He Beckoned To Me,

...mostly with his eyes, to walk beside him.

Hmm I had this done for a while, but never got around to uploading it. :') So here's a short comic exploring Redpaw and Atlas' friendship a bit more.

Redpaw was sort of an awkward, shy little noodle as a teen. He was quiet and his values were a bit different from the rest of the kids his age. So that made him a bit of an outsider, even though he was the son of their leader. Sometimes, he'd even be ridiculed by his peers, though this harassment occurred very discreetly.
Atlas, on the other hand, was pretty popular amongst the other apprentices. He was smart and strong, traits that were looked up upon in their clan. However, he doesn't really enjoy the rowdiness and crude humour that some of the other guys have, (but he does politely listen on when they're making dumb comments and such) and he much more prefers the company of Redpaw. 
In the early stages of their friendship, Redpaw had doubts about Atlas' warmth and friendliness towards him. So, while they were out with friends one day, he hung back. He had assumed Atlas would walk on with the others, so he was very much surprised when Atlas turned and waited earnestly for him.
