Less Work For More Food

Fern had sought out and requested for Basilisk to follow her back to the place that they first hunted together. He has a knack for learning how to hunt and, after their hunt, she had decided to him how to make and use a snare for hunting. Sitting in the clearing with huge boy made of black and blue, the gray girl looks up to him to offers a smile as she begins to explain, “Okay Basilisk. Remember how you said that you can’t run very far when you hunt? Well, I am going to show you how to make snare so you won’t have to rely on others to go hunting and you won’t have to run far to catch prey.”

Basilisk looks like he could get five adult deer and still be hungry. It seems like a good idea for him to know how to go and satiate his hunger by himself instead of emptying a pack’s food store. Pointing to the materials that she laid out before them, Fern explains, “First we need to braid the rope that we will be using.” Pulling three strips of leather toward them that has been tied at one end, she asks him, “Have you ever made one of these Basilisk?” She isn’t asking this to judge the boy but rather to get an understanding of what skills he may or may not have.
