Blacktail Deer Plateau no turning back

Following his skepticism came a more in-depth explanation: the male sought shelter and a home, willing to take either that may be offered. Although he still wondered about the other, Aningan did accept his words without any further questioning; it seemed a likely reason, after all.

He introduced himself as Onyx, to which the bear responded by saying, “I’m Aningan.” He listened closely, then, as his tale was told—a faraway home, gone to distance, and luck landing him there. “Can you hunt?” he asked next, considering his course of action. Although initially suspicious of the stranger, he wouldn’t feel right turning away someone that could be beneficial to have around; by gathering more and more hunters, perhaps they would better thrive, even without the plateau’s namesake.
