Rabbit Run

It did not take many millennia of experience using, creating and witnessing magic be used, to gauge that the wolf before him was something different. Unique. Or that someone was channeling magic through the creature, in what context he did not pry. Given his lack of a staff, it would be easy to pass himself off as a simple traveler if need be and until he was certain that those watching were not a threat? Revas knew he could not risk revealing his own capabilities, the wolf itself remained still at least for a moment and he waited with baited breath. For a reaction, a response of some kind that wasn't the being trying to rip his head off with claws and a sharp bite.

Thankfully, no attack ever came and the creature slowly approached. A flicker of a smile as his hand touched soft dark fur, clearly well cared for, someone's friend. Not just two wandering the wilds alone looking for a meal. Hello there da'fen, not such a worry now am I? I have a friend much like you, only he's a fair bit bigger. For that he got little more than a loud grumble and a nudge to his hand before the creature began moving, stopping once only to look back and that meant one thing. He was expected to follow. Far be it for him to question an intelligent being, he hadn't done so with other spirits or even Vergala. Nor was he about to start now.

Still he kept pace, well-maintained travelling leathers moving as he did. When covering such a distances alone, he left his heavier armor elsewhere, better to travel in something that would grant him movement in a fight. If it came to that. Though this forest was not one he knew well, moving through such paths posed little problem, such lands always seemed to carry a familiar pattern. No matter where in the world they were. A satchel upon his back and no visible weapons on his person, save a small cutting knife attached to said satchel for preparing meals, Revas liked to hope he presented a non-hostile visage. At least outwardly, even if magic constantly hummed faintly under his skin. Another part of his nature, different from those born into the world. Hopefully whomever would be the reasonable sort, and soon enough, he would get his answer.

The clearing was while unexpected, a sensible place, easily defensible. Well, they weren't totally foolish, that was nice. That the two he found as the wolf stalked back to the side of one of them were elves? Well it could make it easier, or worse. So you two are the friends of these two wolves, a pleasure. I was simply intending on travelling through this forest, so if you would rather I leave you both be, I can do so and trouble you no further. What they did was up to them, but if they wished to assure him not a threat before sending him off, he would not stop them. There was no need for him to poke his way into their business after all.
