these battle scars don't look like they're fading

Since his run-in with the jackals, the man was looking for any way to pay Elias back for his help. It was the Apollyon that had saved him with both of his recent near-death experiences. He felt he needed to show his gratitude by proving himself worthy to Ruina and show Elias that he could always trust in him. Beast journeyed through the same area he'd met Elias in, letting himself bask in that memory before continuing his travels. He was eager to see more of the East, as this would be his new home. His travels brought him to Firefly Lake, a beauty the man had not had the chance to see yet. Gaze settled upon a stranger, one who seemed to be rather beat up like himself. Nothing seemed fresh on her, as he approached he could tell these scars were old.

This could be the perfect opportunity to bring home something for Ruina. A lamb, considering it was their time to harvest. However, the man was not quite sure how to go about that. From the looks of it, even with his current injuries, this lass would be easy to bring home. Perhaps he wouldn't have to fight her and merely had to take her back to Mount Volkan. Vale decided to approach the situation using his charm, which the man was lacking in. As the beast approached, his large paws made a loud splash in the water, making Vale flinch if only a bit. He was so on edge from his fight with the jackals, that he scared himself, how pitiful. Vale quickly bounced back to what he was doing and looked the girl over, he was now within a good five feet of her. He wasn't sure how he should introduce himself, so all that he manages was a gruff "Hey." It almost sounded like he was yelling at her.

"Talk."
