"Yep," Anais answered proudly, confirming for Pyrros that she had indeed spoken correctly. Hunter was definitely what she considered herself of all the jobs out there that she could have chosen, and she thought it suited herself incredibly well. She was far too squeamish to be a healer like Lior, nor could she keep her cool under that kind of pressure. And neither did she really possess the hardness and strength of a fighter the way her brothers did. No, hunting was something she could do, and something she could do well. It was her calling, and she planned to follow it through for the rest of her life.
She was oblivious to the male's eyes as they roved across her frame, unaware of the way in which he seemed to size her up in regards to the comments she had made. As is finding himself satisfied with his inspection, he appeared to melt back upon the ground, his head lowering and his eyes closing with a look that spoke of contentment. The question he asked drew about another smile from the girl to the answer the one he gave, a little chuckle following just a second in delay. "I'm not sure there's much to be hunted here," Anais admitted a bit regrettably. She would have been more than willing to show off her skill for a curious observer, maybe even a little more so because he had complimented her yet again, but being unfamiliar with this dry terrain she was unsure what sort of game, if any resided here. As it was, it seemed a miracle already that the river had even had fish within it.
Noting that he still refused to open his eyes, that he looked so comfortable there where he lay, she felt a little stirring of unease. Was she being a bother? Did he want her to leave so that he could rest undisturbed? He had invited her over to join him, but maybe things had changed... "Did you want to rest?" she asked quietly, trying to be as little of a nuisance as she could. "If you'd like, I could go and let you rest?" Her offer was spoken in question, feeling slightly disappointed she might have to set off again so soon but also trying to be considerate of whatever the male wanted to do as well.
