"It's only a scratch, nothing to worry about."
Though he still moved to the log she was on he kept his hand in his pocket using the other to handle his cigarette. It'd been a while since he was in this forest thanks to a small disturbance he'd gotten about a week ago. Took him 3 days to get here then 3 more to find the thing that was causing the disturbance. He'd actually came to check on Disa more than visit hoping it hadn't gotten to her before he had, the blood on his hand was proof he'd beaten the beast to her.
"When are you coming home with me?"
As blunt as he was that was pushing it a bit. They'd met a while back and became tied together thanks to a series of events. Sadly, Disa like the out doors more than she'd like his home which worried him to no end. She was a fine archer, a good healer too, but he feared when she had to leave the forest area and the things that sometimes lurked in it.

Disa shrugged. "I don't know, I'm actually waiting to hear from a friend now, she was going to check and see about a place that I can move the pack to so there will be less competition for food for them. Damn orcs are making it hard for them to survive here."

Reinhart winced at the shrug, it was a gesture that he never got used to or liked, he'd make sure to point it out next time. Taking one final drag of his cigarette he looked Disa over noting the necklace that hung around her neck.
"A friend?"
If it was the same friend that had given her that necklace he already knew who her 'freind' was.

Reinhart sniled for a moment before turning to Disa and reaching for her necklace.
"Seems my question's already been asked."
Taking the necklace in hand he looked it over for a moment before retreating back to his position. Looking up to what he could make out of the sky through the tree line he pulled both hands out of his jacket. Resting his palms on the log to support himself the bloodied hand didn't seem as bloody anymore.
"You'll like it there I think."
He said talking up to the sky more than towards her.

"Huh?" Disa was a bit confused. Did Reinhart know Jessica? Had she missed something? Is the sky really blue?

"I know the woman who gave you that."
Gesturing with a tilt of his head he eyed the necklace then turned his attention back to the sky.
"Assuming what she has in mind is what I think then you'll be a stone's throw from me."
And he'll no longer have much need to worry aside from maybe the Empress of Fenrir or her gaurds making their way through into the mountains.

And suddenly it all made sense, sort of. There were still a few areas that need clarification like how he knew Jessica and where this place was and... yeah, you get the picture. "So... then... you're the guy who owns the place?"

"If it's the place I'm thinking of then yes, I am."
He laughed lightly, leaning forward now resting his elbows on his knees letting his arms hang losely in front of him.
"How'd you run into her anyway?"
His eyes remained on what would later be the campfire.

"I was checking out some stores in Durem and she snuck up behind me. Said my clothing was funny and invited me to lunch. Then she showed up here in the forest a few days ago hunting orcs." Disa busied herself with skinning the rabbits, she had a living to make and it wasn't being made by talking. >_<''

"Ah."
Certainly sounded like Jess, shopping and hunting had Jessica Daniels written all over it. Cracking fingers on his hand by stretching then balling them into a fist it was almost healed over. Though the intial wound began on his arm which was hidden under his jacket.
"D..."
He looked to her with a look as serious as his tone.
"...I'd like you to move as soon as possible."
It was more for her own safety than for his convenience.

"Find a way to get my pack there and I'll move." It was as simple as that. She wasn't moving until she was sure her pack could be safely moved and integrated into the existing pack.

"That's fine. I'll need you to come with me however."
Needed her to introduce her to the people of Fenrir who dwelled in the forest and mountains flanking and covering the back of his home. Once they were there he could ask them to open a gate between this place and the mountain which would make getting everything incluing Disa out of this place. An old woman had foretold hell for the Orcs and he figured that wouldn't be a great thing for Disa being so close to them.
"I need to introduce you to the peopel of Fenrir Disa, you'll have to leave the forest for a bit. Once we've gotten the pleasentries out of the way we can get everything and everyone you want from here to there."
Standing from his seat he looked down on her.
"We don't have much time I'm affraid."
What he'd gone through a coupel of hours ago was proof of that. Extending his hand out to her as if to help her up he waited for her response.

Disa looked around and then down at her catch and then back up at the forest around her. Oh well, she was going to feed it to them anyways. Setting the rabbit she was working on down with the others, she merely glanced off into the shadows of the forest before turning back to Reinhart and taking the offered hand with her own bloodied hand.
"Let's get this over with then."

"Yeah, let's..."
Reinhart would take the lead un-afraid of anythign that lurked int he woods, most times it was part of Disa's pack. Others it was some curious animal or one startled by their presence. He hadn't said much, he'd only smoked another cigarette till they came to a small clearing nearing the edge of the woods.
In the center laid what looked like an Orc, though it's skin was a blue-ish purple, it's teeth were twice the normal size, and it's muscles bulged making the thing look more like an Ogre. Noting these things would only come after noting it's chest had been torn open and it's ribs broken outwards. It's face was twisted in rage even in death and as Reinhatr passed it by he flicked what was left of his cigaretter onto it.
They'd be in Aekea not too long after leaving the forest, that thing should be proof of what he was speaking to Disa about just a bit ago.
