"Excuse me, can I take but a moment of your time?" Pavel asked as he approached Mathew in the position from where he overlooked the entire new camp of the expedition.
"Oh, it's you," Mathew muttered with his hands crossed on his chest. "Took you longer than I expected to approach me."
The young man looked at and then scanned Pavel from up close.
This particular young hunter caught Mathew's attention quite a while ago already. Ever since his exploits during the battle, Mathew kept a close eye on what Pavel was doing, learning a little bit more about the potential leader of the hunters than just how he acted in times of battle.
And to be frank, what Mathew saw struck so close to home, he couldn't help but entertain the idea of replacing Carol in her position as the official leader of the hunters.
Not because Carol did anything wrong to deserve the demotion, but because Pavel was just such a great fit and had every right to remand a promotion!
