[hider=Iris][color=lightgreen]Iris was getting increasingly more uncomfortable as he asked the next question, again about her sister. She took a deep breath, "Crimson was... By two years..." She shook her head, she hated having to talk about her in past tense. She wasn't gone. Iris knew exactly where she was, in fact the two of them had be in contact quite frequently. 

Which is why the moment that Shadow mentioned the price of food, she quickly latched onto the topic. She put her plates down to dry before drying her hands and walking over to him. She took a seat next to him, "May I?" She said as she took the papers from him. She pursed her lips looking over them. She had helped her dad with this kind of thing when it was just the four of them... It was on a far smaller scale but she was pretty good at it. She hummed for a moment before looking at him, "Well, why not hunt? I mean, you have meats listed here but we could easily take down a deer and that could last us a good," She thought about it, "Portioned properly probably three days. If you set up regular hunts... twice a week and all caught game are evenly distributed between the pack that is a major cost already off the list."

She continued to look at the list, "And we could probably grow our vegetables during the spring and summer. Maybe make it a whole new job for people. After all, I've seen a few of the warriors who could probably excel growing over fighting. Then it would just be a matter of buying fruits throughout the year and then vegetables throughout the fall winter months."

She handed him back that papers and smiled, "After all, there is nothing wrong with living off the land."[/color][/hider]
