Ma'tanza spoke softly, with something of a solemn tone. She did not like to think of their inevitable separation any more than Tzirret, and was always hesitant to bring it up. "Ma'tanza understands. She doesn't want you to leave either, but...some things we can't change. You have your pack; your family. It wouldn't be right for you to leave them, and Ma'tanza certainly can't leave hers. We...we always knew that we couldn't stay together forever. 

Ma'tanza brought her hand up to Tzirret's cheek. "You will have to go home soon, but that doesn't mean we'll never see each other again. At least, we can hear from each other. This one doesn't see why we couldn't send letters, or something like that."

Ahnasha's bound arrows had been disappearing not long after they came to rest, so she had considerably less to clean up after her and Fendros' target practice had ended. She dispelled her bow as quickly as she had summoned it, and crossed her arms in pride from her victory. Of course, she was still Fendros' mentor in archery, so her victories rarely came as a surprise, but her accuracy had still been quite good even without the need for comparison. 

When Fendros pointed out the hollow weight, Ahnasha eyed it skeptically. "A reward? Well I can see that being easily abused. It probably isn't anything valuable, else someone would just come up here and take it whenever they were alone. Probably just a trinket or something, but still, it might be something I can show off." She reasoned. Picking up the weight off the ground, she shook it lightly before looking it over for some way of getting it open.
