Neverwinter Forest blood to be paid

Hotaru was late to the call, though not because she detested it like her brother. No, she had been further away and the cut through her pad and arm only slowed her more with the stinging pain that came in each step. She had been lucky that Caerus was there to stop the bleeding, but even with his herbs it was impossible to remove the discomfort completely. Not until it had fully scabbed over and healed.

By the time the pale girl arrived she found that her brother had already beaten her to Vallkyrie's call who seemed to be starting with whatever reason it was that she brought them forward. Her gaze met Hotaru's own, though she would duck her head down only half avoiding the woman's gaze. She could feel the embarrassment rise to her cheeks at her lateness, but she would stay quiet as Vallkyrie explained further. She wanted them to hunt.

Part of Hotaru wanted to sigh, she wanted to know more about the forest or see if anyone here knew about the stars as her mom had, but in the end, those skills probably weren't too valuable...food would be important, there was no denying that, though Hotaru knew she wasn't a very skilled hunter. There hadn't been as much of an emphasis on it back in the vale, but then again food was often presented to them likely due to their blood.
