Altar of Twilight Eyes that fire and sword have seen

okay, question-and-answer teaching style was probably out. that was fine. aditya nodded, confirming, at least, the 'maybe.' i think it's worth a shot, he murmured. he glanced at the young man. can you slip away toward the opposite side of the herd and chase her away? maybe spook the lot of them into running? if you can drive her toward me, i can try to cut her down.

he gave a gentle shrug. i could go, too. i just thought you're probably faster than i am, and i'm bigger, better suited to have a deer coming straight for me. adi's eyes landed on the boy once more, inquisitive. up to you.

any indecision and he'd go for the deer himself, trying to cut it away. there was no place for indecision in a hunt, but perhaps the boy didn't know that quite yet. that was fine, but he was hungry, and there was no time to waste. briefly, with a pang, he wished dawn or other morningsiders were here. it would be much easier with them.
