At his own fault, Verin barely had time to address Alex before Rurik appeared and began bombarding him with questions. Thus, he could only give the elder mage an exuberant nod before he turned his attention to the red head. Who seemed even more excited than Verin, as he nigh bounced on the spot. He had just parted his lips, and had even managed to utter "Yeah, it.." before Chloe seemed to meander over and cut him off.
As she spoke, inquiring about the Wyvern, just like everyone else, Verin nearly lost his train of thought. Letting his eyes yearningly fall over her frame, as they had innumerable times. Though he had never been sure how to approach her, Verin had always found Chloe to be beautiful. In fact, he thought she was incomparably so. Hence always found himself flustered in her presence. Currently, he was experiencing such an episode.
Having quickly redirected his gaze to meet her eyes, smirking slightly as they did. The young mage then endeavored to explain himself to the bunch once again. Albeit in a calmer manner.
"Yeah, I did. It was about half a mile down, west of the first fork on the trail. Took me a while to track it, thought it was a bear at first. I tried to attack it, but the damn thing's fast. Swatted me clean out of the air. Probably would've ate me if i hadn't introduced Esclarin to the side of its jaw..." He let his words trail off as he realized he'd probably angered the beast. But that didn't stop him from breaking a smile. Which broadened as he looked to Alex expectantly.
"That thing's trouble right? Let's hunt it! I mean come on, what'd be better for a feast than fried Wyvern meat?" As he firmly threw his fist against the open palm of his opposite hand, a brief black flame flickered from within his palm.
