Jiva made a few excursions outside his pack, but he did not go too far, in fact he intended to make sure that there wasn’t a trail of wolf or coyote or anything unwanted near the pack at all. He was going beyond what was expected of him, but so far the only encounters he had met were friendly ones... and he himself was far too friendly to always be in suspicion not like Palaydrian, but he probably would if he were the one who had been attacked. He was following the river, though the long way when it made steep falls. He learned early on from Titania that he was no mountain climber. Soon he came to the falls which he couldn’t help but admire, and think that he should bring Drin here and have a picnic or something. That was something to think about for the future.

It seemed he wasn’t alone. He had almost missed the msell because of the misty waters that formed aroudn the waterfall, but he smelled raw meat and he looked to see a man working near the river, skin being set out to dry and he smiled a little. He moved, though more cautiously than he had with the others’ that he met. Who knew what anyone would act like especially with food.

“Hello.”

He looked at the man then the meat he had cut up, that was a deer, and he wondered how the man could fell a whole deer on his own. He looked around to make sure that no one else was around. He couldn’t smell anyone but the mist smell of the river was all he could get in his nose at the moment. This would be something that would keep him wary at the moment.

It seemed Jiva was received well, the man greeted him with a kind tone and Jiva couldn’t help but let out an audible sigh of relief and smiled. “I am well thank you and I hope I find you the same? My name is Jiva Takekuro.” He said introducing himself, figuring they could get such niceties out of the way so they knew what to call one another as Torok seemed to be thinking the same as he was the first to introduce himself. Jiva shook his head in answer; “I’m just doing a scouting and got sidetracked really, I’m not hungry, thank you though.” He said lightly, and it was true he was rather well fed from the catch that Drin had gotten him.

He looked over at the river, he couldn’t help but think this was a nice area to just relax, especially with the sound of the running water. It was quite tranquil, he turned his attention at the man and sat on his haunches and let his own question leave his lips as he was curious; “You don’t seem to be from a pack around here, are you new?” He asked after all the man could just be traveling through. Jiva was curious at the man, glad he was kind enough so far, but he still had his pack on his mind and to just let someone be close to their borders, but not close enough to chase off, did make him a bit nervous.
