Invited into a hunting group

I continues to hunt some monsters, not just the slimes but also several giant worms, giant bugs, even a mushroom monster. Sometimes I considers hunting some of the bunnies or birds but since they were not considered monsters, I prefers not to harm them. Once in a while, I will sit down to rest and using my knife to make more arrows using the loots from the monsters and tree branches.

It is during my latest break that someone approaches me. At first, I notice that he is talking with several people as they seem to be discussing something while once in a while he throws a glance at my location before finally, he approaches my sitting location under a tree. As he approaches, I takes in his physical appearance... he is obviously a human male, probably isn't much older than my equivalent of human age, a long sword hangs on his hips and a light metal armor on his body identifies him as a swordsman. His skin is tanned but not overly so, shows that he is an outdoor type.

Once he is close enough, he speaks while rustling his dark red hair fashioned into spikes with his armored hand, "Umm... excuse me.... my name is Edward... as you can see, I'm a swordsman. I... I mean, my party and I noticed that you seem to be hunting alone and... umm... we're in need of a long range support in order to hunt stronger monsters..."

I looks at the human straight in the eyes which seems to cause him to be nervous as he gulps once as he mutters under his breath. My elongated ears catches the words yet I make no attempt to speak as I waits for him to continue. Finally, he speaks again, "It's... umm... if you don't mind... would you join our group?"

Finally he speaks his intent, I continues to look at him straight in the eyes as I tries to determine his true intent. I am by no means an expert mind-reader but I heard before that a person with hidden intent will be intimidated if you looks at him straight in the eyes. After a while, I finally speaks, "What monster are you planning to hunt anyway?"

I haven't given him a positive answer but the man seems relieved enough on the fact that I shows an interest in his offer. With a much clearer voice than before, he speaks again, "We're planning to hunt the night wolves. Apparently, a pack of them has made the plain not far from here as their habitat and they has been harassing the people making their way from this town and the next, there has been no human fatalities but it is still a matter of concern. There's a reward for their extermination and their pelts supposedly fetch quite a price in the market. We wouldn't mind sharing it with you if you join us."
