Neverwinter Forest said he was a sailing man

Luhtar must have been following Solharr since he was a child, the bounty hunter decided, extrapolating from what little he'd learned thus far. It was difficult for Catamaran to imagine, but he did his best in the moments before Luhtar turned a question on him. One that made his ears stand at attention, if only so that he would not be tempted to splay them back.

"To live," he replied. His tone did not change. It seemed almost that he had no more to say, but as soon as his coral gaze drifted back to their surroundings, he went on: "To keep the territory safe. To keep the wolves here fed."

That was all. He was not closed to the idea of making friends in this place. He even felt a small kernel of appreciation for Solharr. But his main directive was to survive the winter, and to keep himself busy while doing so. It was not feasible to seek out a bounty at a time like this, when the hunting of both wolves and more traditional prey would be more difficult on his own.

"I am a bounty hunter," he said, wondering if this would clarify anything for the other man. "But, the harkonungr has enlisted me for other services this winter."
