He blinked slowly, staring at the girl for a long while as if he hadn't seen anything quite like her before.
"You 'just want to help'?" The words were slow, doubtful, considering. Something twitched at the corners of his mouth, a new kind of light danced past the gleaming eyes. But then he turned away and started walking again. The curly tail swayed as ashen hooves picked out the safest route amidst the lava streams, held carefully away from the flickering blue pools, and in the stern silence the scraping of chitin against rock was almost deafening.
Then; "Cathun" he answered, quite abruptly while throwing a glance over the shoulder. An ear flicked - not quite an invitation to follow, but not entirely a spiteful jab to leave him alone either. It wasn't as if he could stop her from coming after him, if she really wanted to, but he wasn't going to just stand there and idly chat along either. Cathun was sick of the place, allergic to the presence of whatever gods that might be lurking near the ruins of the shrines, and the heat and the glowing darkness was getting on his nerves. It felt magical, alive almost, and it made the amulets around his neck hum in annoyance.
He still doubted her intentions, was sure she wouldn't come. How could she help, a small girl no older than he was, naive and trusting and too optimistic for her own good. What could anyone do, really?
"You don't even know if there's a problem - don't bite off more than you can chew. Ranjiri."
His lips definitely curled this time, but whether from amusement or spite was impossible to tell.
