Adawolfa: sharpens knife Ready for the hunt, or still scared shitless? smirks
I’m ready but I’m not great with knives
gives Chloe a small hunting knife Here, this one is easier to use. It won't kill anything instantly, but it will give you time to get close before the animal dies. And if you miss your target, it won't do much damage. Are you sure you're ready for this though? The hunt can be dangerous, especially at night.
looks up at the moon Alright, tonight we hunt. We're going after a deer. They're not as easy to catch as rabbits, but they are much more satisfying to eat. Come on. takes off running into the forest
stops suddenly and puts her paw on Chloe's shoulder Wait. Stay silent. listens intently Do you hear that? It sounds like... looks around there. points to a nearby thicket
draws her knife A rabbit. Come on. moves quietly towards the thicket Stay close to me.
crouches down behind the thicket You see it? nods Now wait for my signal. holds up one finger Then we both jump out and grab the rabbit. Ready? holds up two fingers Go!
grabs the rabbit and holds it in the air triumphantly Yes! We did it! Now we just have to cook it. looks at Chloe Are you okay? You look a little pale.
sighs Good. starts walking back through the forest Let's go back to my den. I know a place where we can cook this rabbit without being seen. And then we can eat it together. Sound good?
looks at Chloe So, how are you feeling now? After all that. looks away Don't feel like running away again, do you?
sighs Come on, let's go home. continues walking through the forest
stopping suddenly Hold on. Why are you following me? Why not go back to your pack? You can't stay with me. I'm a loner. I don't belong to any pack. You don't want to be stuck with me forever, do you?
looks away from her So, where do I go?
looks away from Chloe I...don't know. You'll find your own pack, I'm sure. Or maybe you want to become a loner like me. Either way, you should probably leave now.
No. looks at her I’ll come with you. I can be a loner.
looks at Chloe Really? You want to join me? To become a loner?
sighs Okay, come on. But you have to promise me something.
watches her carefully What is it?
looks at her Promise me that you'll never try to change me. That you won't try to make me fit in with the rest of the pack. Can you do that?
hesitates I...I think so.
looks at her You have to promise me that you won't try to fix me. That you'll accept me as a loner, and that you'll never try to change me. Can you do that?
looks at her Do you promise?
