no need to go anywhere fast

Audra clarified that she did indeed need small prey: squirrels, rabbits, rats. Avantika's face fell before she could even try to hold it up. She suggested traps, and her head shook a soft 'no'. Traps were worse. Maybe some of them were faster than a normal kill, but she couldn't be sure, and anyway, the prey seemed to deserve at least some sort of skill in their death. Plus, she didn't know how to make traps. It would be bad if she messed up some little thing and didn't kill whatever was trapped instantly. She'd heard of animals gnawing off their own limbs to escape traps, and she didn't want to be the cause of such desperation and pain.

"I can do it," she answered, resolved. She was strong, right? It was rough to find out that she actually had some pretty serious vulnerabilities, and she had no choice but to overcome this one. She wouldn't allow herself to fail. What Audra needed, she would provide. She cursed herself for such sudden sensitivity.
