What to do. He had lost that pretty feline he met awhile ago, and he had lost his way after coming back from his moms place. Shyanne had been beyond happy to see him again, and his step-father was settled in. His family was whole again, even without his birth father. Tweak... He stilled loved him. How couldn't he? He had been raised by the man, after all. He couldn't lie, he had blamed Tweak for never seeing his mother. He had been a child then... Now? He just didn't know how to feel about any of it. Tweak was harder to find these days, and his mother was wrapped up in her new mate and the thought of having even more kids. It was difficult.
Ugh, serious thinking like this would give him a headache.
So, he cleared his head, losing sight of the ground as he seemed to just blank out. So, it wasn't surprising that he bumped into a pretty fox, eyes widening as he rammed right into her. Leaping backwards, the males ears flipped back before he finally got a good sight of her. Oh jeesh, that wasn't a good first impression!
"Oh! I'm so sorry. Didn't mean to ram into you like a fool. I didn't injure such a pretty lady, did I?"

Snowdrop should have been more alert. She liked to think that usually she was pretty well aware of her surroundings. You had to be, to stay safe in some of the places she liked to travel. But this time she happened to be spending too much attention to the plants and not enough on anything that might be coming up behind them. As a result, she didn't notice the other fox until he practically ran her over. She tried to backpedal at the last moment, lost her balance, and half-fell into a bush.
Her ears tilted back unhappily as she scrambled free of the branches, then shook a couple stray leaves off her fur. At least that buy didn't have thorns. Then she looked up at the fox who'd bumped into her. A male, not one she knew, though she wasn't hugely familiar with the inhabitants of this area.
She opened her mouth to reply, decided 'watch where you're going' would be a bit hypocritical since she hadn't been either, and settled on, "Be careful where you walk." She looked over her shoulder to give herself a quick once-over, decided she'd suffered nothing worse than ruffled and dirty fur, and added, "I'm fine, no harm done."

Snowdrop nodded. Having family in the area made sen-- wait, he'd called her pretty. Twice, come to think of it. She wasn't sure how to respond to that (he hadn't directly complemented her, so a "thank you" didn't seem appropriate), so she just smiled a little.
She spent a lot of time traveling alone, so she wasn't the best conversationalist. Leaving at this point seemed rude, even though she didn't have much to say. For lack of anything else to talk about, she said, "How nice of you to visit your family." There was a pause as she considered where to go from there, then in an attempt to not let the silence stretch too long she asked, "Are you heading back to your home, then?"

"Ah, no, I'm not heading home," she responded. "I'm actually heading north to look for a rare alpine flower. That's what I do, mostly, go around looking for vegetation of various kinds." She sat up straighter, more confident, as she continued. This was something she knew and could talk about!
"Sometimes foxes might hire me to hunt down a plant they need, such as for medicine or study. Other times it's just for myself, to explore and see what's out there. This is a bit of both; at one point a fox told me to keep an eye out for various plants and report back, so they had eyewitness accounts of where those plants could be found. I remembered hearing about this one flower and had been wanting to see it for myself, and as it happened to be one I had been asked to look out for, I thought it was a good time to look for it. But it's only likely to be in season for a few more weeks and it rather rare, so I don't have long to get to the most likely location and look for it--"
She suddenly cut herself off, blinked as she realized how much she'd been talking, then ducked her head slightly. "Er, sorry, I can get a bit enthusiastic about this."
(OOC: bluhbluh I forgot what I wanted her to say/do *bangs out some kind of response finally* )
