There was a reason he didn't want food, but she didn't know it. The plate ended up going to the dogs of the camp and it wouldn't go to necessarily waste on the ground. Elann was near full by the time he was offered the food, so she couldn't take more of it in. 

Eventually it was time to go, and the denial of her bringing weapons was a curious one to her. It showed on her face and a sudden fear came over her. The thought of entering the woods where the great Bear Goddess resided without weapons meant she would have to trust well in Yahal. At the urging of Noah, she set them aside and nodded.

For the first time in a while she was nice and toasty. She gave him her hand, slightly warm considering it was usually cold, and he led her out of the camp. She tried her best to be quiet, having learned the skill significantly more from the first time she had been hunting. Then she had no idea she had to be quiet or how to walk quietly, but after hunting with his family it began to make sense. 

Aimee came into sight, and Elann had a spike of fear at something undiscernable in the darkness moving toward them. There being no moonlight, no torchlight, she was relying on her husband for sight, but he didn't seem to be worried. As she drew closer, it was seen to be Aimee and there was a breath of relief from Elann. They trekked onward and Elann did her best to remain silent, doing quite well considering. A sense of urgency was growing in her, with nervousness, fear, and worry at what lay ahead. She could sense that something was coming up ahead of them, or their destination was drawing near, but didn't know how or why.

As he let go of her hand, she quickly grasped his again, only to realize he was letting go on purpose and she only then released his hands. As he stood before her, she calmed a bit, letting him soothe her- though that may not have been his intent. She could just make out his face in the darkness under the trees.

"I don't know, maybe?"

The sounds of some bugs at night could be heard but had gone silent in the immediate area, she could hear the wind and trees in the distance only due to her eyes not being able to see much of anything and redirecting her senses. 

"What am I listening for? It's very quiet here."
