FAILURE. also last post for me D:

The man speaks, and while the answer is disappointing, laced as it is with impossibility, Hatshepsut nods, and rises. She does not insist that he remains, nor does she think he will, but the woman moves carefully off across the flat land. Her first two attempts at a hare are hampered by the twingeing of pain along her ankle, and it is some hours before she glances back along her shoulder toward the place where she had left the man.

But her grasp is empty, and so she does not return. He has demanded a clear contribution, and Hatshepsut has nothing; her belly cramps with hunger and her shame is vengeful upon her now, and so she does not go back. 

However, she will attempt again; this she vows as a thin cough racks her body.
