Though she’d not been present for the rebuilding of the guild’s new domain, Hotaru does not intend to miss out on their first official hunt after the move to Torchline. Even when faced with the reality of the creature’s existence, the maiden never flinches. At least, not outwardly. It is a nerve made even more raw by the cloud of Ludo’s quest hanging over her head like the shadow of a guillotine blade. Despite how close to home this hunt will be, the Valkyrie hopes it will distract her sufficiently from the long, slow progress ahead.
Sah is a familiar face, and Ru touches her hand to his elbow briefly in greeting, a flash of a smile like a struck match on her lips. Fading out before anyone else can notice it.

Gazing out over the horizon, she lends one ear to the conversation at hand, the other turned inward to her own thoughts.
“If it’s guarding the barrow, antagonizing it even from a distance could lure it more into the open. Is anyone capable of illusions or distanced attacks?” There’s no sense in mentioning her own.

Hotaru brings all her items and a pack with provisions and light camping gear.
