It wasn't like Hextor would let Nate go by unnoticed, for the one-eyed owl was not in the hunt, rather he was sitting in the trees, watching for the morning runners, and the scouts, and eventually the intruders. Hex called out to Valkyrie as Nate passed, and Valk looked to the trees and cocked her head, then looked around to see where Hextor was talking about. She didn't realize that Nate had already passed by and was now turning back around, and when he came back, he was behind her. When he called out over the ice she was startled and she turned around quickly to face her brother. She smiled at Nate and then looked at her spear and the ice. "Tryin' ta get some breakfast." spoke the woman to the boy. "I need ta' get through the ice first tho'." she spoke on and she nodded her head lightly to him. Wanna help? she asked him, already figuring that if he came back, or if he bothered to walk out on the ice that he would want to help, but she asked anyways, just to be sure that this was his intention.
Valk saw the kittens start to try to walk on the ice, and she gave the kittens a spitting sound with her mouth. She got her message across to them, and they got off the ice, and pretty much ran off to go play somewhere else. Muerte, on the other hand, was flying above the lake, trying to catch enough light to create shadows that the fish could not ignore. Valk looked back at her brother and then started to poke the ice again. I'm still trying ta find a good spot ta break uh hole in it. Need somewhere where someone has made one before. Ya' know? she was sure she wasn't the only ice fisher around in Inferni, at least she hoped not, because then she wouldn't be able to do this effectively.
She continued to poke at the surface until she found somewhere that seemed like it was softer than the rest. She felt around for a circle, and that was what she found. Nate, grab that weight over there for me please. she asked him, and pointed to a cement brick that she put on the ice where it was thicker and could handle it. She then started to untie her rope that was tied to her sleeves so that she would be able to retrieve the hunk of rock when she was done breaking the ice.
