Whatever plant-related trauma the girl had suffered, YukiHana was nevertheless dead set on fighting and that didn't leave Pyotr with much of a choice. [b]'Just a little east of here, about ten minutes walk.'[/b] She gave the reticent Tsukiya a half apologetic, half encouraging smile and led her new found party out of town, doing her best to avoid picking up stragglers enroute. Last thing she wanted was for this particular farming patch to fall victim to over-hunting.

[b]'And here we are. Not much to look at, but these here woods have kept me fed and watered for a week now.'[/b] She used the term woods generously of course; it was little more than a handful of trees set aside in a low valley, just out of reach of the casual wanderer. Only the most enterprising or desperate adventurer would have paid any real attention to the area due to a combination of low mob spawn rates and a lack of decent resource nodes. The only things worthwhile for a half a mile were milling about before the three girls, rooting around in the digital underbrush. [b]'That's what we're after. Young Blazeback Boars; stupidly weak for this area, but they still drop everything the adults do, including meat, tusks and the occasional piece of armour.'[/b] Pyotr herself had no issues massacring the boars and she doubted that they would give Tsukiya any problem either, but YukiHana was still an unknown. She knelt by the girl, giving her a challenging grin. [b]'Whadya say then? Wanna go butcher Pumbaa?'[/b]
