She was more spunk than Laike was used to. Everything from the way she moved over the land to how she kindly teased him had a certain way to it. He didn't mind it, not for a moment. While earlier he was uncomfortable under her gaze it didn't bother him as much now. In the large male's mind, she didn't pose a threat for him to worry about.
"Ain't much of me that's worth seeing if you ask me." He happily moved next to her. The River wolf had no idea where she was leading him but that didn't matter. "But you.." He thought silently to himself as his fiery eyes quickly glanced over her. Stunning coat, nice build, and those scars that matched his own. Laike wanted to ask where she got them, who did it, what happened but none of those seemed very appropriate to ask his company. Besides, if she hadn't inquired about his own maybe it was best he didn't do the same.
His ear flicked softly as she asked him about Heartwood River. Pale tawny head nodded softly to confirm her first question. "I plan on sticking around. That whole nomad life isn't for me." His voice was smooth and genuine. Laike would have never left home if he had the chance. "What about you, Miss Stranger? Do you hang around here a lot or did I just get lucky?" Fiery eyes shifted to look at her with a smile.
