"Aye. I work to support my kin with the coin I get for wild game. The pelts are valuable for a tanner, Arcadia pays well for the antlers, and either I sell the meat at market or salt it for later. Usually rabbits and foxes, and elk or deer. It's a lot of work transporting larger game, as they have a lot of meat on them. I only hunt bear on occasion, the meat is quite fatty and the bears themselves are formidable. And with Ramondir abandoning his family, I did what I could to support them."
Keith
"That is kind and admirable of you... Talking about Ramondir abandoning his family. Have you heard much of Tia- I mean Litja lately. I haven't seen her in a few years now."
Alaina
"She and her brother are doing well. Last I heard, Liltja had gone south to Helgen with her son Tristan, and Kolgruf was serving among the Stormcloaks."
Keith
"Son?! I didn't know she had a child during her time away? With whom did she have this child with?!"

*Bjorns once confident and serious tone was replaced with shock.*
Alaina
"She didn't have a child, she found him. Tristan had no parents of his own, so she took him in as her son. He'd be about... Seven years old by now, as she found him two years ago at the age of five. If Liltja knows his birth parents, she hasn't said anything."
Keith
"I see... You're brother tarnishes your clans charity and kindness. You and Liltja continue to impress. I sometimes forget you two are Gray-Manes."

*Bjorn noticed his calm tone and quietly adjusted his voice yet again with his overbearing confidence.*

"How far is this bear?"
Alaina
"I haven't seen a bear just yet, we are heading to an area where bears are common. And we are getting close. Look ahead."

*Beldrin surveyed the land for a second, pointing to a rock face against the hills. Though it was partially hidden by the trees, there was a dark patch behind them that could only be the mouth of a cave.*

"If the bears are still present, we will find one there."
Keith
*Bjorn remained silent as he followed Beldrin through the woods. He reflected on how Tia was and pondered on how much she might of changed.*
