Ravensblood Forest grillwalker

Again, the man surprised Atreyu, offering him a place to stay for the night, along with the chance of a meal. His eyes widened slightly as Ragnar mentioned he was in fact the Alpha of...whatever Stavanger Bay was. He guessed it was a place and the word Bay had almost tripled his initial interest. The boy began to wonder if he had accidentally stumbled upon this Alpha's – or Jarl's – packlands. If he had, he thanked whatever Gods there were that the beast of a wolf was kind, or at the very least, tolerant of trespassers. Atreyu hadn't much experience with claimed homelands as his own family pack was of the wandering type, rarely settling down for more than a month at a time, but he knew crossing the borders of a pack's territory was ill-advised.

Dipping his head again, lower this time, out of respect, the boy considered both of Ragnar's offers. A den and promise of food – but he had to prove his worth if he wanted to stay – or a small hunt with the man. Atreyu glanced over the snowy-coloured male once more, certain he was more than capable of a successful hunt. Although he wouldn't admit it, the boy himself was a woefully incompetent hunter. His preferred method was fishing – where one relied more on sight than sound.

"So...this is your forest then?" he queried with a tilt of his head. Although Ragnar had mentioned he led Stavanger Bay, Atreyu remembered his mother explaining that packs could occasionally spread their reaches out to other lands too. Woah, a bay and a forest, the boy thought feverishly, his excitement taking over. A small part yet still yearned to explore further reaches, beyond the shoreline he had stuck close to. Perhaps the pack Ragnar led wandered too? Rolling his shoulders in a childishly haughty way, the boy gave a sort of shrug. "I'll consider your offer Rang...Ragn..." he paused, stumbling on the foreigner's name. His eyes shifted up towards Ragnar's marred face. "...Scarface." he added, grinning. "You can accompany me on a hunt, though, I was just about to, uh, grab a snack."
