Overture Downs We operate under

Perhaps had things been slightly different, she would have been fine with it too, but right now what Arbiter wanted was certainty in a world that was far less so.  Numbers of trained adults versus prey.  If the scarcity gets worse, then we need to make sure our hunts succeed, not just have them be practice. Would you trust children to jump into a moose hunt if most of what they've caught has been foxes or rabbits?  Or trust them to not have their heads kicked in.  Either way, it was far more likely something would go wrong and they'd all go hungry if the deer numbers ran low.  Winter was always harder, and right now in the fall, it wasn't exactly great a great omen.  She prioritized survival.  At least at the time of this thread, stuff was still around.... Just not as much as before.  She needed to make sure that her children could be a success, but the world itself had certainly thrown a wrench at them all.
