arms around her sides to catch her back. He pulled the distraught wolf back to her feet, looking over her body for any injuries.

She squirmed against his chest, lightly smacking him and flailing with bared teeth.

"Hey! Watch where you're going! Are you blind?" She went to swing her paw again towards Nytal only to have it caught within one of his large paws.

Nytal pulled her up to straighten her out and steady their footing and released her paw.

"I'm truly sorry ma'am." He tried to smile to calm her down, but this only made her seem even more upset. "I was listening to my iPawd and didn't notice you."

He gave her a sincere apologetic grin loaded with charm, hoping she wouldn't stay mad at him and see that he owned up for his mistake. Her face softened when she realized how kind Nytal was being about the whole situation. She felt a bit silly for hitting him and slowly backed away.

She sighed looking up at him, "It's alright, I wasn't paying attention either. I was too busy on my phone to notice you walking-er-dancing up to me."

Nytal reached down and retrieved her phone off the ground which must have fallen during their scuffle. He lightly brushed off the surface before handing it back to her.

Nytal chuckled. "What's your name?"

The shewolf swallowed fast and scratched her ear trying not to look embarrassed. "How rude of me, my name is Lyrika."

Nytal smiled at her cute attempt to hide her embarrassment. "I'm the clumsy dancing wolf that just saved you from a tragic fall." He winked. "Call me Nytal."
