Wheeling Gull Isle Set aside your rules

There really wasn't much else to say without him repeating himself, at least when Hua was concerned. So it was probably a good thing that Aiolos moved the conversation on, even if it wasn't like it was going to draw Mal into the land of smiles or anything. It was more like a minor distraction. A tiny shift.

I still might end up staying towards the tree areas. There might not be all the herds wandering through, but I should be able to ensure there are enough small things -- hares and stuff -- at least for now. I don't know how long it'll take to get up to speed with fish. It hadn't been something common to hunt before, and I'm not keen on being a burden. Not that he really was being a burden, as Mal was almost sure he was about to be assured, but he didn't want to waste time. Nor did he need another frustrating thing to bury himself in -- it probably would make things worse. Mal was probably hard enough to be around right now, did they really need him to be angry too? Naaah.
