"Right, I caught a nice one, big and health" *He said quite proud of the deer on his shoulders* "Hopefully it'll fetch quite a sum..."
*He looked towards the view in front of him* "I would get pretty sick of not having meat quite quickly now that I think of it"
Joan
"Nice game you've caught there, hunter.." 
A deep voice resonated behind Kibaru, almost eerily calm.

 Had the hunter turned around he would see a dark-furred canine beastkin, a single crimson eye gazing at him. He was covered in a ragged cloak across his body, obscuring all the intricate details underneath. While his clothing stood out as no more than a peasant, his posture emanated with an underlying threat, as if the man had gone through a lot, and was more dangerous than he seemed. 

"Care to share some with a starved brother?"
Wayne
*He would turn around his would ears twitching. Behind him his four fluffy tails swayed slightly more as the stranger asked for some food* "Certainly, though depending on how I'm feeling, it might even be free"

*His clothing was a tattered, but it was clean none the less. His blue jacket had a shine to the deep blue with the purple markings clearly standing out. His pants was torn just under his knees and his feet was wrapped in white cloth. His mask wasn't on as he wasn't quite expecting to run into anyone, but it seemed like he didn't even noticed*
Joan
"And what would convince you to share that venison for free?" The dark beast inquired, his own ears flicking underneath his hood. Facial features were dimming under the evening sun, toning his glimmering eyes... And horns? A paired of sharp, sanguine horns that no canifor would normally have laid on top of his head, much more similar to an oni's. He had no mask to hide behind, or anything besides his tattered cloak. No less wary of stranger that he'd been drawn to at the prospect of a free meal, he still maintained a confident posture, light smirking shaping on the edge of his lip.
Wayne
*He smiled at his question* "Quite simple, not a bad of a deal if I might say so"

*He would look around and sniff some in the air and get a better sense of his surroundings*
Joan
An odd metallic scent was coming from the beastkin's direction, being able to only catch a distinct hint of it through all the humidity across these plains. He seemed to raise a brow at the sniff, subtly following suit before continuing.
"Go on."
Wayne
"Well, I am quite hungry myself, so if you could find me some herbs for cooking I'll be willing to cook us both something up to eat" *He said now looking for a place to cook the meal*
Joan
"I can do that. I am not familiar with these plains, but they should have a few familiar herbs and spices for cooking meat." He affirmed, certain of his own ability to track down what he needed.
Wayne
*Kibaru simply tasked him to find some herbs because he didn't know which to choose right now, he wanted to try something a bit more random and this was his chance* "Very well"

*He then saw a patch that would be good enough to make a fire and wasn't to close to any plantations*
Joan
Well, he had a part to play in that, and not one that would be particularly difficult. Being a carnivore himself, he was no stranger to the scent of specific herbs and spices used with meat, a scent he would use to track them down in the plains. It might have taken him less than half an hour to find several branches of each carefully severing them before he'd bring them back where he'd last seen Kibaru.

"Those will do for now. For what it's worth, at least they're fresh."
Wayne
*He would have already started a small fire and gather some wood* "Thank you, that should work nicely" *He then hold his hand out to greet the stranger as he had just realized he hasn't introduced himself* "Name's Kibaru"
Joan
"You may call me Jackal." He returned, reaching out one arm for the handshake. Only now would he be able to see that his had was clad in some sort of armor, blackened steel of a sinister shape coiled around it. He wouldn't take the chance to say his real name to a stranger he'd just met, especially in Silnaria where he was likely to have a bounty on his head already, considering previous... Events.
Wayne
*The same case would have applied with Kibaru as he usually goes by Okami to strangers, but he was to deep in though.*

"Strange name, but nice to meet you" *He observed the armor for a bit* "Prefer to to battle or is it just for protection?"
Joan
"Likewise... I use it for battle when I must, though it serves as a grim reminder more than anything else." The dark beast muttered as he sat by the campfire, distracting himself by grinding and spreading herbs on the venison. The truth about his armor had been far too convoluted to discuss with a stranger, but that is the least he could offer for sharing a meal with him.
Wayne
"Well I prefer to do battle without armor, it kind of feels slow. Not my cup of coffee exactly" *He said as he moved around, picking up twigs and other nearby wood*
Joan
"Armor has its uses, it's kept me alive for that long, for what it's worth. Though I don't wear enough of it that it would impair my movement." Meanwhile, he kept on helping out with preparations, grinding the herbs into dust and flaying the venison with precision using a short blade from his cloak.
Wayne
"Well... I have been thinking of maybe getting some armor for my feet and arms" *He then came and threw more wood on the fire* "So, how do you want it cook Jackal?"
Joan
"I've always had issues with footwear... Though at least that way I remain quick and silent on my feet." The beastkin chuckled at the question, flying the remaining pelt away to make sure the food could be cooked properly. "I'm likely not the best advisor for that. I could eat it raw for all I care, but mild crispyness would be appreciated." Using a few branches and a small rope he had, he pierced the venison with a metal rod before placing it above the campfire with several calculated movements. Any mercenary who had to survive nights in the wild would have to learn basic cooking skills, and he was no exception.
Wayne
"I see you at least know the basics. Let me guess, cold hard nights alone?" *He asked as that was basically how he learned to cook to, but he had a wilder aprouch to cooking at times. He would then sit in front of the fire taking a deep breath in of the meat* "Mmm, not bad"
Joan
"Too many." He sighed, raising a brow before going back to setting up the meat. Fresh blood dripped from the freshy-flayed venison, causing the campfire to sizzle with every small drop. Yet the pleasant scent of cooked meat and spice would soon permeate the air around the two. "This part never gets old at least."
Wayne
"Indeed" *Kibaru said as his tails wagged slightly, but he made sure not to kick up dust and his tails were brushed often for there not to be any loose hairs flying of* "Now you have me trapped"
Joan
"Heh. You trapped yourself on that, if anything." The dark beast chuckled, weaving the meat around to make sure every side would be well cooked and crisped, all the while teasing both of them with its overwhelming smell.
Wayne
"Yeah, I kinda did, didn't I" *He said a bit proud at his catch* "I can't wait to get eating" *He said as his stomach supported his notion with a growl*
Joan
"Soon enough." Jackal retorted, weaving the now roasted meat for a few final touches. Taking a small cut out of it, he had a small taste, making sure it was well done. He pulled back his hood to reveal the brisk features beneath.
Wayne
*Kibaru whimpered a bit as he had a tasted and he dreuled a bit. He was waiting, keeping himself in to not just grab it and stuff himself*
Joan
"Seems ready, dig in." He finally stated, cutting it in several parts to the point either could grab a piece easily to enjoy. Spiced venison, can't go wrong with that.
Wayne
*Kibaru happily to some and began to stuff his mouth with his tails wagging faster* "Mmm, thanks man, this is quite different from what I'm use to"
Joan
"Hmm, not my finest work, but still better than making with night on an empty stomach." He commented, his finesse in table manners lacking significantly in comparison to his cooking skills. "So what is an okami doing in the middle of elven territory?" The beastkin finally asked, his tone turning more serious
Wayne
"Well I..." *He went silent not knowing whether or not he should tell* 
"Well, to begin with, I am a hunter and merchant, so I catch and sell" *He wasn't lying, but that wasn't the main reason*
Joan
"I see..." He muttered, seemingly unconvinced. "I do some hunting of my own, though not exactly the same kind as yours." The dark beast savored few more bites out of the roasted meat. "I don't plan to stay here long. The elves aren't particularly known for their hospitality, especially when it comes to my kind. I suppose I should be thankful I ran into you instead."
Wayne
"Same" *He said in a sigh of relieve. He has had countless of misunderstood encounter himself, many of which he would have been happy to fight out of if he was a bit more stupid and didn't care about having a bigger bounty*
Joan
The dark beast finished the rest of his meat share quiteetly In a few bites, razor sharp canines effortlessly chewing through meat and bone alike. "Don't reckon you happen to know any place to spend the night around here, do you? Well, without having to deal with scornful elves, that is."
Wayne
"Mmmm, maybe, but I don't think the misses would like unannounced guests" *He said talking to himself, but he was talking out loud without noticing it again. He would then think of nearby inns he had no trouble crashing in*
Joan
"I can make do with making the night out in the woods, wouldn't be the first time either." Jackal exhaled, crossing his legs. "Can't say I'm fond of this humidity compared to a real bed though."
Wayne
"Well I'd much rather sleep outside then deal with any inn with their discussing odors... Pretty sure there is an inn that way that you could call it a night" *He said pointing in a direction*
Joan
"I shall keep that in mind. Perhaps the night hold more surprises for me yet before it's over." He stood up, fixing the position of his cloak. Subtle glimmers of crimson metal flickered beneath it as he rose, before giving Kibaru a light bow. "Thank you for the meal, it's been most pleasant."
Wayne
"Well it has been a pleasure, A pleasure indeed. If we meet again, I'll share some of my made food with you" *He said smiling at the stranger* "And maybe cross swords while we're at it"
Joan
"That is definitely something I can look forward to." The dark beast waved, putting his hood back on. "Until then, shadow hide you." He ended with an odd farewell said among rogues all over the land. As to what fate held in store for either of them, it remained unseen.
Wayne
"And may the god of hunt bless your game" *He replied with his own farewell as he watched the man slowly fade away. He would then get his stuff ready and clean up campfire and anything else*
