Braydon was still out here in the wilderness, yes, and his common language was very slowly improving but improving none the less! Either way, the man, with no small amount of strength, hauled a deer he had victoriously brought down. More meat for him to cure to help him through this winter. With a triumphant purr, he placed the deer down and got to work. [break][break]

Time had passed through the day though, and the sun began to set. The man, now finally dressed in more than his old loin cloth thanks to some hunters helping him learn how to make proper clothes that would keep him warmer through this winter, sat next to the fire, watching it.[break][break]

As the cloak made from the dense fur of a bear rest around his shoulders, and he breathed fire into his palms, he could feel snow on the wind. Smoke rose up calmly from his wild camp, meat being cured and a fire to keep him warm while he figured which way he was going to set up his tarp for this winter. Finally speaking more to hunters was begging to pay off for Braydon.

'Well, it turned out to be more dangerous than I thought.... Darn. You really have to do things yourself to do it right.'

Marianne trudged on through the abandoned shepherd's trail, snow hampering her progress. It was still some distance away to the safety of walls of Hyrule Castle, but Marianne already could feel her strength waning. There were small cuts on her face and palms and her red hood was a little tattered, with tell-tale signs of a furious battle. Her right hand was holding her left shoulder, from which blood was dripping slowly, making a trail of crimson on the white snow she walked through. She had applied a tight bandage using a piece of cloth ripped from her own in attempt to stem the bleeding, but it seemed it was not working well. Blood still seeped through the cloth, although at far reduced rate.

Something in that wound made her healing magic ineffective. And Marianne was terribly spent. Her usual supplies had been lost and she almost had little energy left. She needed something to eat or something to refill her energy, whichever came first. The most important thing was she needed it fast.

Coming out of the bushes where the barely-visible trail led her, Marianne suddenly stopped. She had unknowingly appeared within the visual range of a camp of sort, with a person there. Marianne could see him clearly and she was sure he could see her also, being within talking range of each other. And in front of him: meat. And it seemed he had plenty of it.

But Marianne was not going to approach so easily. She had survived too many situations which told her prudence and caution were key for survival. However, there was no denying that she would appreciate any help right now, even more so in the form of something calorific to eat.

So, she simply stood there, a crimson figure of a woman in the snow making wary eye contact with the wild man in the camp, like a fearful doe watching a hunter approaching. Should he seemed threatening or suspicious, she would have bolted in an instant.

But if he seemed to be open to the idea of sharing help, she would carefully take her chances.

Cautious

Braydon sniffed the air some, grumbling at the meats that were curing. To be stored away to help him get through this brutal winter. Hunting grew more and more difficult the more snow that coated the ground after all. He was focused completely on what he was doing till the sound of crunching caught his attention.[break][break]

His ears were attuned to picking up noises, his long time spent alone in the wilderness taught him to stay that way. Some bite scars on his abdomen could attest to that. With a hiss out of habit, he acknowledged the person, who appeared to be injured, and he acknowledged them warily, tilting his head towards the person.[break][break]

He noticed them. That much was a start.

At least... he did not immediately run towards her and attack? Yet, the hiss coming out of him put Marianne into full alert. It was a Lizalfos hiss, and having devoured all information the Monster Research Council had to offer about the beast Marianne knew it well. The princess squinted under her hood, trying to analyze the person hissing at her from this distance. 'Is he a Hylian? A mutated Lizalfos?' Thoughts of her encounter with mutated Deku Baba and the account of Chief Solveig and Ruru about their own run-ins with creatures affected by the Twilight Mirror Shard seeped into her mind. 'Could this being be a monster affected by Twilight also? Is he dangerous? There is an odd hint of civilization judging from his surroundings....'

But the smell of smoked meat and the visible abundance of it won over Marianne's reluctance. It was still a day's worth of travel to Hyrule Castle, and night was approaching fast. She would need all she could have to survive the night in Hyrule Field. Worse, her trusted people in the castle would not be able to keep the charade forever. If only she was not so foolish as to lose her only form of communication....

So, she maintained direct eye contact with the person and raised both of her hands in a gesture of peace. The palm of her right hand was red with blood but she hoped it did not lessen her gesture. And then, very deliberately and very visibly, she took one step closer towards the camp and waited for his response. The slightest hint of danger, and she would readily flee.

She is testing the waters

Braydon tilted his head some more, blonde hair blowing and making him sputter some as he shook it from his eyes very quickly, only to open them right back up and look at the person with the blood red hand. Either bleeding, or wounded something. He sniffed the air curiously, as he had seen his kin do, but sadly had always lacked their keen sense of smell. Instead, he was trying to pick up her smell off the wind. Hunters smelled differently depending on the type of person they were.[break][break]

After a moment longer, he let out a low, inaudible purr in his throat before standing up, cloak staying around his shoulders as he watched her move, letting out a low trill in her direction. It only took him a little bit to realize what he was doing though, and raised a hand back at her in response, thinking it was some kind of hello. He still wasn't the greatest at remembering to use the common language words he had been picking up.[break][break]

Still though, his battered scimitar laid to rest on the log he had been sitting on, snow gathering on the hilt.

'Oh, he's standing up.'

Marianne's whole body tensed as she carefully watched for any signs of aggression. This person was tall! He was clearly someone used to live in the wilderness, and from the way he dressed Marianne judged him as being used to stay away from settlements, too. He had tattoos over his body which Marianne vaguely remembered the pattern, but unsure where she had seen it. 'Is he a member of a previously unknown tribe? Hard to believe but possible. Is he a sentient Lizalfos like Sir Tart is? Or a Hylian raised by beasts? A minister wrote about such a thing a few centuries ago but the veracity is doubted....'

Marianne's analytical mind had already putting and dismissing theories of what the man was. Most importantly, though, he did not seem to have hostile intent. At least not yet.

So, Marianne took her chance. She took another step towards the man, maintaining eye contact and keeping her hands up in peace. There seemed to be no response so she took another step.... And another.... And another.

"I am sorry for disturbing your rest," she opened before they entered striking distance of each other. "But may I have some of your meat?" She pointed politely at the meat being cured. "I'd be willing to trade." And she pointed back at herself.

Ditch the fancy greetings and curtsies. Marianne might maintain the persona of a princess being cloistered in the castle unlike her gregarious siblings, making Sir Josh even thought of her as being far removed from her subjects. She was fine with that. It was her role as her brother's shadow to not eclipse his role as the "king of the people". The less people knew about who secretly listened to people's troubles as one of their own and who actually kept the government machine running, the better.

But what to trade? Her bow? No. It was specially crafted by Lena the blacksmith and Marianne was sure she would not receive another in her lifetime. Would he be interested in a Boomerang, then? Or perhaps that Din Scroll she haphazardly picked before would be of interest....

She tried not to offend him by assuming he perfectly understands words

Braydon tilted his head in the other direction at her approaching more and then looked over at his meat when she began speaking. He knew the word trade for sure, willing and disturbing, he didn't know what those were, but he didn't let that bother him too much, the context was still there. "Trade?" He asked, voice raspy from underuse. It'd been a while since anyone had come by.[break][break]

Either way though, he moved to go grab a log and easily lifted it to put it down, a spot for her to sit. "Down." He pointed to the seat, implying that she can sit down before huddling back into his cloak and keeping his eyes on her. Most notably anywhere he could spot blood, searching for injury with his sharp, green eyes. Sclera red from his rosacea being irritated by the air.

Everything you ask for, nothing is above me

Marianne had guessed right. The man knew common language, but was not very proficient with it. In fact, the longer she watched him and the little voices he made, the more an actual image of a beast-man grew in Marianne's mind. The fact would have fascinated her, if not for her current dizziness and fatigue which addled her mind a little. Still, she made a mental note to observe him further.

When he lifted a log Marianne was on edge again, thinking he was going to use it as a weapon. But instead, he put the log down near the fire and invited her to sit.

Marianne blinked. Slowly, a smile spread on her face and she gave a grateful nod. Not the invitation she usually received, but there was no hiding the relief on her face on being given a sign of hospitality. This was a step in the right direction. Gingerly, she approached the log and politely seated herself, being careful not to overuse her bleeding left shoulder as she did so. The warmth of fire felt refreshing after hours walking in the snow. Slowly but surely, color returned to her face, though she regretted another color that she had left. Droplets of blood were visible from where she stood before all the way to the log, a stark red stain on the white snow.

"Thank you," she whispered, gratitude evident from her tone.

Now, what to do? He seemed to understand trade, though. In Gerudo customs the visiting tribe should present their wares first. Perhaps he would understand the same? Marianne slowly produced a wooden boomerang from under her cloak and offered it to the man with both of her hands, although she used only the tip of her right fingers to avoid smearing the boomerang with blood.

"I'll trade this boomerang to you," she said as she pushed her offering forward, before nodding towards the stack of cured meat, "for your deer meat." She would bargain for quantity when he agreed. Two or three days worth of meal was what she was hoping to get, which was quite a deal in her opinion. Even the untrained would surely notice that the boomerang she had was of high quality, both in material and in craftsmanship. Better yet, she would always be able to take a replacement from The Royal Vault later. It had been some time since they stopped asking for rupees to take out her belongings anyway~

Lets see....

Braydon let out a curious purr, tilting his head at the boomerang before reaching out and taking it, feeling the weight and balance of the weapon in his hand. He had some brothers in his lounge that used a boomerang as a weapon before. It could be a good hunting tool for rodents and birds without wasting precious arrows if it had the properties to be thrown as such.[break][break]

After a moment of consideration, Braydon placed the boomerang down by his scimitar and stood up to head into his tent, coming out with some cloth. One hand carried the cloth while another reached down to collect enough strips of meat to adequately feed the girl in his camp. Offering the meat towards her, he spoke with a low rumble. "Here."[break][break]

He'd wait for her to take the food, all while his eyes studied the wound on her shoulder, his free hand clenching the relatively clean cloth in thought. "What... hurt you?"

Did she succeed? For a few seconds he was examining her offering, and Marianne did not dare to ask further. Then he took the boomerang, seemingly considering it, before putting it beside his scimitar and vanishing into his tent.

Left alone outside, Marianne took the time to carefully inspect his camp and belongings. It was a rather crude establishment, although the fact that he was in the process of curing meat would mean he was planning to spend a few nights here. The scimitar he had was bereft of any discernible style, making it harder for her to guess where he came from. Where did he live anyway?

Then he went out with several cuts of dried meat, and there was no hiding the relief in Marianne's face. Having lost her supplies, food was something she was terribly unsure of. Now at least, it seemed that she would survive this night.

"Thank you," she said, smiling at the man as she received her meat, her perfect rows of white teeth showing. "Can I eat here?" But she did not wait for answer. Already she had munched on the meat with surprising gusto for someone with her dainty appearance. Marianne did not like meat very much, but right now this piece of meat was the best she had ever tasted. It was a little raw in the curing process, and her always-critical mind had already thought of better aromatic wood to impart the smoky flavor. But right now she was too starved to care.

Chewing and gulping down, she kept her eyes on the man, only now noticing a clean cloth he was holding. Was that for her wounds? How perceptive of him. Marianne was genuinely touched, and felt a twinge of guilt for having judged him so quickly. Her experience told her it was necessary, but still Marianne longed for the days when she was much more trusting towards others, when she was but the youngest princess with her whole future before her, and the world seemed that much safer and friendlier to her. That Marianne had long gone.

The man asked her just as she was chomping on a large piece of meat. She took time to properly chew and swallow it before answering. She might be a wanderer in the woods right now, but she did not speak when her mouth was full!

"Something I was a fool to challenge," she answered, flashing a smile. Her apologizing gaze gave a vibe that she could not speak more, even if she wanted to. "And unfortunately, it had poison or something. Tried healing magic. Not very effective."

She ripped another piece of meat with her teeth before finally setting down the meat. It had been eaten halfway through in such a short time. She gestured towards the cloth he was holding.

"Can I... have that?"

Another layer of clothing to apply more pressure, and to at least stop the blood seeping out. Now that she had eaten she would be able to cauterize it or something with her magic, but decided against doing so. It wasn't a critical wound, after all.

She's touched!

Braydon's head tilted curiously at her gusto. Well, even hatchlings ate like they'd never eaten before when their teeth came in, he had to admire the voracious appetite of this human. But his head tilted again as she spoke, an inquisitive 'chirp' as he tried to comprehend some of the words. "Something I was a fool to ???" his head flopped to the other side, blonde hair getting picked up in the cold wind and his boots crunching as he adjusted his stance. "And ??, it had poison or some???. Tried healing magic. Not very ???."[break][break]

Braydon let out a huff of fire, not close enough to harm her and then pointed to some metal he had laying about his camp he used to cauterize his own injuries. Granted, it wasn't too clear what they were for. But he did understand the word have, and that was the whole point he got the cloth for. He held it out for her to take and once she did, he went back to his own spot, letting out a hiss and sitting up to brush the snow that had gathered on his spot away.[break][break]

"Fight, lossse?" He asked, making a face and feeling his tongue in his mouth as the s' drew out from a tendency to hiss. "Ssstill out there?" He'd get better about his common one day he just... needed constant exposure to actually learn it.

The way he tilted his head when listening to her words was funny. It reminded Marianne of her sister's Beatrix large dog, which Marianne swore understood her words sometimes. The way it was being shown by a big burly man however... was a little disconcerting. Something told Marianne that he did not fully grasp the meaning of her words, although he understood the gist of it. It reinforced Marianne's guess about feral child origin of this man. Interesting.

Whatever he was, how Marianne was glad she met him! The huff of fire was totally unexpected and it made her wince a little, but it seemed he was not doing it out of malice. More like habit, then? It also seemed that he was naturally predisposed to Din if he could create fire unconsciously. Ah, perhaps that scroll would have been a better offering....

He pointed at some metal and Marianne nodded politely in kind, knowing what he meant but at present not considering it. She was much more interested in the clean cloth he offered, which she received almost reverentially. She immediately started to work making another bandage to apply more pressure to her wound. The blood-soaked cloth already there she left in place, for she knew that removing it might actually removed blood clots that had formed. So she simply layered the new cloth over it and tightened it, using her healthy right hand and her teeth to pull the edges of the knot. Her nimbleness in doing this suggested that this was not the first time she had done this.

"No," she said between her teeth, "Now gone. Safe now."

She made another loop, and was again pulling them taut. "And you, where do you come from? Spending winter here?" she asked, a little muffled by the cloth she was biting.

I cannot imitate muffled sound

Braydon watched her work with the bandages, but turned his eyes back to the meat he was working on and made some small adjustments to his set up before reaching up to adjust his cloak tighter around him. What she had been fighting was gone now, and the only thing that could be seen for a moment through the thick cloak was mostly wild hair. It'd likely be fair if not for the conditions he ever constantly lived under.[break][break]

He winced some at the question she asked, one he got a lot. "No. Live here." He pointed towards the ground. If it were not for the snow, there'd be many more signs that he'd been spending a lot of time in this area. "Many wintersss." He didn't know the word for how many but he used one finger for each winter he remembered, switching back and forth between five and six, he held his hands up to the woman to show her.[break][break]

"Come from big fire. Mountain." He pointed towards Death mountain. As far as he could remember, he was raised among fiery lizalfos until he was cast into exile, a hidden mark on the back of his neck denoted him as such, and earned hostility from his former kin should they see the tattoo.

Everything you ask for, nothing is above me

So her observation was right. He did live here in this camp, and maybe permanently or semi-permanently. It was in such an out-of-the-way location in the vast Hyrule Field that Marianne had never stumbled on it before, and she had known no reports of someone like him staying here. Not an easy feat, considering the princess' eyes and ears were everywhere. It proved that even the most sophisticated spy network still left room for minor surprises.

With one last tug Marianne pulled at the cloth, now securely stemming the flow of blood. She waited for a few seconds, and when no new blood seeped through the now triple layer of clothes, she considered herself satisfied.

"Six," she explained with a kind smile, quickly noticing him fumbling with his fingers and decided to help. Putting up her own hand -still bloody, but already dried out- she counted her fingers along with him. "One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Six winters you have lived here. Wow that is a long time."

And he pointed towards Death Mountain. "Death Mountain?" she inquired, raising her eyebrows, "You came from Death Mountain?" It reinforced her theory that he at least were familiar with Lizalfos, judging from his earlier hiss and his pronunciation of certain words. Marianne was too curious to resist. "Do you, umm, know Lizalfos? Lizalfos. Monster like... like-hsssssht," and she quite convincingly imitated the hissing sound Lizalfos used to announce itself, something that was mentioned in one of MRC reports and which Marianne had personally witnessed. It might sounded impressive for the man to hear the girl making that sound. Had he ever met someone "human" like him who could do that?

But Marianne could not speak Lizalfos, as much as she was eager to learn it (and Bulblin language too!). She was fluent in five current Hylian dialects and its ancient form, and also could speak and write in Gerudo, Zora, and Goron and hosts of other languages. That was one of the reason she was the Castle's choice diplomat, even when her parents were still alive. But monsters' tongue? There were no theories and no sources about them which did not conspire to kill or bite others at earliest opportunity, so she could not learn it.

Yet.

He nodded his head with her as she spoke. Yes! He came from that place! From deep within the caves! Then she asked about Lizalfos, and in response, he let out a series of noises. Pops, jaw pops, clicks and trills. As if answering a question but in their language.[break][break]

"Yesss. Pack raisssed me." and since he wasn't sure if he was getting the point across, he motioned to his chest, which, uncovered under the cloak, had tattoos covering parts of his arms and collar bones. Even under his eye black he also bore those scale tattoos. "I am..." He trailed off, eyes looking around, unsure.[break][break]

People had a tendency to freak out just over seeing and hearing him. If it weren't for this girl being injured, he'd probably be more cautious. The violent nature he was raised with simply saw bleeding opponents as weakened targets, less of a threat were, say, an uninjured man his size came stomping into camp. He'd met plenty of hunters anyways and quite a few of them were pretty tolerant of his nature.
