CASSIUS
Strong Hands, Strong Mind, Strong Heart
The office well on its way to being established, things seemed to be coming in order. Slowly but surely, Cassius was content with the hands that had showed up to help, and lend their skills to the cause.

He was taking it upon himself to get to know each of them individually. After all trust needed to come from somewhere right?

So he had asked the first to arrive that day, Roana to join him for a hunt. Though whether they found anything or not was of no consequence. It was about the time spent, and what they could learn from one another.

At the ridge of the land leading into the thicket of trees of the woodlands, Cassius waited. A simple, sturdy Axe in one hand, slung over his shoulder.

On his hip a modified crossbow about the size of a large pistol. A gift he held onto since once upon a pre-bubbled life. It was a marvel of modification as it rotated a bolt after every shot, housing 8 bolts in a given round.

He waited patiently, crouching down against the hilt of the axe. Thick jacket worn to shield off the cold of the passing wind. His hands cupping the snow against his nose before tossing it aside.

Roana knew how to hunt, the basics of it anyways. But to say that she was a hunter would have been a gross overestimation of her abilities. So when Cassius asked her to go hunting with him…well she admitted she had shortcomings in that regard. He hadn’t seem off put. After all, she could still track, and skin things, carry whatever they caught. She would just be following his lead the whole time.

So she arrived, preparing to be spending long hours in the snow. Her hair was tied back in a tight braid, a hat and heavy coat on to ward of the cold. Her boots were sturdy but comfortable, perfect for long treks in the wilderness. She brought with her sword, a small skinning knife, and a cloth bag to hold whatever game they might catch. ”Already looking, Cassius?” she said with a grin when she arrived, seeing him cupping the snow to his nose.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

CASSIUS
Strong Hands, Strong Mind, Strong Heart
Snow cupped in his hands, slowly began to melt when his attention drifted as Roana arrived and called his attention to which he did a double take to his hands, laughing as he pushed himself up.

"Something like that."

He replied hands resting over his waist as he nodded a greeting to the formidable looking woman, though the padding of her attire to provide warmth allowed her to give off a look that had a touch of softness to it.

"Each creature has a distinct scent. Scarce as they are now, you tend to hold their scent closer. Not that they're all that appetizing but, food is food right?"

In truth, Cassius was a vegetarian, but Roana having children meant provisions would need to be plenty. Not that he made his intentions to hunt and procure meat being for her and her family. She seemed independent enough, definitely not someone who would call for help, much less from a man.

He imagined others would often feel intimidated by her appearance alone, leaving friends to come seldom.

Cassius grinned before he motioned his head for Roana to walk along with him.

"Come on..."

As they stepped into the thick of the woodlands, Cassius would look around in search for tracks or other creatures of meager offerings.

"Did much hunting back home?"

Roana couldn’t help her smirk as Cassius said that ’food was food’. Maybe to adults like them, but she had long since learned that such a belief did not apply to all. ”Try saying that to a five year old who is appalled you might make them eat a vegetable.” she said with a snicker. Rhett would most definitely have some very strong feelings and words to say about that. Cormac would just glare at his plate and try to make it look like he ate it. Jax would actually probably eat it…but he wouldn’t be happy about it because his brothers wouldn’t be happy.

She followed his lead, eyes scanning the area around them for any signs of possible game, ears peeled on the off chance she might hear something. ”Me? No.” she said, shaking her head when he asked if she had hunted much. ”Set a trap here and there when I absolutely needed to, but hunting was a man’s thing in my father’s house, and traditionalist he was, I was not going to convince him to teach me to fight and hunt.” she explained. It had been a matter of choosing what had been more important to her, and that had been combat skills.
