Rhysis had been meandering around close-by, with no real purpose in mind. He’d had a busy day of doing nothing and had run into no one, which was a little unusual for him; still he wasn’t going to complain, it had been nice to wander the lands outside of his den, to see new sights and sounds and his senses were highly stimulated thanks to his lone adventures today.

He’d been about to leave the area when a lonesome howl erupted into the air. The tone wasn’t familiar to him, it must have been a stranger and he supposed he should probably answer the call- it could be someone useful after all. With his head raised to the sky, he emitted a melodic howl in response before his paws took him in the direction his ears had detected the voice had come from.

Rhysis was coming.

And it wasn’t long before the silver wolf was in his sights; he spied her through the thickets, laying in a ball but didn’t approach too close, he wouldn't want to alarm her now would he. With his “Mr. Nice Guy” expression and personality in place, he cleared his throat to let his presence be known. ”Ahem… Hi there. Hope I’m not intruding…”

"Surprised you? I thought you were calling for some company when you howled..." he said, somewhat confused and showed that with a tilt of his head. He took a moment to sniff the air then, there was something a little off about the female but from this far away he couldn't see the damage, but he could certainly smell it. Blood was unmistakable to a predator. He took another long drag from the air before he replied calmly. "I'm Rhysis... and you're injured, right? Is that why you called?" He said, bluntly as usual as he allowed himself to come a little closer. He narrowed his dead grey eyes to try to make out more of her though the shadows and twigs of the brambles she lay within, but it didn't help much.

Ignoring the blood, he took another inhale of the air and determined her scent was singular; she wasn't a pack wolf and it was almost tedious to have bumped into another loner. It appeared loners littered these lands and none of them were very useful for this plans. Still, the large male had time to kill and he could humour her- besides, when the time came to gather his pack he could always do with more allies.

The pied female slowly drew herself from the brambles and he had a chance to rake his steel gaze over her and took in every detail for analysis. He already knew she was a loner, she was injured but could now see it was a gash to the shoulder which could be quite serious should it get infected, though from the look of it the wound was recent and she seemed to be happy to deal with it herself- it wasn't like Rhysis was going to offer to help her out, he just wasn't into helping others.

"Nah I don't live here, I was just passing through when I heard ya howl. So how'd you manage to do that to yourself?" he asked as he arched a brow in question. He lowered himself to sit, somewhat relaxed. He didn't feel she was in much of a position to fight and though he was taller then her, she had a little more body weight behind her- still, any injury could be exploited and that shoulder would be a heavy burden to battle with. He wasn't making any threat though so wasn't convinced it would come to blows, especially with how light the topics had been so far.

"...Right." His eye cocked again as he took a glance to the tree she gestured to. He found it almost unbelievable that you could hit a tree during a hunt; it utterly confused him. He noted it for future reference, should he get his pack together he didn't want wolves who when hunting, ran into trees. He'd have to scratch her off his list and from there, he didn't feel the need to take this conversation further then it needed to go.

That was until she asked him a very personal question... one that no one had actually ever asked him and in doing so, threw him a little. "Er- no. I live alone." he replied slowly with a flick of his ear. He supposed he should ask the same, it was always handy to know if the wolf you might kill would be missed, it made cleaning up the trail easier. Not to say he was going to attack, he didn't feel the need to and she wouldn't benefit him in any way- it would be best to part smoothly at this point. "Do you?"

"Well you asked... so I asked." he replied bluntly, but before he had the chance to say anything else she told him to stay still and vanished. His logical brain was struggling to understand what she was up to; she seemed a little scatty, a bit all over the place going here and there, asking random questions and then vanishing. It was really odd; it was a good job he was in a placid mood, else he'd have left or snapped a long time ago.
He wasn't alone for long though as the silver female replied with a cold rabbit between her jaws, which she dropped right in front of him. As she had been approaching he felt his muscles bunching out of habit, he didn't like being close to others, his past had led him to believe that being close to another meant pain was coming... luckily the female dropped the animal then scurried backwards, it was a wise move- he didn't like close contact.
His grey gaze dropped to the rabbit by his paws then before he looked back up to her. She teased him then and he simply blinked- why on earth was she offering him a free meal? No one ever gave anything away for free, especially not to him. What was the catch he wondered? He didn't make a move to eat it, he was too confused by the gesture for he'd never known kindness. "Why are you giving it to me? What you do want for it?" he asked.
