Vasiliy is by me!
As Vasi smoked, he considered the oars. The rotten one was good for nothing but kindling, but perhaps the other oar might be salvaged and re-purposed. The cracked blade was just the blade -- the pole might still be made useful for something. He picked at the crack with his finger as he lifted the cigarette to his lips, prodding a claw into the small crack. His ears twitched as he heard the sounds of an approach, the hooves of a horse and what sounded like the feet of a rider -- or would-be rider, since they weren't actually on the horse, as far as he could tell.
The pair rounded a bend and came into view. It took a moment for Vasi to recognize Eclipse and her horse. The woman was leaning on the animal in a way that concerned the granite-hued wolf, but he hesitated to get up even as she made her way toward him. The last time they'd met hadn't been entirely pleasant at the end, and while it was a far cry from an open argument, it had been awkward, to say the least. Eclipse did not seem of the mind to continue their quarrel from the last time, however, and spoke kindly toward him. His tail twitched a few times in happiness, and he grinned.
Aye, miss, aye, he agreed. You okay? You lean on horse -- not ride?
