Description: It doesn't always work out the way you want it to.
They had spent a significant amount of time tracking their target, and even MORE time utterly failing to kill it. The thing was fast, elusive and stronger than the usual things they faced, forcing them constantly on the defensive. They managed to get a few good shots in, but it had not been nearly enough.
Now they had a good two hours left of daylight, and both of them were sweaty, tired and quite positively very irritated. Roy was, at least, and that was rare. The Meister scanned the horizon one last time before turning away with a huff.
It had been a long, long time since a target of his had given him the slip. That didn't sit well with him at all.
