All is Violent, All is Bright [Alarik]

This woman, Pyralis, said she didn't think the two of them looked anything. "Not you and I, perhaps," he said. "Maybe this woman knew another member of your family. And her name was Mercy, to answer your question. Tall woman, white with black markings." He said, offering a brief description in case the name didn't ring a bell for her. He had to say, besides the fact that she was a bit rough around the edges, this Pyralis was so far proving to be pretty harmless. He felt more at ease the more time he spent around her. But he knew better than to let his guard down completely. He didn't doubt that a clever woman like her could easily pretend to be friendlier than she really was.

But, for now, she made good company. And Alarik wasn't about to turn down a hunting partner. He shook his head in response to her question. "No, I'm just passing through. But on my way to this ravine I passed through several miles of prairie, no doubt we could find something there." It was less than an hour away, if she didn't mind a short walk to get the meal they desired.
