Though the monolith forest was interesting, and a beautiful sight to behold, the bounty hunter could not help but feel dissatisfied with his fortune. He would have to turn back and hope he could pick the scent up again. If he pressed forward, there was a good chance he was only moving further away from his prey.
He turned, and when he did, his dusky gaze landed at once on a pale figure in the distance.
He moved, picking his way carefully down from his perch and trotting on sure legs in her direction. He did not hurry, giving the stranger time to flee or warn him away. This pace had the added benefit of concealing his limp more thoroughly.
"It's a quite place," he said idly, his voice rough from lack of use. There was a hoarse, airy quality to it that left the impression that he did not want to be overheard. Sotto voce. If the stranger looked closer, she might see the necklace of naked scars he wore around his throat. "Do you get many visitors?"
