She had struck true.

Seelay sighed at Sionna's celebratory antics, but she was pleased at that her arrow had pierced the deer in a way that would limit its suffering. If it yet lived, it would not be for much longer given she had struck it either through the heart or the lung. Preferably the heart, but a destroyed lung would also be relatively quick as long as it was damaged enough.

Before she could check her kill, however...

The Kyrnith was here.

Seelay had never seen the elder beast in person, though she had heard of it even before Akando's explanation. She knew very little of it, and her curiosity was undeniable.

But they had to tread carefully.

They had done nothing to earn its ire, as far as she was aware, but even so it was possible the creature would take issue with their actions if they did something untoward.

"It's as the Raam says, Father of Wind and Wood," she began, one eye still on the body of the most distant deer carcass, "We don't want to harm your kin, but instead to take what we need to sustain the village through these difficult times."
