Edith
*She sighed as she sat just inside the tree line, watching and listening. She was watching with her minds eye, her eyes closed as she listened to the sounds of the forest. Her mind sorting out the differences between what she truly wished and the much smaller game.*

*She let her eyes open and slowly removed her bow and and arrow of their place on her back. The scents and smells were exactly what she was looking for. She slowly watched and spotted her game, but then stopped.*

"Damn, no sense in orphaning a youngling" *Letting the fawn and it's child go back into the forest, the morning so far proving to be a dud*
Benjamin
*Today was a fine morning. Yes, it was cold, but nothing he couldn't handle. Though, sometimes he wished there was a place he could easily rest in. The man pushed those thoughts aside, continuing on with his trek through the forest.*

*He observed his surroundings with an eye of a hawk. Looking for both prey and predator. While he had no business with the latter, they could still be dangerous if he came upon any.. And likely to let him go. Thus, best to stay on guard.*

*As he walked, he came upon something that was very unexpected. Another living being. An elf by the looks of it too.. He hummed in thought. Deciding nothing bad could happen, the hunter made his presence known to her as he stepped out of his hiding place.*

"Didn't expect to run into anyone. What are you doing so deep in the forest?"
Edith
*She set her bow down and stood up upon seeing the man. Her head tilted slightly, not expecting to see anyone in the forest this early. There was something different about him, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She placed her bow back into it's home and spoke, her voice soft yet deep.*

"Why else anyone would hunt, for a good meal and perhaps a pelt I can sell. I grew up amongst these trees, but this morning things are bit scarce"

*She stretched a bit as she watched him, obviously a hunter as well, she was never truly comfortable around people*
Benjamin
*The man's face was shadowed by the hood. Though she might have she saw some white strands of hair.. But the man didn't seem old enough to have such a shade. Curious.*

*He hummed at her words, almost understandingly.*

"Well, I hardly see anyone in these forests anymore. 'Tis a great place for a hunt, a tragedy not many like to participate."

*He shook his head in disappointment, and a sigh saved him. The hunter's voice was deep too, with a wise air surrounding it. The man then looked around, sniffing... The air?*

"Well, if you are a hunter, would you like to join me in a small hunt? I can smell a herd of deers nearby"
Edith
*She nodded slowly, it had been so so long since she had been on a hunt with another. She lowered her head for a moment before speaking again*

"So many look into these trees and see only what can be taken from it. They do not understand what needs to be given back. If the world were to go back to the older times, they would be absolutely lost"

*She leaned back, stretching her back for a moment before standing back up, heading deeper into the forest, looking back to him to follow*
Benjamin
*The hunter smiled happily at her nod. It seemed the man was pleased to have company for once.. Likely a lonely fellow. Or perhaps he's excited to meet another hunter?*

"Wise words indeed. These forests are undeniably valuable, especially for people like you and I.. It'd be difficult to imagine a time without these woods, not just because of the hunt."

*The man gave a small chuckle, muttering "Perhaps I have grown attached" As he followed the elf, heading deeper into the forest.*
Edith
*Stepping carefully and quietly through the trees and underbrush, eyes always looking and moving. She wasn't used to company really, but it was something she would need to get used to if she was to re-enter the city.*

*Alary stopped for a moment, looking at the different rubbings and markings on the trees, trying to get a sense of where their game was headed*

"What they truly don't understand, is if it is not given back willingly, nature will take it by force. This world is changing quicker than anyone could ever imagine. But nature, she remains undefeated"
