His job seemed a lot more fun than her own. Her targets were always too easy to kill or capture and she needed a challenge. "Could you teach me?" She asked, though she didn't allow herself to become hopeful. This man didn't know her and she had no clue to who he was, if anything she expected him to say no. In her mind, it was always worth asking because people had the tendency to surprise others with their answer. "I know how to shoot and hand to hand combat. I just want to learn because you wouldn't be with me if I ever got attacked by one again." 

Her lips pursed together as she watched the man, wondering if he perhaps had been tracking this beast. It was always a possibility. "Can I have your name atleast?"

Ifan looked at her for one moment, his eyes cold and calculating. He said nothing as his hands fumbled around in one of his saddlebags. His gloved hands removed a small plant leaf from his bags. Ifan placed the leaf in his mouth and rolled it around with his tongue. "I have several names, really. You can call me Ifan." 

The shifter hunter nestled the leaf in his mouth for several more moments before continuing. "How would you pay me for this training?"

She had to rack her brain for anything she could offer to this man, it took her a couple minutes before a thought occurred in her head. She knew it wasn't a smart idea but it was better than anything. "How many gold pieces will it take?" 

It wouldn't really be stealing in her eyes, her father took all she had when she refused to work for the Ice lord's army. She knew her way around the kingdom and all the easy break in points to her home.
