Did she have far to go?
He blinked, mind whirring away because Emrys just asked him a good question. The kind of question that made Cottongrass stop everything he was doing just to think. Because good questions deserved good answers, and rarely did he ever have one of those just laying around. So he settled down against the hard snow, resting back against his haunches while letting out a thoughtful hum.
"I don't know." He finally admitted, because Vic was there one moment and not the next which left his mind to fill up the gaps. And his mind said she wouldn't be long, just a few days of him being alone before their search could restart. That was the answer he liked the best, which meant it was the right one. It worked out in his mind somehow. "She probably won't be long, though." Behind him his tail wagged in the snow and he smiled at Emrys. There was just no way Vic would have abandoned him forever, after all. That would be silly.
His head cocked when Emrys asked him another question, and he found that he could only give the man a goofy smile. "A fun one." He chirped, perking back up and straightening his posture. Because pfft, what kind of question was that? It wasn't like he didn't know there were even types of adventures or anything, much less the one he might have been on...
One of his ears twitched and his mind wandered, even if he was pulled back a moment later to the new topic at hand. "Hmm..." He frowned, brows burrowed and ears rolling back against his head while he thought. "Do little animals count? 'Cause if so, I've hunted plenty." His tail gave a thump behind him, and he gave Emrys a curious stare with his head cocked.
