"Six hundred and fifty!?!? That's approximately eight or ten human lifespans and you're telling me I shouldn't call you grandma?" Laughing out loud, he realised she really didn't like that which only made him want to call her that even more. Haha! Finally got something to torture you mentally with!
Feeling his wounds continue to heal, he wondered if he looked scary to Aea... Blood spilling from his forehead would proably make for a god awful sight to behold after all... Eh, I think the more pressing issue here is her coming out about being a dragon, or should I say a manakete? Honestly I don't know one thing about the differences in between so... As Aea asked if he had any further questions, he simply raised his shoulders, closing his eyes with a relaxed look. "Eh, reptilian body, magical wind, living hundreds of years while still looking like a young woman... I think I understand the basics right now. I mean, apart from the surprise of it all, you're not that different from me. Well okay, you turn into a much bigger beast than me, but at least the principle is similar. Giving her a litle half smile, he got back up on his feet, offering his hand to her.
"Well then, I think we should leave Sacae now. This witch hunt or whatever this is has gone on long enough, no? I personnally could use a breath of fresh right about now..." He was still surprised by himself about how friendly he was acting... Was it that she was like him? A solitary soul in a world not made for it? Her situation WAS a bit more dangerous than his though... Taguels could be mean but they didn't kill you because you didn't like tradition. Anyways, it felt nice to talk with someone who he could relate with on some level.

Hmf, guess he won't let up on calling me grandma. Oh well, I should've figured he'd try and make some snarky joke out of me just simply explaining how I am. Eh, I suppose at this point, I wouldn't want it any other way. Most people would probably be too serious about it, or ask if I knew this or that person. I'd rather not have to answer those sorts of empty questions. Taking Theo's hand as he helped her up off the ground, Aea said, "Yeah, I agree, we should keep moving. Even if that was the last of these specific hunters, I'd feel safer once we cross the border into Bern, where any more potential Sacaeans still after you or I would more than likely just turn around, rather than take the time to explain to the Bernese guards what's going on."
Taking a deep sigh, Aea headed back toward the road alongside Theo. "Well, this has been quite the interesting day, since I first met you yesterday. We ran into two groups of hunters, found out that we're both shifters, albeit very different kinds, and we managed to go from awkward and somewhat annoying acquaintances, to what I'd like to think is the beginning of a longer lasting friendship. I'm glad I got to meet you, Theo. You're quite the interesting individual, I must say. Take that any way you will."
In her mind, Aea was secretly wondering whether showing Theo her dragon form was a good idea. Thoughts of him being some kind of spy were not absent from her, but the rational side of her kept batting way the thoughts. She did fear though that someone could have seen them just a bit ago, someone that neither had been able to notice or smell, but based on how good Theo's scent was in his rabbit form, she doubted this as well.

Getting to Bern would definitely end this whole manhunt quite quickly. It'd be very unlikely for people to actually believe a rabbit man tried to kidnap children and not think it's just some kind of Sacaean fairytale. Well at least I think so, from my knowledge, taguels are still a thing of mystery to most regular civilians that aren't in the know of adventurer business...
As both of them started walking, Theo closed his eyes, letting his hearing being his guide as he sometimes liked to do. The road was plain and straight too, so simply focusing on nature and its natural ambiant noises was quite relaxing. While Theodore was quite a fan of human civilisation and its advances and creations, he did also respect nature, something which might surprising to people who know of his personnality. To be honest, while he is quite a nihilist in the sense that values are inherently non sensical, he did respect and enjoy things which weren't restricted by mental and esoteric boundaries. For example, nature itself is an organism which does not follow any particular rules, it just... lives. Same for children! A young child is simply an unadulterated and free mind, not restricted by rules yet, it only acts with logic and egoism...
Oh right, there's a conversation going on right now, come on Theo! Don't tune out right now! Somebody just called you its friend for earth mother's sake! That's quite an achievement for you!
Raising open one eye, he grinned a bit at her compliment. "Well thank you, I too, think I'm interesting. Though, I think I pale in comparison to a dragon hundreds of years old. However, make that a dragon wearing FANCY CLOTHES and we're in business! Seriously... I can't wait to buy some better clothes than this... I look like a strange hooligan with this shirt. If you're still up for it, I could show you a few places in Bern I know of. I'm going to need to fill up my stock of weapons anyhow, can't really be a travelling merchant without actual wares now!"

Hm, a real advocate of humility, I see. Guess I should've expected a response like that. It is Theo, after all. Aea listened as Theo talked about not having his proper outfit, giggling a bit. "Yes, I must admit, you look quite odd without your, well, odd getup. You almost look too normal, heheh." As Theo continued talking, Aea pondered the idea of being shown areas of Bern. While she almost said no, she thought for a second before speaking. She'd been to Bern before, though the parts she had seen while there were admittedly fairly limited, so perhaps someone who had presumably been there more would be able to show her where some of the more interesting places were.
"Well, I suppose that sounds like a nice enough plan. Like I said before, I've traveled around, but honestly outside of Sacae, I haven't ever really taken in a lot of the more subtle and hidden gems that places like Bern would have to offer to those who better know the place. I would love to see the places that you find interesting. And it's not like I have anything else as a priority. I was just, well, wandering there, after all. No purpose intended really, aside from what may get in the way or provoke me to action. So, what sort of places did you have in mind exactly? Actually, wait, nevermind. I don't wanna know! Let it be a surprise!" Now Aea was definitely looking forward to whatever type of tour Theo had planned for her. It seemed interesting, and would hopefully be less tiring and stressful than trudging through the wilderness and dirt roads.
