The mentioning of places he'd yet to see, places beyond the scar, made him cock a brow and thoughtfully chew the inside of his cheek. About to let his tongue slip, but catching it just in time. A new time of mindfulness had dawned, and he was not to let it shatter just yet. So quiet quizzical was what he went for 'til he straightened his thoughts out.
Too caught up in finding words to put his request in as elegant a raiment as he could, he not more than nodded at the dance of colors as wings caught sunshine. More concerned by the reflections stinging his eyes and jabbing little fiery needles in his head.
He raised a callused hand, giving his strained eyes a little respite. "I can only imagine." he said, almost dismissive at first, but finding himself warming up to the thought. A place not as drab and 'stoic' as the Hallowed grounds, even for just a short while, would be a welcome change of pace.
"Thank you, it's the nicest thing anyone said about my craft." Are said with actual sincerity, offering a smile and a nod. Having what little pride he still kept polished, if even half-heartedly, made him sit up just a tad bit straighter.
"Yes, I do, fixed it up with the help of some steady hands. It does get a bit cramped though, what with only me and my thoughts. I needed some... Solace." he gestured to the surrounding woods and the lake, suddenly aware of how his stained and filthy hand looked against the positively radiant backdrop. Also catching a whiff of tannery from his tunic. "And a bath it seems..."
