Traveling. For days, that's all they'd been doing. No thanks to his big brother. Snort. He had his heart set on the grandest, most feared kingdom. Val had agreed to tag along, much to Malric's dismay. But he'd relented, and like always, gotten his way. Besides, that cute little woman that trotted along with him was quite the opposite of a deterrent. 

Having been sent ahead to scout the trail, seeing as Nesta was still healing and slowing them down a bit, he hadn't been too sure what he might find. But free entertainment watching a stranger hunt? That surely was far from his list of potentials.

It took some time, but eventually the buck had been defeated. Could Val have stepped in to help? Sure. But that didn't mean he was going to.

“Look who finally got their victory,” He mused, stepping out from the treeline where he'd been hiding in the thick brush. “You know, I never thought a hunt could be so entertaining. But you really do put on a good show.” A taunting grin took hold on his expression, his gaze searching the stranger for any signs of familiarity. He'd found one so far. Who's to say another might not be here too?

An offer of a meal, with this stranger? Val could have laughed. But he wouldn't. It would seem too rude, right?

“I would join you—” He began, a grimace apparent. “But my brother would have me skinned alive if he caught me out casually sharing a meal with strangers. Frankly, I can hear him in the back of my mind telling me to chase you off.” A small snort blew through his nose, his jaw momentarily hardening. “But you seem like a nice guy, so I won't.”

He could definitely hear his brother even clearer now. Weak. Merciful. Coward. Val gritted his teeth, rumbling out a displeased sound as he tried to shake away the unwanted voice.

The man's comment drew Val's lip up to display a toothy grin. “Not quite, but he is a king by birthright. One of these lands will be his to command, as he sees it. He's traveling with his woman—” Despite how much he hated seeing that pretty thing at the beck and call of his damned brother. “He wouldn't take nicely to strangers where he travels.”
