Hemin
If you forget to breathe...
Hemin let Amun examine the arrowhead, only to hear him question his methodology. Unhelpful. But of course, Amun hadn't heard the full of his story.
"You see, that's the thing. I was tracking a stray ROUS to find their pack, but when I made it to the den, all I found were bodies. A whole ROUS pack, killed and left to rot. It was the strangest thing. Whoever slaughtered them left no trace but lethal blows and one broken arrow. As I followed their trail, which wasn't difficult, I kept finding bodies that littered the ground. Landsharks, vampire gourds, squirrels. Dead. All clean kills. Then, nothing. The trail led me back to the Settlement though, and that's when I decided to ask around."
Hemin leaned down to watch the intricate metal shifting slow down as Amun's attention shifted to the arrowhead. If Hemin hadn't been so distracted, the ripple in the ground signifying the arrival of the landshark would definitely have caught his attention. Instead, Hemin turned with awe at the display of affectionate knuckle-biting between the shark and Amun.
"It's a pup! You don't see much of those until they're at least shed adolescence. Did you get him from an egg or something? Ohhhh, a pup would be great to add to my collection! Just keep holding him like that..." Hemin said as he reached behind his back to pull out a dagger and stepped closer to Amun.

I may not be there to remind you.
