"Fireside..."
I repeated softly while I worked. Fireside. Fireside. I'd have to keep that in mind whenever I decide to take a trek around that area. I didn't know if I planned on staying around here for long, but it sure couldn't hurt to know what I might be dealing with later on. At least now I had an idea of where to find him again.
"If I did have anything worthwhile to tell you about, where would I find you?"
If Fireside wasn't the name of his pack, then what was? I glanced over to Sirius and then back down. His stature seemed much calmer than he was before, just that thought alone pulled a quiet sigh from my lips.

"Ciel. My names Ciel Mortifico, by the way. I can't recall if I introduced myself..."
I rotated my sack in a spin while holding down the mouth of it to form a twist I could hold onto. I placed my paw on it softly to hold it in place before pausing to think. I just took on something that now I was having doubts about. Finding Dires? Even if it was just information about them that putting your soul at risk. I didn't yet have my father's height and I wasn't sure if I was ever going to at this point. I wasn't a fighter that was for damn sure. As disappointing as that made him, it empowered me to find other ways of doing things. But this? This I wasn't sure now if I was prepared for it, even if I was getting food out of it.
"Sir. If I may inquire about..."
I paused, searching for the words. My eyes subtly darting back and forth between specks on the ground while I thought. I wanted to know how it felt to be in their presence. To go toe to toe with an animal of that stature... to put your life on the line while knowing that you might not make it out. How did he even escape from that...?

"Mm.. Nevermind."
My confidence dwindled as I wondered if I even really wanted to picture that. Not again. Marshal made a sound off in the distance and my head snapped up to look toward the direction it came from.
"Sweet!"
I woofed rising back up to a standing position and felt my tail swing low behind me. I grabbed my sack between my teeth and bounded towards the bird, mouth drooling as a ran, and skidded to a stop where I figured the kill was taken. My eyes turned back towards the man.
"Can I just... take it? Or is he gonna try to peck at me?"
I barked back at him, taking a moment to look at the bird before finishing my sentence. Yeah, I tried taking food from a bunch of crows before. With the amount of fur that I lost from their beaks snapping away at my noggin the last time, I wouldn't be trying to do that again.
