<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4040FF"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">Alice Green</span><br/><span style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 116%;">'The Huntress'</span></span></div><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Alice didn't imagine Peter would understand her father. She understood him, though. And he was a good person. Her brother, not so much. Or maybe he was, in his own way. But Alice didn't admire her brother as she admired her father. She didn't understand him, either. There was a big difference there.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #4040FF">"I didn't imagine you would understand a guy like my father. Thought you'd think he was a dreamer and a moron. I guess he was a dreamer, in his own way. But he wasn't stupid. He had a kind of instinctive wisdom, you know. He knew things, but he didn't sit and think a lot about those things. He acted on them. Not much talking, not much planning, just acting. And I admired that on him."</span></span><br/><br/>Alice sighed softly. <span style="color: #4040FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">"My brother - Joe - he was ambitious. He wanted more than we had, he was never happy with anything. I don't know, maybe ambition alone is not bad. I am ambitious too. But I am willing to work hard. He wasn't. I don't even think he would have gone into the mining field if he didn't feel that was what everyone expected of him."</span></span><br/><br/>Alice took a piece of meat as well and start chewing on it. Her mind wandered for a moment while she thought about what to say in response to Peter's questioning.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4040FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">"No, I'm not fearless. I'm a stubborn bitch. And I don't like people telling me to do things their way when my way's better. So, I prefer to work alone. I get my results faster this way."</span></span><br/><br/>She chewed a bit more and asked her own question. <span style="color: #4040FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Why 'Viking'?"</span></span></div>
