Ruth was more likely to spin a tale than discuss the circumstances of his mother's death. It didn’t make for a good campfire conversation for one thing, so he was grateful for the change towards a mutual friend. His grin turned mischievous. “I’m almost hurt, he didn’t mention me? Tsk. I obviously wasn’t being my most unforgettable self last time. I’ll remedy that for next time.”
The response to his flirting only brought out a further chuckle from the healer. Sometimes a reaction was enough to sate him, especially when one had been dangling mid-air by a leg for some time. Ruth shifted instead, attempting to gain a more comfortable reclined position. Still, he could restrain himself entirely. “I’d offer my meat, but that’s a different kind of hunger,” snickering, “I might have something, gimme a sec.” Hands went in search, pilfering through a few outside pockets before pulling out a wrapped up piece of meat. He’d sniff it for good measure, “should be okay.”
After tossing it over, Ruth would only shrug. “Not sure everyone agrees. I certainly didn’t want a passenger, and I’m certain the spirit with me is most disappointed with its luck in host.” Ruth wouldn’t wish himself on anyone, he was continually surprised that some of his friends, though still few and in single figures, tolerated him as it was.
