Yesss, and you'll soon learn why.
It was rare for him to return the smiles of others, and today was no exception. However, he noted with some satisfaction that she did not seem offended the least. Technically she was at a lower rank, so it would have made little difference if she had. But the Lykoi did not care too much for the ranks in the packs as long as it was not he that was expected to be extraordinarily courteous.
A nod was given at her next words, but there were practical reasons besides the visual to why he had settled on this idea. ”Come rain, and well used paths quickly become muddy. This will help, I think.” Nothing was to be judged certain before it had been proven, and for now he could only hope that it would make a difference. If not, it would always be pretty, he thought.
Pale gold ears leaned only slightly back towards the back of his skull as she belittled herself. Or perhaps it was simple honesty. He didn’t know the Helsi female nearly well enough to make an assumption. Sunset eyes only visited the injury on her shoulder once she gesticulated to it to reveal why she might not be in the best of shapes. ”An accomplishment, no less,” he calmly insisted, knowing well that medium sized game could sometimes become dangerous when threatened and injured.
He was genuinely, though invisibly, surprised when she came with her suggestion, as out of the blue. It seemed odd for an almost stranger to offer assistance and a meal in the same breath. Nevertheless, he could appreciate this. And this could prove to be an effective way to bond with another. He needed more friends, as China so delicately put it.
”Much obliged.” The corners of his lips only barely softened, but once Draugr learned to know him, she would be able to view it as his version of a friendly smile. Red eyes glanced over the uneven stone plates he had retrieved. He was uncertain if it was enough to finish anything, but it was definitely enough to start. At this time it was unfortunate that he didn’t have a personal slave, but it had never really interested him. ”Khirot or Gjalda,” he suggested, knowing well that his better half would feel more comfortable finding one of them nearby and not the poor maimed Darijus.
