The slight awkwardness that had filled the air between them floated away easily once the conversation started and the ashen female gave him her name. Cassiela he repeated the name in his thoughts, his mind swiftly running to try and remember if he had ever encountered this woman before but came up empty. "A pleasure to meet you, Cassi" he replied with a small dip of his dark face. Once they both had reclined to sit, his sharp blue eyes studied her, watching her eyes flick over to his right side and the scar that transversed from the shoulder all down to the wrist along the front side of his leg, keenly picking up that she saw how the old wound was bothering him some even though he was trying not to show it. Drachen almost nodded in approval at the smaller woman's keen eye.
Cassi continued the conversation, telling him how she was a guest for a long time before just recently joining and a small chuckle danced in his muscular chest briefly. "I share a similar beginning here. I owed the previous Spirit a life debt for saving me when I had washed up on the eastern shore and I came to Valhalla to repay it.... Well, i stayed long after my debt was paid and finally joined." his hushed tones filled the air around them, rich and deep. He blinked his deep blue eyes once Cassi informed him that Ardyn had been the one suggest the ashen fae find him, and he listened with interest as she explained that she too had a background of scouting. Drachen studied her face casually but with a obvious sharp skill that one of his occupation would recognize if they knew what to look for. Was she like him? A beast of the shadows, calm and reserved during the day but a monstrous demon of fang and blood when given the order? No one knew the true purpose of his rank as a Mist, the term not even used with those outside of Ardyn and Aurielle. To the rest of the pack he was a scout and a hunter, no one knew his true and darker purpose that his past had trained him for. Did Ardyn see the same potential in the woman before him? I certainly need to speak with Ardyn and get caught up on things he thought to himself.
Cassi's voice drew him from his musing as she stated she just wanted to introduce herself to him while she had the chance as it seemed that they would both be out on scouting missions most likely at the same time. His dark lips then danced in a reserved but warm smile as he gave the woman a nod of his head in thanks before replying "Thank you for taking the time to find me. I look forward to working together. If there is anything you need, do not hesitate to ask. I am always open for a hunt or a training session." he extended the offer, genuinely eager to have another training and hunting partner. Speaking of which, the black and tan man made a quick mental note to find Cairo and ask the man for a hunt now that he would be back for some time before setting out on another mission.
