Kovac overlooked Addy's hungry repeat appraisal of the chiseled lumberjack, he too trying to wrap his head around what the man was saying. Garren was older than his grandparents would be, and how much older Kovac could not guess. The thought gave him pause. Just middle aged? Alakaks were not just not human in physical appearance, they truly were not human at all. To call him a monster was certainly unfair, to call him a god was giving him too much credit, and he certainly talked no different then he and Addy, even in his liquid gold flirtation. Maybe animosity was not the proper approach to the Akalak. The mongrel Avora reserved his final opinion for the moment.
Garren did take charge, at which Kovac did not take umbrage. His tactics were sound, employing the hunter's skills appropriately, and placing importance upon Aidara's safety. The Avora took his bow in hand, and slid an arrow from the quiver on his back and nocked it to the string, hooking a finger on his grip hand over the shaft to hold it against the bow, ready to draw in an instant. Looking back at the Dek trio, who had remained respectfully silent before the upper caste hunter and healer, and in awe of the Akalak, Kovac gave orders. "Stay in back and keep quiet. Do what he says." The half-breed tilted his head at the large lumberjack. With a glance to Addy and then Garren, Kovac took the point as the entered the woods, careful to keep his steps quiet. If they were going to run into trouble, he wanted to see it before it saw them.
