The man settled into his home with an air of practice. He seemed comfortable, at ease, relaxed... Ankaios reluctantly began to follow in his footsteps. He sat down for starters, and tucked his tail at his side all neat a prim. It was about as relaxed as he ever got, truthfully. When the grey man spoke, Kai fought to keep his eyes from narrowing. Was that.. Was that mockery? It seemed like the stranger did not think he was capable of offering anything worthwhile! His coat puffed out a bit, goaded now, and after having offered someone else servitude in the first place! Still, it would be below him to quarrel. "I would offer you your choice," he began, voice silky and calm, "but you strike me as a devious man. I hope you don't mind my saying so, it certainly does not come as an insult. I would gladly provide for you your next meal, if that would suffice. You have provided for me, after all."

It was the way the man walked, the cool competence in his gaze, the health he retained even in among the harshest of seasons in an unforgiving climate. Devious was the closest Kai could get to pinning the feeling down. It was a sort of respect, perhaps. The man seemed like he was taking the whole world in one drop at a time before he chose to act. Kai could appreciate such a trait. "My name is Ankaios, if that sort of thing matters to you. Ankaios Aeris." He considered that the man might wish to leave the debt unpaid until a later date. It would do him no good if he did not have a name with which to search, and Kai truly did have every intention of leveling this playing field. He was not accustomed to debt, and he was suddenly feeling very secure in that wariness. This uncertainty was no fun at all.
