He listened to her story but he didn't think she was telling him the whole truth. But for now he'd let it slide she'd probably tell more later with how much she talked. "I see... well I can understand why you would want to look for somewhere else to live then. Though it's still taking a risk to trust a stranger who wandered into town." He was just going to say she was lucky he wasn't that type, most would have tried to take advantage of her in her situation. On top of things her looks were far from something that you could just shrug off, that could have landed her in trouble as well. Yet at the same time she seemed to have some aura about her that said she could handle her own if it came to it.

"hrm?" He looked at her being drawn out of his thoughts. "Don't thank me yet, we haven't gone that far." He never mentioned a word about her still going on about paying him, he didn't need money he had enough to cover whatever they'd need easily. Though that was thanks to his past even if he didn't like thinking about it he did have it to thank for tat at least. "Your hardly anything to put up with.." He laughed a little though it was weak sounding and had a slight hint of sadness in it, it seemed he thought of a memory that he'd rather not.

The sudden sound caught his attention as well as he stood from where he was, his pole arm in hand as he faced the forest. "guess we'll see if this village has one as well.." he said it more to himself then anything but it wasn't under his breath so she surly heard it. There were such beasts as the ones in myths and legends but they were very rare. Really he hoped it wasn't one such beast they were hard to kill and it was rather a shame to put down such a magical being.

The odd noise didn't sound again but there seemed to be movement in the forest near the edge, it was too dark to see so pinpointing where the rustling was from was next to impossible. It may be silly to believe in such tails of two headed monsters and horses with horns.. but he had learned a few things in his travels. Some such tales shouldn't be shrugged off.
