It was a big surprise to learn of who had followed him. An ear flicked as Euphemia joined him at his side, her gaze of sunset gold meeting the distant elk herds that collected in the fields. Her voice was barely a whisper as she spoke to him. Yes, I have heard news of them a little further north of us. I have been meaning to seek them out myself to speak with them. He glanced at her for a moment, then looked back to the herds.

So long as we don't hunt on their lands, it should be bine. Elk do not belong to anyone nation. Food is meant for all, and to only take what you need. Wouldn't you agree? Such is the balance of this world. N​ó​ttin had begun to really understand how things worked in the world, slowly gaining wisdom and confidence the more he experienced. And maybe, just maybe, he could put it all to good use.

Care to go on a hunt with me? Depending on if anyone is suitable, it would make a good meal for the pack, at least for a little while. It's important to gather up food stores for the winter while we still can. He wasn't sure of her hunting skills, but would be willing to teach and guide her if need be. Also if she wanted, to show off what she was made of, without the pressure of him possibly telling her what to do. Better to give her the spot light, to respect her and get to know her. Hopefully that would make her happy and bring them closer together as family.
