Blacktail Deer Plateau ◊;

as soon as it was clear this boulder of a man knew nothing of those sea monsters, elk charm fell upon the kill. the body was not so different than those goats and chamois; she slit the belly and tugged its skin over one shoulder.
this man, now that she understood him only to be a strange man, was half forgotten by the sharadoii girl; she was expert in her movements, laying the unfleshed pelt skin-side up and tumbling chunks of meat down into the pink tissue.
only when the ribcage was flensed did she begin to eat, filling her mouth to bursting with organ meat, bits of fat, sweet bitter sinew. elk charm was unsure that anything had ever tasted so good before.
"thank you."
