Gale's jaw tightened, but he didn’t say anything immediately. His hand still gripped Varys’s scruff, the wolf’s low growl subsiding but his stance still tense. Gale glanced at the wolf briefly, then back at Kayla, his eyes cold and calculating. "You’ve always been stubborn," he muttered under his breath. He didn’t understand why she was doing this, but he wasn’t about to let her get under his skin again. "Fine," he said finally, turning to continue walking. "But you’re not getting in my way." Varys, still uneasy but respecting the command, followed at his side, keeping a wary eye on Kayla. He turned,starting to walk of as the wolf stayed at his side,walking inbetween Kayla and him "If Varys kills you,it's not my problem." |

For a long while, the only sound was the crunch of leaves underfoot as they walked through the woods, the silence between them thick with unspoken words. Kayla kept her distance, but she was still there—following. Finally, after a stretch of quiet, Gale spoke again, voice barely more than a whisper. “Why didn’t you stay behind?” he asked, his tone softening just slightly, though the edge never fully left. “It’s not like I asked for this... this... whatever it is between us.I took you for the money and now your following me." Gale muttered,fiddling with a knife in his hand. |

"First of all, I didn't ask to be stolen. And secondly, there is nothing between us except convenience. I'm valuable, you're deadly." She stated sharply |

Gale snorted and laughed,Varys snorting aswell. "Valuable,huh?Sure,a price of 10,200.Try having a bounty of 200,000." He says,still chuckling as he walked on. |

"You'd get nothing but more imprisonment from the kingdom." She noted quietly, still following |

"Hell I will,for a month.You saw me escape,twice.Even after the dumbass of a king though he had broke me.No,I don't break.The only way somebody could break me,would be to kill me." He says,tone casual yet cold.Varys walked infront of him now,prowling infront of him. |

Kayla stayed silent, just listening around for any sounds other than their footsteps |

Gale took the old bow off his back,loading it and signaling Varys ahead,the wolf turning and sniffing,pointing in the direction of something.Gale nodded,stalking quietly into the underbrush.A ram walked out,the silence ecoing.The only sound you would hear was the draw of a arrow,the release of a arrow,and the final cry of a ram.Gale went forward,putting his bow and the arrow away,grabbing the ram by the horns and dragging it out,putting everything into the correct compartments before slinging the ram over his shoulder,the wolf jumping up at it every so often. |

Kayla watched him and refused to feel anything as she watched him hunt. She really did want to care for him, but she didn't let herself |
