Kaleeth shook her head. "No, I not...I do not think anyone I know will be coming. Living in the village is hard work, many are busy. I only have time because I am preparing for the wamasu hunt and...this is preparation. I am sure you can give much help, even alone."

Ahnasha was the first to finish her meal, as usual, but she didn't quite feel like heading to bed yet. She probably would in a few minutes, given her normal energy level, but not at the moment. A question formed in her mind as Kaleeth spoke, so she decided to satisfy her curiosity. "So Kaleeth, you said you have to hunt a wamasu, right? I have heard them mentioned a few times since we arrived in Black Marsh, but I can't say I really know what they are. Do you think you could give a good description?" 

Kaleeth still had to listen closely to comprehend what she asked, and Ahnasha wasn't accustomed to speaking as slowly as Kaleeth was used to. Nevertheless, she understood her question and thought for a moment on the answer; mostly with how to phrase it. "Well...they are big, very big. Their body is like a crocodile, but...giant. Their scales are like armor, and it is real hard to cut through them. They have few...week-ness-es. They have giant mouths that bite people in half in one bite, they are big enough to crush you with just their tail. But, they are...not fast. It is dangerous, but a group can hunt them. Also, they can shoot lightning from their mouths."

Ahnasha couldn't help but to give a slight chuckle. Even if what she described sounded fiercely deadly, it sounded like something she would want to kill one day. A fearsome beast like that would be worthy prey, and a true test of her own skills, and those of the pack. "And you intend to hunt one? It seems like there would be easier prey out there than one of those beasts to feed everyone. Why do you want to kill one, if they are so dangerous?"

"It is test...a test. The last test before I am a full hunter, and not an app...apprentice. All hunter, what is the word...initiates have to be a part of a wamasu hunt, then make our armor from its scales. The armor is tough, almost like metal, but much lighter, like leather. That is why it is...tradition for us to wear it." Kaleeth explained. 

"Hmm, leather armor as tough as steel? That actually sounds pretty...tempting." Ahnasha commented, glancing to the others. Even if she couldn't hunt at the moment, it wouldn't always be that way. If those scales were as tough as Kaleeth was describing, then it would create a good reason for Ahnasha to start wearing armor.
