Gyrfalcon's Keep walking up the rocky path

Sure thing, thanks for the thread! Feel free to either reply once more or just archive :D

The man's reply caused Atreyu to look up at the craggy cliffs again, brow furrowing as he personally took on the challenge to one day scale the mountain and steal an egg or, perhaps, even a gyrfalcon itself. And then he'd travel to Swiftcurrent Creek and inform this man of what they tasted like. He nodded internally, accepting the challenge he just set himself, as if it was his responsibility to find out the taste of a falcon.

It was then the actual Outrider excused himself and Atreyu turned back to him with a small smile. He was saddened that he had to go but figured he had been gone for a long time and maybe his pack would be missing him. Was he on any sort of mission? Was Atreyu holding him up? With a nod, the boy quickly strode past the man and trotted back to the rock he had initially perched upon at the beginning of their meeting. Leaping up onto it, he then looked over his shoulder and offered a wide grin.

"Well, see you later, then," he farewelled before hopping off the rock to head back down the trail, disappearing from the man's view. What an informative interaction that had been.
