He would stalk over a deer. With a whistle, his thylacoleo rushed in to kill it. ``Good girl, Chosen!`` he lightly shouted. After patting his dear pet, he would skin the deer and separated the meat from the bones. He then would put the hide on the thylacoleo's back, then he would put the meat in a preserving pack on Chosen. He then squatted down, observing nature. Looking for his next prey.

*Duncan had left his jewelry shop in his trusted assistants hands and had traveled quite far in search of a specific precious stone. His journey had already been a day, and the road led through the elder forest. Lunch time was approaching, so he decided to stop at a nice forest opening, a little further from the main path. There he was sitting on the ground, leaned his back against the tree, and had some dried meat with bread for lunch. His pet black raven was sitting on his lifted knee, asking for crums of bread.*
 
*While enjoying his food, Raven reacted to some noise, warning Duncan. He lifted his sigh from the bread and looked around. From afar, he noticed some movement but didn't react. His eyesight, even with glasses, didn't quite make up what or who was further, but with his excellent hearing, he heard some activity, seemed to be more than one creature or person there.*

``Alright Chosen, let's go hunt for something else.`` He would follow behind the thyla as it slowly approached Duncan. Sniffing out his position slowly, to try not to attract anything unwanted.
David
*Duncan kept his eyes front, now seeing a little better, as the silence from afar came his way. Not sure if it was a threat or not, he dropped his lunch next to him, put his hand on the long knife holter, which was attached to his thigh.*
 
*First he saw some creature approaching, then behind him he saw a taller human-like silhouette.*
 
"Hello there..." *Duncan spoke with a clear  voice to the approaching person to see how this possible interaction may lead.*
Paula
He was suprised to see another person. He would stare at the wise-looking man. ``Hey. Uh, did I interrupt you doing something?``
David
*He relaxed a bit, catching that the other person's voice was calm and not thretening. He removed his hand from his long knife and gave the approaching person a polite smile.*
 
"No, not at all... Just surprise to see other person this far in the woods." *Duncan answered as he patted Raven, who was still sitting on his knee.*
 
"Sucsessful hunt?" *He pointed out his observation about the hide he noticed.*
Paula
``Uh, yeah, I killed a few deer, nothing bigger. What're you doing out here?``
David
"Having lunch," *He shrugged as he lifted his dropped bread and dried meat from before,* "I still have a long way to go, so this spot seems perfect for a break."
 
*Duncan lifted up his sack with dried meat and offered it to the toung man:* "Would you like some?"
Paula
``Sure. And if you want, I could help guide you throughout these parts. I'm always out here hunting.``
David
"Here you go," *He gave some food to the stranger,* "Thank you, I know my way for now, but..." *Duncan smirked a little,* "I wouldn't mind a companion for a while... I have my friend here," *He pointed at the Raven,* "But he is not much of a talker.*
 
*Duncan laughed about his own joke.*
Paula
``Thanks for the quick food, I appreciate it. Sounds like we're walking together, then. I haven't talked to another person in a good minute, except for selling game.``
David
"I am done too..." *Duncan stood up, got his things together, and let the raven fly free for now. He was loyal to him, so the bird would keep close.*
 
"I am moving more to the north; is it really your way too?" *He asked to be sure. Duncan felt relaxed in his presence because the young man seemed friendly and not a danger.*
 
"I am Duncan, by the way." *He offered to shake hands with the stranger.*
Paula
``Yeah, north is where larger animals are. More money the better,`` He would laugh. He would grasp Duncan's hand and shook it. ``I'm Ethan.``
David
"Nice to meet you, Ethan!" *They started their journey, moving back to the main path; it was much easier to walk toward the thick woods.*
 
"So what's your story?" *Duncan asked as he took his pipe out of his pocket and started to cleat it to prepare it before putting tobacco in it.*
Paula
``Parents became deceased when I was young so I had to learn what I wass good at to make money.``
