Rising Sun Valley Fresh Meat… and it’s me

This is probably a horrible idea, since Malila here is terrible at hunting!<3

Despite the lack of everything that had transpired, Malila was still hanging around. She did not want to just give up and leave the Teekon, this time. Her thoughts often went to Tauris, the gruff but charitable woman who had given her a handout a while back. It would be nice if she could track her down again. But...where to start? Maybe with luck she hadn't gone far.

She was hungry. But made do by getting by on small game. Mice, voles and even the occasional rabbit, if she caught one by surprise. Today, she was finishing off the last of a few ripened berries. Plucking each off it's stem, letting their tartness explode in her mouth before swallowing.

To wash down her snack and the flavor, she sought out a nearby stream. Quite a ways down from the buck, she bent to quench her thirst. Only when she pulled her head up, did she see his reflection in the water. She was on the opposite bank, and he well out of reach. She shifted nervously. She had no chance against an animal his size alone. Especially with her slight frame.
