you're so warm | travelling merchants

[hushsound.]

The last time that the traveling merchants by the names of Reed and Goatus had visited the Typhoon, Hushsound had not been around. Or rather, he had been around, he just hadn't been awake. He had still been in his coma, trapped in his own mind and struggling against monsters of his own making in an effort to escape. It hadn't exactly been a fun time, and the wolf much rather would've been up and about around the Typhoon, present for when the rather odd couple had come around before. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to back then, but now things were different. Hush had awoken from his slumber, and he had no intentions of ever doing anything similar again. Of course, he hadn't meant to do it in the first place, but it seemed as though the inner turmoil he had been feeling before the coma was gone, which hopefully meant that had been what the purpose of it was. Or at least, that was what the canine could hope. He had to rationalize it somehow, so that he wouldn't be living in constant fear every time he went to take a nap or decided to sleep for the night. An existence without sleep... well, it just wasn't possible, not unless you were some kind of supernatural being. And as heroic as Hushsound was, he was not, in fact, supernatural.

The first few days after waking up had been rough, and had involved a lot of him just working to regain his strength, eating and drinking slowly so that he didn't end up getting sick and undoing all the progress that he had made. It had been frustrating, especially for a male who was normally used to being up and about at most times, but he had gotten through it eventually, putting back on most of the weight that he had lost. He still felt a little sluggish at times, and knew that soon he would need to do some training to regain his old prowess in battle – even if they weren't under as much threat as when he had first gone to sleep – but for now he just needed to get out of Goldie's hut and see the rest of the Typhoon. He had been asleep for so long that it practically felt like an entirely new place, if he was being honest. There were so many new faces... new children, including his sister's little ones. He was certainly going to fall behind if he didn't get out a bit more, which was why he had found himself stepping out onto the sand, shaking out his dark fur and heading towards the tavern to see who he could interact with.

However, around halfway to his destination, the hero of the seas was distracted by a new, unfamiliar voice reaching him. Head tilting curiously, Hush decided to change course, pushing through a few trees until he made it to where Reed and Goatus were patiently waiting. Their little sales pitch was rather amusing, and Hush found a faint smile coming to his muzzle as he crossed the last bit of distance to in front of the pair. There wasn't really anything that the canine needed that was physical, and he hardly had much to trade... but he was curious about something. Clearing his throat, the mostly mute wolf stretched a long leg out to claw into the ground, desperately hoping that Reed would be able to read his words so that he wouldn't have to speak, "You said that you take on contracts to look for things... will you look for people, as well?" Ever since Hushsound had woken up, he had been desperately wondering where his boyfriend, Kilius, had disappeared off to. One of the male's first questions had been about the other's whereabouts, but none actually knew where the maned wolf had decided to go after his boyfriend had fallen into his deep sleep. Perhaps Reed and Goatus could help him, somehow.
