every time i think i've finally made it, i learn i'm farther away than i have ever been before
Noah's face lit warmly as Kiada spoke, introducing her companion. Auni. He looked down at the tiny luxere, smiling. "Nice to meet you, Auni." For a hunter, Noah still liked animals. He saw them for all the value they held--meat, fur, companionship, aiding the sick, etc. He could appreciate that the woman held this creature dear to her heart, but if she told him that others had tried to buy it off of her for it's meat, fur, and antlers, he would not be surprised. Some in Halo were more crass than others.
"Noah Olson." He moved his hand towards her, offering the greeting. "Hunter." He was so used to giving his job right after his name that it rolled off of his tongue with ease. The fact that he now had two titles still hardly registered at times, and he wasn't quite ready to be throwing it around town like confetti. He would hold the responsibility and authority of the title, surely, but he did not need to hold any arrogance regarding it. He was still Noah, the oldest Olson, the hunter, the reindeer.
"You're with those from the Hollowed Grounds, yeah?" He asked her, picking up his glass to take another sip of his whiskey.
NOAH
