Don't mind Ax he's just going through a bit of something at the moment @_@;;

Her jab at his show of companionship, whether it meant to or not, left a sour feeling in the pit of his stomach. Toward her sardonic response his charmed smile dried and the excited flicker within his eyes became extinguished. She, like almost everyone he'd met, seemed the type that found his chummy nature a waste of time. "I was trying to be," he said with a sudden coolness that did not belong to his typically welcoming voice.

Though he remained on Amekaze's side of the border he withdrew a few steps and pulled his flanks into a seating position. Air huffed between his lips - akin to blowing bangs from one's face - and he turned his gaze toward the wilderness. "It's lonely," he admitted to abide her inquiry. "The life here provides well enough but I think I've encountered rocks that made me feel more welcome than the wolves here."

Regretting his slight chill toward the swarthy femme, who possesses circumstances that he did not yet know, he raised one brow and regarded her with a sideward glance. "And you? How has the vagabond life been for you lately?"
