Alta
"One of the comrades you mentioned?"
*Finishing up the two hares, she began cracking open the bones and sucking out the marrow idly, eyeing Terrel as she threw the hollow ones onto the fire.*
Vanessa
"You can say that."*He answered.*"Pretty nice guy, haven't seen him from some time now, but I'm sure he's getting along just fine wherever he is. You tend to meet a lot of people who come and go while traveling, so never know when you may meet them again."
Alta
"We'll see how I do, then. You're the only one I've seen for more than a day."
*She sighed, growling quietly as she threw the last of the bones atop the blaze, taking a broken bolt and cleaning the gaps in her teeth.*
"You seem more travelled than you let on, when I get you talking. I'm sure you've heard *That* Before."
Vanessa
*Terrel smirked out her, giving a light shrug to her comment.*"You'd be surprised."*He said.*"I've yet to see much reason to talk about my travels."*Perhaps it was from the lack of have many to talk to between a lot of his trips or how little he said in most spaces that kept him quiet in a lot of circumstances. He wasn't sure himself though she wasn't wrong about it.*
Alta
"...Suppose it depends if you have somewhere to go back to, people to tell your stories to."
*Her voice lowered as she began to staunch the fire, bringing up a tender subject for the both of them. While she had chosen to leave, there was little waiting back on that archipelago. But at least she had people who would welcome her home...*
Vanessa
*Terrel drew silent for a moment, the hint of smugness fading in turn. Despite the way he had left, he wouldn't doubt that there was at least someone back at home willing to hear stories. He liked to think so anyways, but as far as life back at home went, he always seemed to evade most questioning towards it.*"You're probably right."*He said in a matter of fact tone, thinking just for a moment of what he would do if he returned home. This whole journey would have felt like a dream in finally getting to go out and see the world as much as he had been insisting to go, but to return back? Terrel wasn't too sure if he was ready to face what was waiting for him there.*"I think I'd like to continue traveling just a little longer though."*He said thoughtfully.*
