"I was going to check if you were awake. Although it kinda was pointless since I could smell that thing from a mile away."

Light bit of banter wouldn't be amiss despite Tyron not being in the best of moods. Besides if he couldn't be relaxed with his friend he didn't have much to hope for. He had nothing against Rhys's smoking habit, except perhaps when the concoctions were somewhat too abnormal. The biggest problem was that it was almost toxic to Kane's nose. There ended up an unspoken agreement that Rhys would avoid smoking where the fumes would overwhelm Kane and Kane wouldn't complain about the about the distastefulness of the habit. Not that he found it particularly distasteful anymore. Just like he had become accustomed to the Rhys's so too had he become accustomed to his friend's lifestyle.

Even beneath the pungent odor the smell of burnt meat was still present. Cooked was more accurate, although cooking does require an amount of burning. Needlessly it perked Kane's sense of hunger. He shifted over and sat down, taking the remaining piece of meat as his meal. If Rhys hadn't already eaten before Jester and his smoke then something was a little odd so Kane didn't really check if the meal was intended to be his own.

"Thanks."

Kane's smile was sincere, Rhys was by far the better cook. After all he knew the intimate details about this particular fowl's existence as protein. He didn't particularly eat fast, savoring the the succulent taste whilst trying to avoid the more delicate defects in. Of course he couldn't waste too much time eating and so he polished off the remnants before revealing his discoveries. Dropping the larger bones before Jester if the hyena wanted anything else to gnaw on.

"Well I did find a beautiful view of the sunrise and a particularly bothersome feathered friend. Unfortunately I also caught track of someone else further upstream. I couldn't say for sure but between an hour or two away. No idea who it was but by the strength of the taste my guess is they're bathing where its deeper. Don't you find it unusual for someone to be so far from anywhere?"

In a normal world it would be notably disturbing to say you could taste someone in the sense Kane did. Except he didn't concern himself with that, he hardly knew how the normal world worked. Besides why hide such a small and pointless detail from a friend.
