He couldn't help but wonder if Valentine was always so willing to let wolves into his home. Though Áki could match Valentine's strength, he was certain of that, he knew that Valentine had the upper paw here. Not that he had even the slightest intention of being troublesome, he'd sooner leave than cause any sort of conflict - but Valentine had nothing to fear in letting a single stranger into his home, no matter who he was. He regarded the other brute quietly, his grin remaining as he accepted his suggestion. He was liking this man more and more by the minute. He was confident, but not in a flashy sort of way; he felt his tail beginning to wag more rapidly behind him. "You didn't lie when you said you were a wanderer at heart, did you?" He knew pack life didn't have to be terrible, though it wasn't something that he was interested in.. and yet Valentine most certainly was. He seemed willing to show him the few places he slept, and he would nod and gladly turn to follow alongside him. "Relics," he would repeat the word in his own heavy northern accent. Aki's deep voice was brimming with interest, and he would hang his tusked muzzle to the earth, nostrils flaring as he tasted the scents that surrounding him here. His gait was relaxed and his steps fluid as he moved near Valentine's side, interested in particular in the structure he mentioned. There was no doubting that his eyes did stray quite a bit from his surroundings, focusing sporadically on Valentine next to him. It'd been awhile since he'd found someone who impressed him so thoroughly, and he was content to relish in the newfound interest unabashedly. A thoughtful murmur left his lips as he moved quietly with Valentine, closer to the barn. It was nothing like he'd ever seen before, though he'd seen some vaguely similar structures.. things made of wood and stone, things that seemed to come from entirely beyond this world. "Shall we explore further, then?" Valentine admitted he hadn't explored everything in there yet. He flashed him a questioning look as they approached the barn's entrance, finally taking the final step and slipping into the shadows, his eyes widening as they adjusted to the slight darkness here. This place was strange, with metal things here and there.. there was quite a bit to explore. "Seems like a safe place to hide from the elements," he would admit with a nod. Perhaps not perfect, but a solid shelter that many could share if necessary. |
