Deepwood Weald I'd hide, but

Rodyn would not have accepted her decline. The simple fact was he was hunter yes, had been star Hunter, had been hunter and trader during bride price. Therefore he had learned to always share. For what else could he give, but help to fill empty stomachs.

He made sure to face her when he was speaking. It made moving through the forest difficult, but he would not go without at least trying to converse.

Weasels, Stoats, Squirrel. I was hoping perhaps a late fawn, but we will probably not see one.

His ear twitched and he tilted his head. No one had offered to let him talk about it. They had offered to sit with him, to share condolences and yes to talk about it, but her sentiment was different. She didn't know him from adam and yet she was willing to listen.

It was horrific. I begged and pleaded, but the gods would not give her back. And our children were crying. And now her family does not allow us to speak her name. Moonwoman told me I could, but it feels as if i would be spitting in the very face I adored if i did so and sometimes Lady Towhee. I just want to scream her name to the heavens.
