sounds like hallelujah

ALISTAIR "Are you now? Well then, there's something to look forward to." He would tease, mockingly showing he was impressed at her mention of her skills with a bow. His own held loosely in his hand, as the other held the arrows, content with the cumbersome nature of the trek because of carrying Rex along their journey. "We're to make for the woodlands, you'll find more ample game there, though the fields have house smaller creatures which you would think is easier, but they're quite clever." Alistair grinned, arms tucking her legs further into him as he took a path into the woodlands, which would eventually lead to the fields, but for now, the trees provided ample cover from the sun. The ambient sounds of the woodlands beamed with life. Birds of all sorts soared across overhead, Riesling of leaves echoed unseen. Alistair grinned as he set his bow and arrows down before reaching over and lowering Rex's feet down. He groaned, rolling his shoulders and rubbing his lower back, overly dramatic-like as if to mock the strain of carrying her, before offering a wink, taking up his bow once more. "Come on then..." He'd motion for Rex to follow as he moved forward, scouting for tracks. Alistair seemed much more still, his body moving like an animal stalking after wounded prey just as he found a set of tracks and began to slowly pursue. It was then he reached into his pocket, realizing something he sighed slightly before slipping an onyx stone from his pocket. Way back when, it actually meant something. Seemed so long ago, back then it seemed like the most important thing, now it was simply a stone, but he grinned as he studied it for a moment. The light reflecting off its star-like specs. Giving the stone the appearance of a pure evening sky. It was smoothed and glossed over, only enhancing the sheen. Glancing back he'd look over to Rexanna and offer the stone to her. "In another life, I was once told this held great significance. To find one meant good fortune, and kept the darkness away. Perhaps I was a fool, but I believed it once upon a time." He smirked, motioning for Rexanna to take it. "I think I've used up all it's good intentions...the last of it, having you wander and disrupting my landscape sketch. You take it, maybe it'll bring you luck, for the man you want to help...and just, to help you find your way no matter the path you have to take to get there. As long as in the end, you're happy, we'll both know there was still some good spared in it for you." His voice held its usual rasp, if a bit softer as he nodded, assuring Rexanna it was ok for her to accept the gift.
