He told her he was travelling as needed, though he had thoughts of settling near an ocean. She smiled, nodding. The ocean was a lovely place. They had missed it while they were tied down inland, always drawing them back to hear the roaring of the ocean, crazy winds and the smell of salt on the air. It was home, whether she liked it or not. Now, it was all she had of her old world. That was a sad thought, wasn't it?
She was surprised at the sudden offer, enough to make her ears prick, but she was quick to smile again, genuinely happy at the offer. It was something offered freely, not a promise, not something to be tied to, just a simple offer to travel as far as she wanted with him, or at least that's how she interpreted it. Sometimes, it was better not to ask, and instead let time take its course and decide for her.
Sure, sounds fun! Or, freeing, I guess. It'd be nice for someone to have my back.Tasik was still a stranger, but the fact he stuck his neck out for her, also a stranger, was very telling. He was a good soul shielded by an icy exterior, someone who was good to have around. Hopefully once the weather warmed, she would be able to help him hunt properly, and not act as mere bait for any bites or kicks that came their way.
