Big Salmon Lake But one thing will never change

It hadn't even occurred to Maia to ask but the offer was hugely generous. Oh, are you sure? I would love that! But I'd hate to take food that you might need. She would be a thousand times more eager if she thought she'd help much but today wasn't really turning out her way. We could try, though, and see? And if there isn't enough you could take it?

She wasn't sure what to respond with on the pack breaking apart, so she kept her enthusiasm about the hunt and didn't mention it. She didn't seem to want sympathy but maybe she wanted company? And if that was the case Maia was more than happy to deliver!

Roaming's nice. I'm... more of a storyteller than a hunter. But seeing new places is one of my favorite things! New stories could be found everywhere - new audiences too. She wondered if Amalia had any interest, though if she tried getting (or giving) a story while hunting she'd definitely scare any game within earshot.
