*The hunters finish checking the number of traps they recovered and shortly after two hunters start walking back in the direction we came from with all of the traps and rabbits. This leaves the two of you, Kleid, and three other hunters left in the forest.*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Kleid: Most of us hunters look forward to this part, so you've got nothing to worry about. And like I said, Bret here is gonna be with you in case you run into trouble. *Pats the shoulder of a black haired hunter who rolls his eyes before walking over and offering up a handshake.*
Bret: Guess I'll be sticking with you this hunt. Let's see what you got.

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

*There isn't any noticeable movement in the forest around you besides the two hunters heading back to town.*
Kleid: *Spots you looking at the treeline already and motions for a brown haired hunter to join you. She quietly walks over and waves nonchalantly once you notice her.*

@Darlit Glitch

Oh, hey. Who are you? I'm Keith *Puts out hand*

Kleid: That makes a lot more sense now that I've got the context. Hopefully that'll help you when the hunt starts shortly.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Kleid: *Smirks.* Staying quiet should be priority number one, but beyond that I'll be sending a hunter with each of you in case you run into something that wants to fight you. They should know how to respond to any signals I send out, and they'll let me know how well you did in case you guys decide you want to stay with us hunters for a while longer.

@Darlit Glitch

Me too...
*Scans the treeline and surroundings*

Kleid: Ohhhhh, so it's kinda like how the trainees in the bards quarter deliver messages around town?

@Darlit Glitch

Exactly

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

Kleid: *Blinks a few times before speaking.* I have no clue what mail is, but I guess that makes sense.

@Darlit Glitch

If you wanted to give a gift to someone then you could give it to me and I could give it to them, that'd be mail.

<Snipped quote by Darlit Glitch>

Oh, okay. I'll stay careful. Checking out traps?

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

Eirene? No. Neither is the guy, Kleid.

@Balance

I'll keep that in mind..
*Walks back to where I was before*
I used to be a runner for a mail service, so I'm used to rushing around while being burdened.

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

Kleid: *Gets up after messing with whatever was on ground level again and walks back over with a rabbit and a trap in one of his hands.*
Well, given that you wouldn't normally have much use for them outside of hunting and fighting, I was just curious how you would have gotten used to carrying so many of them around. They aren't exactly light after all, and you've been moving with relative ease.

@Darlit Glitch

Oh, that's...just a second

*Jogs over to Soren and whispers*

So, is that chick in the loop about powers and all that?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Kleid: *Holds back a chuckle.* You can do that if you're up to it, but I was mainly saying that in the context that birds are harder to hit then most mammals in this forest.

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

Kleid: Huh. I was hoping for more of an answer, but that works just as well. *We stop for a moment before me and some of the other hunters spread out and start messing with things on the ground, with some of us holding up a rabbit or two and others making a quick handsign.*

@Darlit Glitch

What more do you want to know?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Kleid: You probably should, since we don't always have the supplies to make more.

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

Kleid: Oh? I figured you must have some experience considering how comfortable you seem to be with your choice of hunting tools.
*Points to the knives and spears you picked out.*

@Darlit Glitch

I'm just highly experienced with them, that's all.

Juila: I don't really know specifically how many people live here, but the best guess I've heard is around 172 or so.
*We end up outside a kinda hot and fairly humid room, which explains why the humidity increased the closer we got.*
This is our heating room, which we use both for keeping this place warm during the winter and for making hot water that we use to clean things.

@Darlit Glitch

You don't just heat the water in the individual rooms?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Kleid: Maybe if we had materials to spare, but they don't really have much on them that's useful outside of feathers. We mainly focus on hunting stuff like deer, with rabbits being a nice alternative at times.

<Snipped quote by CuttleFish>

Kleid: Kleid. You ever gone hunting before Keith? *I start moving slower and more deliberately as we get farther into the forest, with the other hunters doing the same.*

@Darlit Glitch

Nope
