zephyr
You've never been much for hunting, but as you watch the young man knock his arrow and send it flying from the bow you can't help feel some admiration for his triumph over nature. The ramphire falls to the ground with a thud; you wince, knowing the life is leaving it, knowing it'll be leaving the rest of its herd behind. Will they even notice? Do they feel loss?
Probably not. How nice, to be a beast.
Hopping to your feet you begin to meander your way down the rocky trail. You'd climbed Apopo to survey the damage from the eruption, and had been pleasantly surprised to find it rather minimal. Some of the old paths and trails would need to be carved back open, but it was nothing that couldn't be accomplished in a season with some dedicated hard work. You hadn't expected to see another soul up on the hillside; now you approach with your hands in your pocket, jutting your chin out at his kill.
"Good kill. You plannin' to sell?" you ask, looking over the slender man. "I'd be happy t'help ya carry it to the market. In exchange for a discount, a'course."
