She has heard from the local villagers that a large pack of wolves has been hanging around the area. She has decided to track them down to thin the numbers and encourage the rest to move elsewhere.
She keeps a number of eyes and ears out. One can hardly have too many of those in the wilds.
There's a pause, him drawing himself smaller again. "Don't wanna- m'keeping you from something?"
"mmm. I did tell the village folk I'd deal with those wolves, but I wanna look after you, too."
He doesn't seem to have a response to that except curling slightly tighter again. (And perhaps presses a little more into Zarân.)
Well, he's probably not going to try and make any further prompts towards movement right now, and will just settle into being a relatively content ball in her lap.
Slightly pensive snuggling for a little while.
Then, "So would you rather I leave you here while I go out or would you rather come with, most of the way anyway. Or we could stay here for today I suppose."
The tentacles he still has wrapped around her arm tighten, but he gives the impression of a shrug.
Aww snuggle.
"I really won't leave you alone if you don't want to be left."
"I don't. I'll not want to be carrying you while I'm busy fighting because it's safer that way, but other then that it's fine." Snuggle.
"Sure. If we are going today we should go soon so we can be back before dark."
He doesn't move at first, but eyes reappear, clearly looking for the least inconvenient place to be.
He adjusts himself slightly, and carefully winds tentacles so he's holding on in a way that hopefully doesn't restrict her movement too much.
She flexes her muscles a bit experimentally and nods. "That'll do."
She grabs assorted dishes on the way out and takes them downstairs to the counter. Then she heads out of the village. Hopefully nobody will pay enough attention to notice the living fashion accessory. But people are busy at this time of day.
He curls a little tighter, trying to make himself smaller and less noticeable.
Doo doo doo. Nothing to see here random villagers.
They will get out of the village pretty quickly, it's not a large village.
He relaxes a little when they leave the village, but stays pressed pretty close - snuggles perhaps a little closer to her neck.
She pets him reassuringly while walking roughly in the proper direction looking and listening for signs. (she will give the farmhouse a wide berth).
Eventually, there will be wolfsign! Paw prints in the mud of a stream bank, carcasses with signs of gnawing and biting. Definitely signs they're heading in the right direction.
