_____Hearing her reply only made Thousand roll his eyes before grumbling and digging into his UI to get out a whetstone and offering it. Using a rock was fine and all but as a bladesmith her did not enjoy such a crude and barbaric way of doing things. If the woman still declined his offers he would just roll his eyes again and moving away to go deal with gathering what he would need to craft a new blade from the fallen parts of the Jade Jaguars.

"I never trust silence, you be wise to do the same Wolf. A resting lion is still a lion. A tsunami warning is still water I've heard also. But what di I care, if you want to rush battle after battle and die for it be my guest. I'll tend my wounds, reflect and figure what I can do better, then go wild when the time comes."

_____Adjusting to use the declined bandages and potion on himself. There was no way fate would let them get out of the area without another fight be it with weak masses or something as dangerous as the Jags. But maybe that was just his mind so used to every peaceful work day getting flipped over all because one kid was not packed a lunch they wanted and nobody would trade with them leading to a fit that spiraled into more issues.

_____Scanning the area, and likely taking his whetstone back before adjusting his bag on his less damaged shoulder and looking back the way they had come from. he could keep trying to help the girl learn to spend time between fights thinking over ways to improve, but she clearly was a stubborn one. Shrugging as he would just point back the way they had come from and started to walk that way.

"I'm not willing to stick around and test lady luck, fun as it would be to have another high risk fight, when I've already died once for trying to do one."

As grumpy as she was, Lucille did ultimately snatch the whetstone from Thousand's hand, though she certainly did not see the point of it. She was sharpening her claws, not a blade. The structure was completely different and plenty of wild animals did the same she was doing until now, and their natural weapons worked just fine when they needed to be used. But now that she had it, she at least used it, as awkward as it was, given its relatively small size compared to the rock she was using before.

"Even a patient predator will still have to draw a breath once in a while as it awaits its chance. My ears do not lie!"

Neither did her limbs and the rest of her body, yet here she was, all battered still. No matter, any admission of inferiority in any way would probably be the end of her ego for a short while, and who knew what unpleasant events that would ultimately cause. And while her ears might have been focused on taking in the sounds of the area, her eyes remained on the whetstone for a while, only looking back at Thousand after he took it back and started heading in a direction he deemed the best.

"Hey, don't think you can just run away from me! Just because I somehow slipped up once he gets to act all high and mighty, dammit, it's not fair..!"

"I ain't running miss wolf, I am just getting out of the territory of a enemy while I am still barely able to walk a strait line. Also as calling you miss wolf is sort of annoying I'll go first and say my name is 'thousand swords' But you can call me Alex as it's a nickname I get anyways."

_____Thousand stated as he turned to walk backwards and speak to the fickle woman, this was why he tended to avoid them, they changed around moods to much for someone like him to understand. Pick a mood and stay in it until something gives you reason to really swap not just flip flop between six at once then two or whatever. Moving to walk forward again as he would hop over a few up-grown roots and perched on a rock to look around for his next marker.

____Pulling at his pocket to get out a small red ribbon and holding it up before turning and heading towards a matching one to keep moving. he was over cautious and had several marker types, scattered them about the same distance from each other so you could almost see the next from where the first you encountered was and led to different things he had found. Red simply took him back to his nearest campsite and or restock point like he needed for food, and gear to tend his wounds as the last of his bandages got used.

"And I was not trying to be high and mighty, I deal with kids all day outside this game, so I tend to have a 'fatherly' lecture tone. I was just trying to give some advise. had I messed up I'd expect you to do the same and not mock or laugh at it. While yes, animals do use rocks the whetstone can help you get a more refined edge, natural or metal of blade."

"Sounds like you're saying that you're running away but trying to mask by using a lot of words. Fancy words. You're running away."

The girl asserted her stance as she continued to follow the man. Surprisingly, despite all of the injuries she had sustained, she didn't really have any trouble following along and keeping the pace. Clearly her vitality was more than her body would sometimes show. That said, it also often showed exactly what she was thinking. In this case, her expression was wholly unimpressed with the introduction the man had given.

"Wah, what a lame name! Huhu, you may address me as Lucille, the great wolf of Darkness! Be honored~!"

That said, as she introduced herself, her mood seemed to improve considerably. At least until 'Alex' tried to justify himself and his prior tone.

"Wait, are you implying that you see me as a child?!"

_____Thousand could only blink a few times at the wolf who decided to only further prove his point with everything she was doing. Trying to prove they right, repeating themselves, mocking someone else's name, giving a title they likely did not have atop a name, and getting mad when they got called a child. He would snicker if he felt he could take a hit, but simply chose to not do such a thing as he waved to dismiss the idea.

"No, no I just have a default tone of dealing with kids. I don't socialize much if at all."

_____Thousand kept walking, he did not exactly feel the need nor desire to do things differently. Sure one side of his mind wanted to prove if anything he had more speed, but that just seemed like his inner child talking so he chose to ignore it as they walked away from the Jade jaguar den and back to familiar territory as Thousand noticed one of his many colored fabric markers on a tree. Pulling out his little booklet to check what this one led to before closing the book.

"I don't know about you, but I could use a restock on medical supplies, and a meal. So less you know of a shop out in the jungle and a good resturant I'm going to be heading to one of my little campsites. Welcome to follow if that would appease the 'great wolf of darkness' Lucille..."

_____Thousand added a bit to the title, clearly mocking it a little as he grinned. It was not entirely mean, but it was clear he had not seen or felt it was fitting. The main reason he was poking fun at it was the fact wolves tended to be pack creatures, so calling yourself one and running solo made no sense even if the whole 'lone wolf' thing. The only creature Thousand knew was 'lone' was honey badger, and they gave no care for who or what got in their way.

"Hmph, whatever."

She ended up dismissing his justification for the whole child thing. It was all too difficult for her to wrap her head around, anyway. As long as she understood that he wasn't really calling her a child, she supposed she could spare him for the time being, as opposed to making him pay for insulting such a magnificent one that the girl was.

"A real survivalist has no need for stores and fancy restaurants! If there is a need for something, you just have to keep moving in one direction until you find what it is that you need, simple as that! Doesn't even require any scraps of colored cloth that anyone could follow and stage an ambush."

The whole idea seemed rather ridiculous to her, but seeing as she was fairly hungry, she would ultimately follow the man along the path.

"At least yer learning to address me with the proper title... good."

And she also clearly did not catch the fact that the way he had used it in his speech was of a mocking nature, either. It all sounded wholly sincere to her.
