Sunrise

While reindeer was definitely his preferred choice of food, he had no qualms about a free meal. It would be foolish to reject it. He'd take another hearty bite of the sea-creature, though a careful one - though hungry, he didn't want to seem like a ravenous buffoon. He'd flash a wide grin as he swallowed another bite, his tail waving in a wide arc behind him in a clear display of pleasure. It was rare to find someone so willing to give up their food, even if - as Basil had explained - he hadn't killed himself, only found it.

"Thanks again, Basileus," he'd offer, his grin unwavering as he spoke, briefly pausing to lick his lips. He would quietly return to eat his fill, taking a few rather large bites, knowing that it would go to waste too quickly to expect it to be fully consumed before then. "Though I should be heading back." Back to.. nowhere in particular, but away from this place; he didn't want to overstay his welcome. "Perhaps we shall meet again someday," he would flash his new acquaintance a playful smile, tusked head bowing in a low nod before he turned to depart.
