Felltree Marsh i was in darkness

He could not outright say that he cared either way whether her pack appreciated his donation or not — it was all circumstance as far as he was concerned. He supposed that if none would have been around he might have buried it somewhere in the contemplation that he might have returned for it but he doubted it. He doubted he would come to this marsh again without reason and the corpse of a crane was barely reason ...though it was a purpose. Living for those simple purposes: sleep to rest, eat to battle hunger, drink to stave off thirst. They were simple, the most basic of basic but they were all purposes. They took him back to the root of all, to the very basic and primal core of existence. Routine motions to keep his life going but going where he didn't know. Anything beyond just surviving was an unknown abyss and if he spent too long trying to puzzle it out (though he had no idea how to go about deciphering it) he would likely go mad. Desires...dreams he had nothing for himself, no aspirations. Not except survival but that was simply life wanting to live.

A sage nod was given because it felt like the right thing to do though he wasn't sure. He wasn't trained to speak freely, to toss out the cue cards and improvise. So his eyes rose to her once more, cold silver gaze sweeping over her casually. He drew his tongue against his chops again, his ears slicking back to his skull, his docked tail giving a slow sweep (so to speak). She gave her name and for a moment Ghost simply stared at her, blinking slowly as he processed it. Banner. It was easy enough for the Ghost to remember though he was not so sure that being able to recall it at a later date would be necessary or not.

He did not usually take note of names beyond his targets but he let his gaze sweep over her once more, brows furrowed ever so slightly in intrigue as he tucked it away. Just in case. “Ghost.” The wraith spoke his “name” simply. It was not the name he had been called before The Officer but it was the only name The Officer had addressed him as and it became the wraith's only way of identifying himself outside of the false name; but this wasn't a mission and the false name had no play here.
