Among Giants

Zinnia's genuine interest in his family pleased him more than he dared show. Loyal followers that weren't blood-related seemed a hard thing to come by, so Typhon would value her membership in the Empire, as long as she chose to stand by them. And what a fine choice she's made, he thought to himself, pleased that his family had grown enough to convince mortals that they were worthy of being followed. Not that he'd ever doubted it himself - but he knew obtaining devoted followers was no easy feat.

She seemed relieved that she wasn't alone in being unfamiliar with the terrain, and a faint, distant smile pulled at his lips. The canyon might not be his ideal territory to reside it, but it was strategic and Typhon could only think the gods had put them here for a reason. There was no use questioning it, but instead he must adapt and overcome. The first step, apparently, was getting used to the terrain and the prey it held. He listened to her story, nodding. He couldn't help but wonder why she had left her family, something he could never fathom - unless ordered to, of course - but he wouldn't question it.

Perhaps.. they could start their explorations of this place now? Zinnia, at least, seemed interested. Briefly he visually scouted out their surroundings before turning his attention back to her. "Let's grab a bite to eat now, then," he offered - though there was a hint of command in his voice that he didn't bother to hide. For now they would hunt, and he'd try to get to know this female a bit better.
