Neverwinter Forest dustbowl dance

Sorry this is late and short aah...

A mottled wolf came in to view, his posture giving Asa a reason to pause and think. They looked a little irritated as they strode close, and when the boy spoke - aside from highlighting his youth - it confirmed Asa's suspicions.

Sorry, he started, shaking his head softly. I was gonna call. I'm huntin' for someone though, and I thought that... If they were in the woods here, maybe that'd spook them. But no, not a hobby. He smirked at the thought though; how many wolves had passed through here with the same behaviors, if this is how the boy responded to them? If this was a hub of activity in the valley, maybe Asa's pursuit was nearing a conclusion. He was very wrong about that - but there was still hope.

I'll leave. I just have a question first - has anyone with the name of Crestwood come through here? His attention was firmly focused on the young leader, but besides that there was no challenge to his gaze and even a slight slackening to his own posture, hoping to alleviate any tension.
