Back to Eden

He lowly chuckled as she had insisted she may not have been the best hunter and that she'd more than likely slow him down than help. "I think you'll do just fine." She was right, being on her own would suffice enough for his task. He was at least overly capable to pick up where she slacked off, he had done it before. Somehow getting that extra time with her was enticing and maybe not much of a secret between them from their last time together. For now though, it was just work.

He helped finish up her own at home task, planting the pieces of the stalks which was easy for him to follow. Common sense maybe, but he was careful with his paws. Perhaps a stark difference from his burly raft man side though she may not have had the chance to experience that yet.

Once they finished up his gentle paws regrouped with her before he tilted his chin with a raised brow, "I suppose you're ready then?" He'd give her a minute before they would head off. He'd be sure to make hint, though he believed she'd already know to stay quiet the farther they moved out from her camp.

The hunt was honestly fun, regardless if she struggled through any part of it. He didn't mind taking the lead and stepping up where he needed. What he loved most was watching her, admiring how she worked and tried to make her part in the endeavor. He had a flash of Azzurra on his mind, but he threw it out immediately.

With two deer in tow, he made a safe area for one where he could pick it back up on his way home and he carried the other deer back to her camp. Using his knife he would skin and portion it, not so close to where she called home if that's something she would have cared about and soon they would be ready to sit and eat though he expected her to already be relaxing from the run. He joined her, offering a piece of meat and planning on leaving the rest behind for her once they were done here. He settled down ready to take a bite before he mentioned, "Sorry I didn't bring the wine this time, I wasn't expecting to be in anyone's company." It was a bit of a joke with a smile, but he was also far serious. It's what made a good time a great one in his opinion. Drowning out those deep sorrows but also that funny little buzz that came along with it. "Are you staying around here?"
