What's My Name?

The woman listened to his explanation of his activities with rapt attention. Kaecious wasn't used to this level of single-minded focus, seeing as his mind wandered farther and faster than a river in spring. She nodded before turning her snout to the air. "There might be some mint nearby," she proclaimed. Kaeci's ears perked and his eyes lit with curious interest of his own. "You don't say? Lead the way, then." But instead of taking off directly towards whatever she was sensing, she paused. The woman gave his alter a queer look before slowly leaning down and plucking off one of her... strange, jingly berries. She pondered whether or not his spirits would be able to cure it, as it had somehow lost the noise it's kin chortled out after her every motion. He liked the look of it on the stone, deeming it a worthy addition. Kaecious smiled at her, grateful for the thoughtful action. She told him that while the land he described sounded like something that could exist around here, she herself had no knowledge of such a place. Some of his excitement washed away, but the man refused to wilt entirely. "Thank you for the offer, but I range far and in many directions. Who knows when or if ever we might cross paths again." It was something of a dour statement, but he said it with a disaffected, casual tone. He saw no reason to tell her that he would likely not recall her even if they did someone bump into one another again. "Would you still like to go hunt down that mint?" He asked in a gentle voice, not wanting to press the issue in case she had changed her mind. |
