Hushed Willows It worked...! I mean-- of course, it worked!

It was impressive what Trick knew, what he had learned in his time alone. Stark was curious of course and he pressed on, wanting more information from the male but there was time. No need to bombard him right then. "I spent most of my energies while I was alone learning how to track and hunt alone. Fishing, trapping - stuff like that. The plants though, it's definitely interesting to me, just didn't find many people who knew more than what to avoid." He had been alone long enough that he'd made due, his size given the state of the Wilds proved that enough. 

"I left about the same age. I'm not gonna say it's for everyone, but, I've learned more than I ever would had I stayed." Stark said evenly, pausing only to anoint another rock. He kept up with Trick, offering a small grin to the male. "Thanks for inviting me along, by the way." He wasn't sure if he'd actually shown his appreciation or not.
