There wasn't a way he could trust that those words held true, and this wouldn't be the first hunter he'd exchanged any with either. He had killed a few stubborn ones that wouldn't leave him or heed every warning he'd given to let them leave with their lives. None of them had really known what he was either, and the rumors didn't pinpoint what the creature that made its home around and within these mines were. He'd made a point of making it difficult, nearly impossible, to truly identify what he was.
So, he couldn't believe this one would just pass through and that would be the end of it. The sound of that crossbow was clear enough that some shift had been made, but not if it had been disarmed or not, still held.
"I've already run up against the wolf, and like I said it's not here anymore." His head tipped, taking another look over this hunter. "It would smell you coming," the blood. "I've been trying to keep it out of these passages."
