SO SORRY AGAIN. I must really suck or something, eh? 395
The crimson eyes did not break their stare as Eclipse explained her feelings. Anxious? Nayru was anything but anxious. Nerves rarely hit her, the calm and stoic woman accustomed to still any turbulent feelings. On most any day she could force herself still, and rarely did she even had to force it. Even as Conor left and Nayru moved the pack she did not let anxiety gain any kind of hold upon her, and so she felt it only proper to dispel the jittery feelings from Eclipse as quickly as possible. That she should be the one to be sitting with Eclipse, planning how to ease the girl's discomfort, did not spark Nayru as strange. Although she had not recently had much time to spend with the girl, she had loved the child since the day of her birth. Nayru had watched as Bris brought the girl into the world, and watched as both Bris and Conor had walked away. Nayru couldn't always be the one to fill in the gaps the two might have left, but she had tried where she could. Without prompting the girl suggested what was on the tip of Nayru's tongue. Hunting. It was a fine way to unleash pent up energy—Nayru understood this more than anything. Not only energy, but it could be cathartic for the mind and spirit as well as the body. Yet the girl, so thoughtful and kind, had qualms about partaking in the sport for the sake of the sport it's self. Nayru understood this. There had been a time when she could not kill for herself, and yet, if one was willing, they could overcome any mental barrier. “If you aren't hungry we needn't let the meat go to waste. We could smoke it or even bring it to someone else.” Nayru guessed at the reasoning behind Eclipse's reservations, and with a sweep of her hand stood up. Already decided on their activity she looked to the chocolate colored girl, waiting for her to rise up. “Where should we hunt? You lead the way.” Together they could bring down a large animal, given the skill Nayru was already adapted with and the promise and potential that the Jiryu saw in Eclipse. And yet, they would need to, for Nayru would be content simply to see Eclipse content with whatever kill came their way.
