I stood up myself, dusting off my coat from where I had been sitting. I - hadn’t actually been particularly hungry, but had taken food so that the dhampir girl wouldn’t feel too out of place and awkward about eating by herself. If she was done - or as done as she would get - then that meant I no longer needed to keep up the pretense of eating myself.

“Well. Then it seems that this is concluded.” I studied her for a long moment, tilting my head to the side, eyes narrowed behind my glasses. She seemed upset - I couldn't blame her. People usually didn't like it when they ran into someone who lived blatantly in defiance of one of their worldviews. I didn't hate the thought of love - I just did not believe myself in a place suitable for romance or real connections. I ran too much risk of dying in a ditch somewhere becoming a meal for some monster or another. I would not do that to a loved one, would not scar their hearts like that. She claimed that I should anyway - but I refused to let someone love me when there was a chance that one day I would just disappear.
Hells, I didn't even have friends at the academy. Friendships were - not for me, it seemed. But that was fine - I had a very, very long life ahead of me if I didn't end up falling to claw or fang or blade. Love could come later in my life. As for friends, I would just content myself with allies in the Hunt. I didn't need more, despite what this hopeful dhampir might believe. I cleared my throat.

“You still desire my return to you, to verify that you have not fallen to your blood lust, Kara?” I tilted my head to the other side. I was examining her, watching her movements and her body language.

She jumped slightly at my voice, had I caught her off guard? Her green/gold hues swirled with mixed emotions. Slowly she nodded her head causing her curls to bounce.”Yes..” I folded my arms across my chest and nodded once, slowly.

“Very well then. Do you have a residence you desire me to locate you at, or would you prefer a neutral meeting ground?” If she had a nest - a home, I suppose - then knowing where it was might be.. Good.

“I have a home nestled in the mountains, I stay there from time to time.” She nodded her head towards the North. Well. That would be enough for me to track her down. I took off my hat and held it against my chest as I bowed, sweeping my left hand out and away from myself as I did.

“Well then, Kara. I will return to you later - unexpectedly, I do believe. It would be better if you didn't know when I was coming. It will… help keep you steady, knowing I might always be watching.” Behind my mask, I grinned. I stood back up straight and replaced my hat. “Perhaps in time we will figure out a way for you to call me if you feel it is necessary. Alas, in this land, I know of no such options. I have no talent for magical things.” I rolled my shoulders in a shrug. Perhaps she might, but I, did not.

She nodded softly, “there are shops here that have such things. Until next time Huntsman.” I gave her a firm nod, be fire turning and heading back towards town. I would have to look into these stores that might have what I needed, then. Hm. I picked up my pace, breaking into an easy jog as I headed back towards the town.
