Ankari was perfectly fine leaving it at that. An enemy he'd have contented himself never seeing again being a part of the community is one thing. Needing to constantly interact is another. He can avoid, evade, keep a wide berth. He can... but when he sees Khoriya at the festivities Ankari cannot help himself. He stays at a distance, but his one eye is watchful of what the worg is getting up to. Anytime he strays from sight, Ankari shuffles on after him to be sure he's not causing trouble. He justifies that he's the Inquisitor, it's his duty to be watchful and seek truth.

Spending his evening completely focused on this isn't cultivating a fixation. Surely not. He's just being mindful. With denial on the brain, he sees Khoriya sniff and eat a few stray pieces of the spiked food. Oh. Oh no-

When the wolf is clearly starting to feel it, Ankari breaks away and follows after him. Khoriya ran off somewhere- was he chasing some poor fool he isolated and was going to jump out and attack?

Ankari turns down an isolated street and doesn't realize he's the poor fool chasing the hungry wolf.
