Fendros closed his eyes and exhaled in disappointment at Ahnasha's defensiveness. "No Ahna, I know. I..." Fendros tried to speak, but let her finish.

The grand white souls, just as Ahnasha wished it hadn't, appeared to give Fendros more hope. "Not if they don't know about," he replied immediately. "Look, I understand that hunting large beasts will be harder, but there is no reason that we cannot try to use both black and grand souls, is there? A few go missing, who asks further? We take one that we can get away with, that is one less soul that we have to trap by killing an enemy outside of the view of others." Fendros lifted his other hand to gesture with his fingers together. "You said it yourself, this will take a while. Anything that can save time, we should take it."

Fendros turned his head and let his arm fall loose. "If nothing else, if we can fill a grand soul gem instead of running out of black souls when you need to renew it, we won't have to be in a desperate situation."
