Restless Soul

Chade heard the sound of paws crunching ever so softly on the sand, turning his head as Avacyn drew close.  He had met her first, before all the rest.  It had been a rather fast meeting with an accusation of a broken trap and a deal set.  She was growing up to be quite the beauty.  “Oh, hey Avacyn.” Other than that meeting and her name Chade didn’t know all that much about her either.  The daughter of the leaders, maybe he should know more than that?

“I’m alright.  My brother and I just had a difference of opinion.” That was putting it mildly but he didn’t want to go into real details.  “Might sound silly but we just don’t do that very often.”  Chade shrugged the matter away, it was hardly a small thing but he knew when attention needed to be focused elsewhere.  The problem would be there ready to be worked out later in his mind.

“I was thinking of hunting,”a rueful smile as he added, “kind of hoping to find something with big teeth to hunt.  You know, a bear or something along those lines.”  He gave a moment's pause before adding, “do you like killing predators also?” Chade assumed she found time to train with her parents to become as great of a fighter as they were.
