He smiles, his whiskers spread out as he preens. "But of course! Where else should I be headin' for?" His smile, however odd, is genuine. I am smiling, too, to see it.
It's been some time since. My lips crack a little.
"Well, it seems very far, but perhaps we could travel together to pass the time?" It's only polite to offer, & he seems pleasant & clever. "Are you on an adventure? The tower is-" And I pause, for I don't remember what the tower is. Important (poisoned) surely, but it should be something.
He pulls a piece of meat from his satchel & offers it to me as a... favor? "Eat that before you attract something else even more hungry than yourself." Hm, tricky, but perhaps kind. I bow to him again. "If you offer it freely, then I accept," & I am smiling again.
I kneel & lean forward, taking the chicken into my mouth. I am careful to not make a mess, though it is difficult. It seems it's been so long since I've eaten. "Thank you, it was very good." I lick my lips, not wanting to miss any crumbs.
A distant wind whines, & a touch of cold. There's a scent beyond the chicken, beyond the woods that I don't...
"Do you know if there is a river nearby? We should have some water for the journey." I feel the need to keep moving. Things moving in the woods.
