Swentzle had expected the journey to be a quiet one, so he was somewhat surprised when the young Leon came up beside him. Turning to look at him through half-glazed eyes, he smiled and gave a jovial nod of his head, more focused on guiding Hamza than anything else. "Yes, Ichika No Ho-En." He reminded the boy, and then had to turn his attention to Hamza as the bison bellowed and attempted to drop to the floor. A sharp knock to the head with his staff confused the poor beast enough to allow Swentzle to nudge him carefully along once more, and he was only half paying attention when Leon asked after his "pet."
"Which one would that be?" His voice was distracted, but Irinei heard and understood perfectly, growling low in his throat and shouting over the side of the cart, "Come say that to my face, pip-squeak!" Swentzle turned to look at him, half-hanging out of the cart, and frowned before reaching back and knocking him in the head, too, his voice stern. "I've not tended your injuries these past days only for you to open them the first chance you get. And mind your manners," He added as an after-thought, "The boy didn't mean you." Irinei slumped back into the wagon, rubbing the sore spot on his skull, and grumbled under his breath about the impertinence of youth.
