Aresenn nodded in acknowledgment of the greeting. It left him casually listening along as the other brute went on to offer insight into what he was doing. It wasn’t until he was offered the same inquiry at the referral of boy, that he perked up. His amber eyes narrowed in annoyance for a moment before hesitantly responding. “… Much the same, I suppose. Just wandering about.” Taking time away for himself before returning to his journey north with Sephiran- but that was a mouthful to try and explain to a perfect stranger.
This interaction wasn’t turning out to be one of substance. Casting a quick glance over his shoulder from the direction he came, he contemplated heading back off on his own. And the longer he thought about it, the better of an idea it became. Clearing his throat, he returned his attention back to the seemingly familiar stranger. “Apologies. In the shadows at a distance, you looked like someone I know.”Clearly, he was mistaken. And now that he was growing bored, he couldn’t rationalize sticking around for much longer.
