Murdock looked a moment longer at his younger brother, recognizing the bitterness there almost at once. "You and me both," he said to the other male, not quite sure what had happened to him but neither doubting that Shale's pain was as valid as his own. But Murdock didn't want to touch on his own journey through hell anymore than Shale seemed to; it seemed the brothers were on the same page, when it came to that.

 "C'mon. Let's tear this bitch up."

With that, Murdock fell upon the deer; they'd eat what they could and drag what was left to Easthollow; perhaps he'd regugitate some for the kids later on that day.
