The woodlands had been rather bare with few animals about. The partridge had been an easy catch, but Alysia felt more tired than she should. Recently she had begun to feel her years, and she had been hiding it as best she could, for fear of being sold off as useless. Her master turned, bringing Alysia out of her thoughts and back to the real world [i] [b]"Alysia, bring the patridge to the kitchens and have them prepare it for lunch.

Is it for us?[/b] He went to grab the bird out of Alysias hand, only for her to pull it away at the last second, almost causing him to lose his balance. [b]"Yes I caught it. No it's not for us. It's for the dogs. The wolf caught a rabbit, and it wasn't much better than this bird. We'll likely be having rabbit for dinner.[/b] Alysia threw the bird down onto the table.

[i]Shes so great, I'm so glad we're friends[/i] Kasper mused to himself as he began to prepare the bird,
