With interest, he watched as she accepted his trade; she seemed so uncertain about it even while she was pulling the doe from him, he thought. As she tenderly took her bites, he nearly smirked as, to him, it appeared that she was attempting to uphold some level of class. He'd seen this behavior before, but not with rogues and she certainly smelled rogue. Royals. He wondered if she were a runaway princess or perhaps simply just an admirer of that sort of lifestyle- someone who seeks to be noble by their own means.

Molten gaze found her own again as his meaty lips tugged into a half grin,
He may not have been fat enough to be considered 'obese' anymore, but the evidence that he once was still held on to his form. His stomach was still covered in lose skin, but his thick fur made him plush despite however unattractive he might be.
