[h3]Aureia, of gold, commerce, wealth, [/h3][i]and the far less important, trivial aspects of travel and luck[/i]

Well, those were certainly some strange looking creatures within the shrubbery. Sort of cute, if Aureia had to say so herself, although she had enough experience with certain animals in the past that she knew that cute didn’t necessarily mean harmless…

She was pretty sure they were harmless anyway, especially when you had the goddess of hunt nearby, and oh dear, it looked like Alasayana wanted to hunt the strange looking deer. Were they edible, though? [b]“Hmm… that does raise a question though, cute as the local fauna may seem… can we actually eat them? Will they taste good?”[/b] At the very least, even in their reduced state, Aureia was positive mortal poisons or inedible fauna wouldn’t hurt gods. The question of whether they’d find the meat tasteful, on the other hand…

Well, at least she knew some good recipes from her time hanging out in mortal cities. It was only a shame they didn’t have a full palace kitchen, and they would have to settle for field roasting any meat they hunted.

The goddess of commerce rolled her eyes at the sun god, but she did at least half agree with him. She still didn’t want to dally for much longer in the forest, but she recognized the need to hunt, if only to give their new mortal friend some sustenance. 

She yawned. [b]“Come now, O’Menus. I dislike this forest as well, but I suppose we will need to make camp at some point… why don’t we scout ahead to find a suitable spot while ‘Yana does her thing?”[/b]
