All this time that they had been 'talking' to each other, Alya had never noticed how strange her apparel was until she sat down. Usually, hunters wore mostly brown clothing, but her clothes were mostly gray and pale tan. Alya concluded with the thought that it must be normal to wear that kind of clothing where Rilana comes from.

The longbow seemed a little intimidating and she hoped that she wouldn't have to learn how to draw that. She's tried to pull a shortbow once before, and she couldn't even pull the string past her forearm. To pull a string like the one on the longbow that Rilana had, would definitely make her arms fall off.

She scratched the back of her head thoughtfully as she considered what Rilana had said. Echo was already at least four or five months old by now, which was worrying because the first three to four were crucial... Although, Echo was very responsive to the commands that she had taught him a few weeks after she had become his mother. Echo hadn't shown any signs of independence since she got him, other than his habits of wandering off to chase something. But she was sure that it would happen someday, which worried her. He might become dangerous..

She brought out a new sheet of paper, scribbling onto it before handing it to Rilana.

[color=6ecff6]"Echo was already about five months old when his parents died. I'm sure they would have taught him some form of hunting. He still learns quickly, since I was able to teach him some signals within a few weeks. Also, I don't think you should try teach me how to use a bow.. I can't pull the string."[/color]
