If not for the darkened tones of the backdrops, he thought she would have rightly disappeared into the world ahead. It takes but a moment for her to halt and look upon him, and it is in those moments to follow that he closes in the distance between them easily. His ears fanned back as he regarded her better—she is beautiful, but there is something decidedly wild about her that he dares not place; she is weatherworn and hardened by experience, something he could mirror, and did.
"Such uncomfortable times to travel in," he offered, "have you been on the trail long?" It is a gently inquiry, but he does not mask that he is curious of her as much as he is about what he is out there for, and by extension what draws her there too. To think at one point he thought the flatlands a potential refuge is sour humor now—the land is ragged and torn and here, the stillness plays a deafening, solemn toll.
From there, they talked for a small while before ultimately going their separate ways.
