Nuuu, short posts are fine. My delays are fail, tho. :[
Lucia was pleased to hear Shawchert agree so quickly to her suggestion. To be honest, she hadn't really expected him to deny her, but she was surprised at how quick he had agreed. He must not have been all that busy before their little encounter. Or maybe she was just that persuasive. Yes, that must be it. She grinned up at him, happy to have enlisted his help in this little endeavor.
She nodded at his suggestion of prey. "Of course." She had seen plenty of deer around the area in recent weeks, so it shouldn't be too hard for them to track down a small herd within the forest. And if they could snag a deer, it would provide a much bigger meal than Lucia could have ever hoped to secure on her own. Shawchert certainly had arrived at the perfect time. "When we spot some, I can go on ahead and try to split on off from the herd and chase it over to you," she suggested. It seemed like a logical use of their strengths; Lucia was quick enough to provide a decent chase for their prey, and Shaw's size and strength would be ideal for catching it by surprise and taking it down.
