Running in the Bear Empire 35: Hunting
First: Running in the Bear EmpirePrevious: What's Your Name?

“Are you sure you know how to hunt things that aren’t people?”
Deline was teasing Carrone - mostly. They had been living in the cabin for four days, and she was beginning to get more on edge than she wanted to admit.
It was easy enough to settle in to a routine - gather and hunt in the morning, cook a big meal in the afternoon and settle in to bed in the evening. It was easy enough to pretend that they were just having a little rest stop along the way, getting to know each other. But Deline knew that they were hiding, and she knew that she had to get back to the capital, and she knew that with every day she didn’t - with every day she didn’t make it back, there was a chance that they wouldn’t make it back, and if they didn’t, her information died with her. And that wasn’t acceptable.
So she was teasing Carrone for losing another deer.
