In many ways, Arvid simply found Anthemtalon to be absolutely fascinating. After all, while the komodo monitor was able to communicate with them all and seemed to have some semblance of sentience, he was still far more driven by instincts than most of them. This disconnect had led to the dire wolf occasionally watching him from afar, wondering exactly which biological switch needed to be hit in order to mark the difference between someone like Anthem and... well, the rest of them. Still, for the most part, the canine didn't actually think of Ant as lesser. After all, the other did have some level of intelligence, and seemed to be able to listen when warned away from something. In Arvid's opinion, he deserved the same amount of respect as pretty much any other wanderer. Of course, that also meant that Arvid considered him to be just as worthy of criticism as any other wanderer. And this certainly seemed to be a situation worth criticizing, no matter what perspective you were looking at it from.
The male had a bit of a grimace on his face as he approached, watching as Anthem desperately tried to chug down a rather large rock. Arvid had heard of other animals eating smaller rocks to help with digestion, but this? This was something different. Not only that, but the other seemed to be making quite the mess, if the mud and slush being tossed up near him were anything to go by. Shaking his head from side to side, the dire wolf spoke up in a tone filled with rather forced calmness, "Anthem, you can't eat that. It's a rock – it's inedible. Not only will you not be able to digest it properly, but it also won't taste all that good. Plus... you're making a bit of a mess." He flicked his one yellow paw in the direction of the mess in the other's wake, a frown pulling at his muzzle. He hoped that someone else with earth elementals would be able to fix that afterwards, or at least make sure there wasn't a gaping hole for anyone to fall into.
