King Elk Forest all the things

“Personally, I think that hunter and mercenary are a bit overused in terms of trades,” Mato admits. Of course, he understands their usefulness, the roles they play and he would never begrudge a wolf from wanting to be a hunter and mercenary, if that is what makes them happy. He, himself, strives for guardian though only because it strikes him as practical for his title. He is not a fighter, no, but he would go to war to protect Tindómë. He would kill for them, die for them to keep them safe, if that was what it took. “Hm, sounds like Naturalist might work well for you, then. Geologist, perhaps, for a specialty.” Geologist was more for earth but Mato counted water in there as well. It was a general subject, in his opinion. Mato had once strove for geologist but abandoned it in pursuit of focusing upon mercenary and his astronomer specialty. Perhaps, one day, he might resume it but for now he had to limit himself lest he accidentally spread himself too thin. “It’s very useful knowledge to have,” Mato muses sincerely. “My birth pack could have used your knowledge when their water source became poisoned and the wolves began to fall ill.” As far as Mato was aware no one had died and that was extremely lucky; fortunately for the druid himself, he’d been traveling with the Vale when that had went down.
