Belial’s movements might’ve caught the attention of another, but the same could be said for the peryton. Enough information passed through from companion to man, so that when the other approached, Deimos glanced back at the other with little surprise. A cursory glance, a nod of recognition, of necessary woodsmen who scouted out amidst their snowy ranges, who snagged at supplies when and where they could for the good of their region. “Afternoon. Damien, yes?” he rumbled in greeting, ignoring Zuriel’s conceited shake of her head.
He pulled the sled further, then halted it near the tree line. “Figured I had the opportunity,” he motioned with a shrug; as lately it hadn’t been a frequent occurrence to stretch his limbs across the expanse of the Greenwing, enjoy his region for what it was. He’d been far too busy ensuring Caido remained. “Apologies if I have disturbed your hunt.” The unicorn gave an obvious roll to her eyes, but otherwise ignored, pawing at portions of weeds nearby. His glance went back towards the stream, eyes narrowing a fraction as if considering and calculating. “I have my peryton scouting, but thank you for the offer. Figured I would grab some wood to bring home, and then any game that cropped up.”
At which he noted several fallen logs nearby, striding forth to inspect and peel off the branches.
