When the mare arrives, bringing with her little joy, Knox finds himself automatically soothed. It isn't that she says or does anything to ease his nerves or pain, but as soon as he is not alone he has a reputation to keep up. A mask to wear, an identity to hide, some sort of object or goal for every conversation--these are the things that company thrusts upon him. These are what comprise his duty.

And it is true, very true, that Knox needs something to occupy his time. A task, something as menial as stealing from those with their eyes permanently shut, is enough to keep the pain at bay.

He turns so that his sighted eye finds her and nods slightly. He knows the name... was she perhaps here years ago, during the best years of The Grey? Knox can't imagine he would recognize anyone still in the Falls from anywhere else, but he refrains from asking her about her past. For now.

"Not one of my fellow thieves, then,"  he muses aloud, narrowing his eyes and flaring his nostrils to cover the fading memory of his upset. As much as it might still be there he cannot let it show. As much as it hurts to simply see another bonded to a companion now, what feels so soon after Manhattan's death...

"A pleasure, Lakota. " Knox says, failing to mention the bear beside her. He considers asking now where they have met, but thinks better of it, lest he jog her memory of him in the process. However he knows her is something he is willing to let them all forget. "If my call interrupted you in the middle of some task, please. Don't let me keep you," Knox says, sounding uncharacteristically polite. But he's really just probing, trying to find out more if he can. Does the are have any tasks to complete? Is she a healer or soldier, or simply a layabout mare with nothing to contribute to this herd?

And, if she does, will she perhaps leave him alone to go do it?
