[ Briskly, ]

I am leading a hunting party. One companion is ideal; I will take no more than three. Bring your own weapons and dress for the cold. We depart at sunrise, from the lodge at the foot of the mountains, and there will be trips every other day beginning tomorrow.

​[ Beat. ]

If you wish to come and learn, you are welcome, but if you cannot keep up, you will be left behind.

[reconstitution]

I can be misleading like that.

[ His expression softens at the edges. ]

[sinuosity]

[ She smiles again, and they fall silent, on the route. None of their feet make noise, and they choose one of the larger beasts to bring down. There's time enough for a short rest, and Nyssa tells him they don't see so well at night. ]

[ As they're making camp, ]

We will split the spoils equally, unless you have a different proposal.

[reconstitution]

[ It's a pleasant enough trek. Hell, it's almost relaxing. There's a pent-up anticipation, but mainly it's waiting for the beast. ]

No, that's a fair agreement. What do you expect we'll get from it?

[sinuosity]

Meat, and if we keep the head we can trade it for other goods. I have no objection to you keeping it, as I will doubtless be here again soon.

[reconstitution]

..If it's successful, I'd accompany you again.

[ A pause, then very quickly added. ]..If you permitted it.

[sinuosity]

When it is successful.

[ They are both excellent hunters, adaptable. She sees no way this will be otherwise. ]

I would welcome it.

[reconstitution]

[ Failure isn't an option for either of them- particularly with the task ahead of them. It's manageable. ]

..That's good to hear.
