With the new chapter of his short-lived child ripped away from him, Emmett was once again feeling like a ship adrift from the dock. Sure, he had the kids to look after and the farm to work on, odd edits and finicky bits to do on the barn, but....his heart yearned for something more than that. Something to impress Phoebe with, show her why she'd chosen him, something to feel proud about, excited about, rather than dreary and responsible.
So when he saw the note on his wander about town advertising a monster hunt, it almost felt like fate. The guildmaster himself had spoken to him, seemed open to him coming...so Emmett decided he would.
He didn't tell Phoebe, though. He knew she would likely be concerned for his safety (which was totally unnecessary) and he wanted to surprise her with the story later. The kids were left with a neighbour for the night and Emmett grabbed his woodcutting axe, the tool feeling oddly heavy in his hands now that it was to be a weapon.
Coming to the edge of the woods at the right time, he carried the axe over his shoulder and wore his thick boots and pants, hoping they may work as a kind of armour. Truthfully, he had little idea of what he was doing, but he found himself excited. Coming to Ronin, he smiled and nodded. "Hey. I'm here to help out with the hunt. Emmett, we spoke the other day?"

It burns too bright
I think about my self a lot 'cause it's the only one I've got
I've earned this life
What have I done to earn this life?
