I turn back to reply to Veragwen and Raena but find that they're both already walking away back towards the cabin. [i]I was going to have them take the meat, but I guess I'll just keep at my pace.[/i] Despite it being wise to head back to the cabin right then, we didn't have much in the way of meat with only three or four rabbits to our name and I couldn't let that lie. Making room in the pack, I put the meat inside and return to stalking the prairie once more, searching for more rabbits or maybe even something slightly larger. After stalking for another few minutes and only getting three more rabbits, I concede to head back to the cabin. All the game creatures had gone to ground to avoid the storm and it was time I did so as well.

The walk took me another several minutes, something that was of my own doing because I had gone further than I should have trying to find meat for us. Spotting the cabin, and those on the roof working on it, I wave. "And the victorious hunter returns with six rabbits!" I couldn't resist the chance to make the joke, and I was hoping it would defuse the situation some. However, maybe a serious word with the Noble couldn't hurt, and that word would need to come from either myself or Veragwen.
