Raven's Watch Shinåb

The sight of her tender paws made him wince, ''Tsk, that's no good. It seems you might need to take a break.'' Whether she was able to or not, was another situation entirely, and not one he felt as though he could pose the question for. Though he had been travelling a fair distance himself, Wormwood had always ensured himself breaks. Did she find taking time to stop, an unworthy pursuit?

If she'd asked, he wouldn't have minded - it was a goofy name after all, but the only one he had. Her name intrigued him, huh. Ayovi Ankgunquint.. ''Never heard of a two-namer before.'' His words were genuine, not poking fun. ''Good name.'' A slight toothy grin, before her next question caused his head to tilt.

''Ah, slacking my pace in comparison to you. But been alone for a few months now, is what it is. How about you, you venturing alone?'' Whether it was the water in his nose, or the muck, he was unable to pick up any scents clinging to her pelt. His stocky build made the slight effects of hunger unnoticeable from a distance, but if one were to get close, the dips in his fur were easily noted. The ache of hunger made him often be on the move, not that the pay out was ever worth the energy used in hunts.
