A 'Peaceful' Hunting Excursion (Marianne)

'Happy'... hm. In a sense, perhaps. To him, it was simply what he was used to, what he'd grown up doing ever since leaving the rest of his family behind in pursuit of something altogether... different. Whether he even got what he was looking for, as it were... well, who knew.

For now, though, he was content to remain like that and just not think about any of it. Though when Marianne next spoke, Revyn's ears flicked slightly, a little smirk once again forming across his face. She didn't even have to say more for him to know exactly what that sort of statement meant. But he, at least, had gotten away with quite a lot in his life, whether he deserved to or not; perhaps he could simply observe a little for now. There was certainly no harm in it... and thus far, he'd always found some way to get what he wanted.

A thought to hold on to, for now; in the meanwhile, he idly shifted himself back up off her with a slight yawn -- much as the fact yet remained that he'd been interrupted from a nap -- and minor stretch. "Mm? You look, much like me, like you've had a bit of a trek through the forest. If someone wishes to complain about that, perhaps they can try and complain to the trees instead... though I'm not convinced they'll listen," he suggested, allowing himself a little chuckle. Then again, much as even he liked to take good care of his fur, sometimes Hylians and the like were just too stuffy about it. Things happened; there was no need to get all uptight about a single stain or such thing, was there?

Still, the path onward, then, the keaton was soon to start to wander along. It wouldn't take too long to get back to the guards, he was certain; they were probably done with the monster that had come along, and some might well have scattered, but that would be no trouble for his nose. "The 'Sky Province', as I've heard it called, hmm? That would, at least, make two of us. But then, I'm not a sort that can stand having a place be out of reach to him," he thoughtfully hummed. Though, thus far, even he didn't have much of an answer for how to get there... besides hitch a ride with a Rito, which wasn't an enticing prospect.

"Sadly, though, we may yet have to wait on that one. But until then... I am not too willing to take a 'maybe' for an answer, nor anything you think may be practical for your position," he almost knowingly smirked. "It's an adventure, after all! Make it one for you, not the Princess. Do something wild, do something 'unrefined'. Perhaps even something a teacher of yours has told you not to do. There are plenty of options, really," he added. Not the greatest influence, perhaps... but then he'd never intended to be.

"In fact, since we should be about there... why not ask these guards of yours what they do while they're off-duty? Perhaps something simple will interest you," he suggested. "If not, well, I'm sure I can come up with something."

"Me? Not yet, no," Revyn replied on that point, making sure the emphasis was clear. He would go there, in time... he just needed to find a means to first. And he'd already sworn to himself that such a thing wouldn't elude him for too long; there would be nowhere he wanted to go that he couldn't go, there would be nothing he wanted to find that he couldn't likewise find.

Maybe it would take some time, but he had plenty of that left yet.

Otherwise, the keaton exhaled a small hum as Marianne seemed to at least consider things. That, it appeared, was some progress, at least... he couldn't say that he'd personally be suggesting smoking, especially around him, but she at least appeared open to things she'd not yet tried. Though it was otherwise little surprise to him that the question, ultimately, came back to him just as well.

"Me, hm? Well, I quite like exploring," he mused. "Places that are 'off-limits', places few, if any, have ever been. Sure, it gets me into some trouble sometimes... but it's nothing I can't handle," he suggested with a little chuckle. "Besides that, then... I quite like listening to stories. Tales of heroes, tales of villains... not something to aspire to, or take too seriously, just fun things to get one's imagination going," he added, his trio of tails giving an idle little flick behind him. Perhaps that one was little wonder, with how many tales he'd come up with over the years about keatons, or himself, in general.

"Other than those -- that I believe might both be worth a try, to get yourself thinking more about yourself and what you can do as simply you -- I like games of all varieties, when I get the chance. And I don't lose," he suggested one last point, putting on a little smirk. A challenge of some sort, perhaps... but it was but one of many things he could try to draw the Princess away from her sworn duties. "Ah, and we should be quite near; I believe you could start to hear them now," he added after a moment, having, at least vaguely, heard some shouting from a ways off yet for a short time.

Together... hm. Well, he could certainly see what came, at least. Either way, it was one more on his list to look out for when it came to points of interest for him -- altogether including a Great Deku Tree he'd heard about, and signs of dragons, of all things. Who could've thought he'd find things so eventful even after a short time in this land of Hyrule... even if he was already breaking his rule of not getting too involved this time.

"Sometime, yes; I've certainly heard, nor made, no shortage of stories through the years," Revyn replied on that point with a little smirk. That last part, he supposed, was probably little secret... but well, there was at least some truth to his own various stories. Sometimes.

Then... whatever he wanted, was it? Well, perhaps so; insofar as there wasn't really much that he actively wanted, were he to be honest. "You were supposed to challenge that claim, you know; give yourself a height to reach. As I said: something simple," he lightly teased, allowing himself a little chuckle. Perhaps he might have expected, eager as the Princess seemed to be, that she wouldn't have... but perhaps he could draw it out of her anyway, sometime. For now, though... the first priority would just have to be to get back to the guards, and hopefully not have to deal with them himself.

So, as they reached the guards just as he'd assured, the keaton himself idly sat by a short way off to tend to his fur in the meanwhile. Some bits of leaves, branch and bark here and there, though thankfully mostly eluding his tails... wouldn't take him too long while those guards were all busying themselves, he was certain. Though when it appeared to come his turn for the attention to be drawn, he could hardly help the smirk that curled up at the edges of his lips when most of the guards' gazes turned a bit suspicious, the keaton himself calmly as could be wandering along to sit himself near Marianne.

"Oh, now don't give me those looks. If it suits you, just call me something of a... new 'pet', who'll be staying by her side," he suggested. Not exactly... accurate, perhaps, but he was certain it would be more convenient for him all the same. "Besides, I am the one that got the Princess back here. I do believe I'm at least owed a nice meal," he added, that smirk growing just slightly.
