Silvio laughed a bit at that. A schedule, huh? Outside the full moon when had he last had one of those? But it'd be nice. Especially if he got to have someone around his territory more often who he wasn't just helping to get back out of the forest.
"Deal. Pick a day that works well for you and we'll make that happen."
The pause that followed was thoughtful as Su-jin pondered his schedule. Typically, he balanced his time between work, Tiras, and his own hobbies. So finding time for a new friend wouldn't be difficult.
"Would Tuesdays work for you?" He's not going to make any assumptions about what Silvio's days look like. "Any day would be fine, I can adjust things if needed."
"Yeah. That works for me. I'm not sure if you've noticed but I'm not the busiest guy in these woods. Or anywhere really."
He lived a very simple life where he did things to make sure that his territory was cared for. Otherwise it was a lot of time in the quiet. And alone. The only times really shifted was during the full moon for, well, obvious reasons.
"I wouldn't want to presume," he explained. "Waiting until Tuesday will give me time to select some books." He'd offer to cook a meal, but they've already established that probably wasn't Su-jin strongest talent.
"Great. That'll give me time to make sure there's room for any you feel like leaving too." And time to recover before he had to go back to having a normal life again. Business as usual obviously.
"You know, it's going to be so nice having you around when you visit."
"It will be nice to be around." Su-jin had acquaintances, even a few people he'd call friends, but none who were likely to live longer than a century. The thought of a someone he could have that kind of bond with for more than a single human lifetime was an amazing one.
"Yeah. You kind of sound like me. Someone who doesn't get to really have a lot of opportunities to be with others who live for a long time in order to make friends." They were opportunities that his pack later had told him were once much more abundant. Back during a time before the Council. When creatures like them didn't have to hide from the world so readily. Silvio had never known that world himself but he knew it must have been nice.
Su-jin never had a taste of that world either. If he ever had a chance, it was marred by his own innate fear of what he's capable of. For so long, he starved to protect people that he could hardly trust himself to be near them.
"It certainly isn't easy to meet others like ourselves."
"It's not. Not anymore." Silvio let out a sigh. "Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I'd been born even a hundred years earlier. But then I'm grateful for the time I had to know other beings like me. I don't want to change it for anything."
And then he smiled a little. "And I might not have met you."
A thoughtful look crosses Su-jin face, turning his lips down subtly. "I'm not aware of having known any others until The Council arranged my meeting with Tiras. Before that, I only encountered Fomorians."
