He would have missed Ruwin's approach had Leroy not alerted him ahead of time. He looked to his left just in time to find the brute standing close. Although he had been mildly started by the sudden appearance of another, it hadn't been evident across his face. Eyes of ice met his, studying him briefly before concluding he was choosing to travel with him. He certainly didn't mind, he had missed the man's company since his arrival into the Rift. Moving his head to gently touch Ruwin's shoulder in greeting, a tender puff of air left his nose. It was then that he noticed the other spiders mingling on Ruwin's body, scattering blissfully and even looking at Leroy.
Leroy seemed pleased to be back by its own kind, skittering off Vynter's head for a moment to go a reminiscence. The boy let him, not worried that he would leave him for good, and instead kept his pacing even with the buckskins. Although the grullo couldn't hear the man even if he was speaking, it seemed evident to both of them that it wasn't needed. They were the kind of men who were perfectly content with silence.
It was only when Leroy returned and began tugging at his forelock furiously did Vynter realize they were not alone, simply because he did not hear Valkyrie when she had spoken. Turning his head out of curiosity his eyes met those pretty blues he had been so infatuated by. So surprised to see her here again in this place he came to an abrupt stop, staring at her intensely with eyes wide. The memories came flooding back of their previous encounter, of the distaste written all over her face and the way she easily dismissed him. How he had felt bile rise in his throat and looked at his back to find the source of all his problems.
He wasn't supposed to see her again. Not in this state. He was supposed to meet her again when he was no longer wrong. Uncertain on how to respond to her sudden appearance (and understandably not hearing anything she had asked) the boy quickly ducked his head and looked away; not wanting to acknowledge her at this time. She hadn't been pleased with him giving her attention before, so why would this time be any different. As he took a step back he gave Ruwin a quick glance, expression subtly unsure, before slowly turning away from Valkyrie and back towards his original task.
