Lone Star Mountain abalone

for @Makono, skaigona, muskrat, and @Ezra! no posting order <3 this is set after skaigona and ezra hunt and after @Hex finds @Nutuyikruk on lone star mountain lol

at last they found the woman and her child. she did not look so odd, moving with deliberate swiftness. both of them carried birds.  a successful hunt from the looks of it, meat for the ridge if their meeting soured.

she cast a glance toward the royal eagle, lifting her chin as she stepped from the shadows to confront the thin pale woman with the blaze of red along her back.
