Evie
Ignorant to both unshared news and roguish teasing desires alike, the Evergreen focuses only on the swamp and the warm strength of his hand - which already dangerously distracts her, given her own prior words. But no, today his hands are needed in only the most innocent of ways. Except perhaps butchering, if the situation calls for it. Was that still considered innocent?
The parting of his touch makes her ache, still tender from the news he’d shared. It only inspires her to end this quickly, and while Evie had brought the skull with the intent of coaxing the creature into an exchange, she uncharitably considers taking it by force if only for her own selfish desire to use the time better. “Think Frey would be upset if we ate it?” she asks idly as she unhooks the skull from her belt and calls a branch to her from the swamp, perching it on the end for safety’s sake. As she moves closer to the pile, she sees it shudder. Promising. Still, she’s distracted by her own rabbiting train of thought, and aims another question over her shoulder as she edges slowly closer. “Is it edible?” Questions the Monster Hunters Guild should really be concerning themselves with, honestly.

a golden cage, for all its worth and beauty
is still just a cage
