San remarked on his state of wakefulness and the man huffed with amusement. "As are you."The woman no doubt thought that she was hiding her emotions, but someone as keenly observant as Bodin could see them shifting across her hardened features. She was thinking hard, but eventually spoke, deciding upon a fight. She then questioned if they would be fighting together and the giant grinned, teeth flashing even in the dark. "As if I'd let you go alone." With a pull of his skull, he motioned for the fae to follow. Being the hunter that he was, Bo read the winds, following the scent of the bear as it grew and waned. It was far off, but he doubted that she minded the journey. Their trek took them on a curling course through the pines. Having the woman beside him felt comfortable. It felt natural. Back home, there had been a few potential prospects of mates, but none had ever come to fruition. He hadn't found them interesting. All had been born and bred to serve, but Bodin had wanted more. Those women had been wet grass. Sanngridr was a blazing fire. A vast difference from the women of his homeland and he rather liked it. The scent of the bear became more pungent. They were getting closer. "What's keeping you awake?" He came right out and asked, wondering if she would tell him the truth or if she'd brush it off. Bodin wanted to know what made the woman tick. He wanted to know all of her. The pull towards San made him want to know every little thing about her, both the good and the bad. As the pair moved down the natural game trail between the pines, up ahead Bodin could hear the heavy breathing and groaning of their target. Along with the scent of bear came the scent of blood. It seemed as though the beast had made a kill... but it wasn't an herbivore. Ducked behind the low hanging branches of a wide reaching pine, Bodin placed a paw upon San's, both getting her attention and holding her back from attacking just yet. His voice was a low, soft whisper. "It's a wolf killer. We need to end it." Bodin would attack to kill and he wanted to make sure that the woman was on the same page. "Speech" |
