He still wasn't certain that he could trust her but at least some of the previous tension had drained from his demeanor and he felt himself beginning to relax. Soka must have picked up on the change in emotion because she swooped down and landed on his shoulder with a shrill screech, her golden brown eyes scanning the woman. She too seemed cautious but she was there when Nikki had been attacked so she had no reason not to be. Reaching a hand up he gave the hawk a pat and smiled. She often calmed him in bad situations. After listening to Vesper's words his smile widened.
"I'm afraid your out of luck then because Soka prefers fishing, until the rivers freeze over that's what she'll do and more often then not, she feeds both of us." By this time the hawk had settled down and appeared to have been sleeping until Nikki mentioned food, to which she looked around in curiosity. They certainly hadn't eaten today and so he imagined she was waiting for him to send her out. He didn't feel a need for food at the moment though, especially not in the presence of a hungry stranger. "Does your pack not provide for it's members?" He asked casually. He wasn't trying to cause a fight, simply curious.
When he decided not to send her out, Soka simply watched once more, drifting in and out of sleep.
