It Feels Right

Azzurra nodded with a little grin when he told her that they would see what they found when they got there. Knowing that the hunt was open for interpretation and maybe even dependent on what she could find was daunting and exciting at the same time. She had never led a hunt before, only ever following what Balthier suggested. As they crossed over to the opposite shore she started thinking about all the things that he had taught her so she'd have all of it fresh on her mind when they got to their destination. The trip across on the ferry was a pretty quick one and she followed Balthier out past the Aspen Dams to reach the cedar wood forest on the other side. She hadn't been out this direction very much, but with the island still more or less in the distance it wasn't like they had really gone far.

She started searching the area with him, looking for any scents or signs of anything they could go after, glancing up at him when he told her to tell him what she found. She nodded and gave him a smile before getting back to work, her nose to the ground as she looked for anything of interest. She spotted a few tracks that she couldn't immediately identify, but once she found the scent trail that went along with them she recognized it as some wild boar from meals they had had in the past. It wasn't something she had hunted before, but it was the first thing she came across. "I think there's been some wild boars through here recently," she told him quietly, looking around through the trees. The tracks led off through the trees, the ground still soft from all the recent rains so their tracks were pretty noticeable. "Maybe we can build a trap for them over here and then track them down and drive one of them this way?"
