"Mm."
I hummed in response to the womans' account of her brother and sister's interests. It caused a flash of a moment when I was younger and my older sister would be there to help me with my training when my father wasn't around. My eyes fell as I felt a pang of regret over leaving her behind. That was something, maybe the only thing that I regret doing when I left his watch for good. I sighed and nosed a few pieces of bark out of the way, grabbing a couple in my mouth, and moved back over to my workstation. It wasn't going to help thinking about her now, it'd only bring up feelings of missing of what used to be and I couldn't do a thing about that now. So it was a waste. I dropped the pieces of bark in a metal dish shallowly filled with water before looking around for my bag. The woman then started to speak about something that piqued my interest, causing me to drop the satchel in my mouth and look over to her with a kindled curiosity.
"These strange animals... Were they big wolves?"
I swallowed, pushing my ears forward to hang onto any information that she had about them. "Dire wolves?"
I said immediately after, taking a step in her direction. My head tilted slightly up in her direction, my eyes shining with the hope that I'd actually be able to learn something here. "And... You mentioned an ice bridge?"
That was certainly new. I didn't have enough time here in this area to know what was the difference between up and down, left and right, a Boreas from a bubble. "Do you know where it is?"
I bit the inside of my cheek lightly noticing my eagerness. Hesitantly I took a deep breath and pulled back, falling into a sit. I couldn't help it... At first this was just about getting a meal. But then this just started getting more and more interesting as time went on."Speech"
