Stone Circle Acquainted

When she mentioned improving their hunting skills together, Dianne said, I'd love to. She exaggerated her enthusiasm there with a faint smile to boot just for good measure.

Oh god, Valette really expected her to toss herself into the fray with one of those things? Did this lady not see how small she was? Hell no. It took several hours to kill one? Well, that wasn't too surprising, given that she honestly thought they became basically immortal once fully-grown. But hell if she'd spend more than five minutes in the vicinity of even one bison. Stamina and strength were traits Dianne simply wasn't gifted with. While glad Valette offered to mentor her, she was still learning how to tackle small creatures, let alone beings so large and imposing she thought them immortal until just moments ago.

Maybe if we start a little smaller first, Dianne replied with the ghost of a grin and a sideways glance. It was almost like a deal: teach her how to hunt something smaller, and maybe she'll give bison a try. Maybe.
