His thoughts on this place were...not very high. The murky water left much to be desired by a man who had lived on a peninsula of lush life. Perhaps he could give it bonus points for at least having life, though. The scent of raccoons along the leafy plants that lined the banks and a fresher scent of deer.

He kept plodding along without much direction. Just...north. A steady pace and smooth rhythm carried him. Until he spotted someone. A rather large and solid figure. Lightly colored, but also not. He'd halt to watch them for a moment. Didn't much care to think if they might find him rude.

He was more interested in where they might be off to.

She didn't do much, but it was more than his stalking deserved. He'd make a move to stroll a bit closer to her position. He didn't intend to get into her personal space, just be close enough to better see and hear each other.

He very well could have said anything to be friendly. Instead he just inhaled deeply, examined her a bit better now. Then very gently returned her whuff with one of his own. Then began a slow, low and steady swing of his tail behind him.

It was the million dollar question, the same one he wanted to ask her. Passing by. Traveling. A slight roll of his shoulders. It's not my usual scene, but I figure there are better areas to see or settle, no? Spring and summer were meant for travel, in his eyes. Especially when everything was in bloom and there was so much to pick from. Still. A smart creature kept a home base.

And you? Perhaps she was like him.

He would gaze a bit behind her to try and spot the two hills she spoke of. Whether he saw them in full of not, his attention would drift back to her. More interested in conversation with the woman than longingly staring in the distance.

She'd earn a little laugh from him at her claim of this certainly being a place to walk through. He'd have to trust her on this.

Something stable, I suppose. Which...was not much to start with. In the land and structure wise. He didn't wish to live on some sinking river bank with a group of savages. Hills with family sounds nice. What's it like? Perhaps prying a bit much to see how much he could gleam about her little slice of land.

It sounded nice. Even if he wasn't given exact specifics, he was given enough to have a certain image in his mind of it. A small smile played at his lips.

A place to practice my healing skills as much as my fighting skills is important to me. I don't particularly want to be expected to do one thing and one thing only. He was not sure if he could confine himself to one interest. There was so much to do. So much to be acomplished in his life.

It would be a pleasure to have students. The more there are that are trained, the safer and healthier we can all be. Of course, not everything could be cured or helped with but...it would certainly help in times like now. When new life was bustling about and activity in the world seemed to pick up more.

Then she asked a question that had thoughts bouncing in his brain. What might she like to know? What was worth sharing and what might bore her into chasing him off?

Well, I'm Vidar Archer from Torbine. Left to see and learn more. Although I don't think wandering is exactly my forte. To hint that he might not be much of a scout if she ever needed one. I'm just ready to apply myself somewhere. Somewhere that wasn't Torbine. Not that he had anything against home, but it was easier to learn more away from where you had always been.

It all sounded wonderful. Of course he wanted to be recognized for what he did and a place to achieve his goals.

You're building something great that I am honored to be able to align myself with. Although it would seem he would need to find out what he truly desired. His biggest and first goal to reach so that he might be aligned to meet it. I will have an answer for you soon.

He would be happy to answer anything else she might wish to ask him, or simply carry on the trip back in comfortable silence.
