[color=BCBCBC][i]You should’ve let him die…[/i][/color] Sparrow thought to herself, her eyes glaring daggers into Avenue’s back. He hadn’t changed one bit since the night he ran off with Milk’s child. Still a coward, still heartless. From now on she would do no more for him. [color=BCBCBC]“Really? After I saved you from these beasts, that’s what you have to say? I risk [i]my own life[/i] so that you and your people may continue to live yours, but you disallow me to sustain my own life and feed my family? Let me remind you, I had little choice but to follow you because you and your men prevented me from gathering food.”[/color]

Sparrow reached down and grabbed the meat-filled leather pouch before she sheathed her blade, watching as Avenue walked into the church. She shook her head before pulling up her hood and running back into the forest, her feet making little noise as she carefully placed each step. The still bloody ape pelt was draped over her entire back, fur side in as to not soak her clothing anymore. The young woman was headed back towards the Mother’s hunting grounds which were just north of Steelbird Landing. She’d wanted to check a few snares that she’d laid in the days before. Maybe, just maybe Milk could have something other than rice or ape meat this evening.

She didn’t even have to stop her jog to see that the first snare was empty, but fortunately the second and third gave better results. Two rabbits, rather plump ones nonetheless, were caught in the wire she’d laid down. With a quick motion, she snapped their necks and hung them from her pack. Sparrow would skin and clean them when she arrived home.

Not long after, Steelbird landing finally came into view. Home at last. With a nod to the few guards standing by the gate, Sparrow entered into the fine city that she called home. She’d walked this route a thousand times; A left here, walk past the man she bought her daggers from, a quick right and then left again, and finally Milk’s place appeared from amongst the endless rows of homes.

Sparrow walked inside and glanced around the room, greeting the women that were present with a calm voice. [color=BCBCBC] “Good afternoon ladies, I come to bring you fresh meat from the jungle. Where might I find Milk?”[/color] She nodded as a few of them responded, before letting her pack and the leather pouch fall from her shoulder. [color=BCBCBC] “Ape and rabbit today, no deer unfortunately. You have Avenue to thank for that.”[/color] And with that remark, Sparrow went about cleaning and preparing the raw meat so that it could be cooked later.
