Big Salmon Lake First things first, I'ma say all the words inside my head.

Thin and fast-running? From the description alone they did not sound like a prey of much value. But then again - Speedy was young and one (who was not so much older) could forgive her wasting energy on a worthless, hard to get animal for sport. She did not say this aloud and her expression remained politely interested, until her companion had finished explaining. 

"I can't say that I have seen them here either," though come to think of it, some of the waders and shorebirds did fit the description. She had not seen them run though. "So - these roadrunners - the habitat they lived, was it much different from this?"
