Ouroboros Spine Dutiful Hunter

Her part had been played well. Now it was his turn.

The beast was brought down quickly, and with ease. Its injury had aided with that.

She soon joined him at the flank of what was now a blood drawn carcass. But what came next, she not expected. Instead of congratulate their triumph, Rodyn turned with a look of irritation and proceeded to scorn her.

Nasamik was both visibly confused and hurt by his words. Gaze hardening, she spoke with a firm distaste. In my first village, we did not have firshunter, nor secondhunter. We were equals in the hunt, regardless of our rank. We work as one. What I said was meant to help us both as a team, not to be a show of authority in my place. Where before she thought highly of the man, her view of him had changed oh so quickly. Her stance shifted, now appearing as one of defense against his coldness. It matters not how long you have been a hunter. There are always ways to improve and areas another can be of help. That is why hunters do not often hunt alone.

Perhaps before you are so quick to scorn another, you should think with some consideration. Saying that she was still new may have appeared too much of an excuse, but it was a truth that anyone could tell. Their ways of life were different, but this man clearly cared only for his own.
