He saw her coming long before she got close to him, and Ethan stood quickly, taking a few steps backwards before he turned and sprinted back into the forest, though the dark, dead trees did very little to hide his form. He didn’t go very far anyway, just enough that she wouldn’t try to approach him. Hopefully she was smart enough to stay away from the wall and didn’t try to follow. The further away from the town he got the thicker the trees began getting, making seeing too far ahead of yourself difficult. However it also made it harder for other things to see you.

A fairly large winter rabbit came racing around the corner, Ethan realised quickly something must have been chasing it. However that thought occupied his mind for only a fraction of a second before he pounced, a long blade of some strange dark material flashing as he pounced on the creature. Listening he could hear more noises as the rabbits pursuer followed the creature’s trail. He quickly picked up the rabbit, backing away from where he’d killed it. It could have been a human hunter… though it was more likely a wolf or fox. Either way he wasn’t sharing.
