Parne kept quiet as the two human women shared an obviously emotional moment – knowing that such a choice was no doubt not taken lightly, and that he had one only one of the battles that would be ahead of them, although in terms of difficultly is was also probably one of the most challenging. Not to mention one that carried deadly consequence for him should he not fulfil his part of in the terms he found himself set – something that made his stomach feel uneasy, something that he tried to put out of his mind for the time being. If all went according to plan, it would not be an issue. He hoped.<br/><br/>Once again the strength of will and character in the older woman became obvious to him as she fixed him with so level and steeled a glare than he was sure she could have faced down and beaten a troll if it meant that the younger girl would be saved from harm. That was a powerful emotion, and it was quite obviously reciprocated in kind between them – something that, with the right amount of careful manipulation, could prove to be rather useful to him. ‘I assure you, I have no intention of dying if it can be at all helped’ he said with a grim smile – of which little was put on for show. It wasn’t his intention to be a martyr here for either side – he had been given his task, and he would do it, but he wasn’t about to sacrifice himself if he could at all find a way around it.<br/><br/>Returning his full attention to Tara, Parne nodded at her suggestions for clothing. ‘You will most definitely need study yet comfortable footwear, for we will no doubt have much in the way of walking ahead of us. I would also suggest that you dress warmly but in layers – the weather here is tricksome at best, and will no doubt fluctuate even more during the days ahead of us. Lastly, I would suggest that you pack any provisions you can be afforded – while I am a hunter of no small skill, there is no telling what the game will be like ahead of us.’
