Hushed Willows Hunger turns even the kindest of hearts

The task was done. As hard as it was, it was done. 

Stark would feel poorly in the weeks to come over what they had done but he could not deny the prospect of food and how much he had needed it. The trips taxed him, draining him entirely and making him even more weary. The emotional and physical toil that would be taken would leave him feeling more needy, more overwhelmed. When Trick took the pieces from Kunik off Stark took the moment to pull the woman back away from where he had found her - further along the borders, tucking her against a willow. 

He finally took from Kunik for himself and later he would be horrified - later he would be remorseful. For now, he was fed.
