"As long as we find this a mutually beneficial partnership, I see no need to draw any lines at the season's turn." Balthazar answered. There was no telling how long his search would last, where the trail would lead him nor what turns it would take. Besides, if he had to toss the kid in a ditch next week or three months, it didn't make much a difference to him.
Balthazar's sharp ears perked at the wolf's one stipulation. He wondered at the reason, was there something dangerous in those woods, or was he simply bitter or otherwise superstitious with regards to something there? Nonetheless, he nodded. If his search lead him there, they would part ways. They weren't a mated pair, there was no reason to attach themselves at the hip.
Balthazar too rose to his paws, ducking his head down in his own nod of agreement. "It's settled then. I believe this will be quite a profitable partnership." He said, looking quite pleased.
"Oh! Yes, how rude of me to forget my manners. I'm Azar Hawke." He introduced himself.
