Madness (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[Mr.Aznable]

She was in awe, there was so much to learn about all of this.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"How do you feel so far? Do you wish to make a snare?" He asked.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded and moved to set up her own snare:

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He watched her, not wanting to interfere with her learning.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She finally got the snare set up and stood back, smiling. “Like this?”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He smiled fondly and nodded, "Yes. The knot is a little tight, but that's ok. It'll still work. Great job, love."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Her face lit up. “Thank you..!”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Of course. Come, let's find some big game. I'll show you how to use a bow." He told her.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiled and nodded, following him eagerly.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

They walked around a bit longer before he stopped and ducked down into the brush, gesturing for her to do the same, "There. Do you see it? A large buck fifty yards ahead of us." He whispered.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She gasped, dropping down next to him in the brush. “Yes, I see it..” she whispered.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

The buck seemed so far, grazing peacefully as they watched him. Maleris drew his bow and notched an arrow, aiming and steadily pulling the string back. He held his breath and waited before firing, killing the buck instantly.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

What a sure shot. So calm, so collected, so confident. And it paid off.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I don't expect you to be so merciful your first time," he said, and it wasn't meant to be mean, "It took me years to learn where to strike. I will teach you, as well."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded. “I would appreciate that.. I don’t wish them to suffer..” she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He shook his head, "Never. Come." He stood and walked with her to where the buck fell, kneeling down and carefully removing the arrow from its chest. He took his knife and began to show her how to skin it, explaining to her how they use everything the animal had to offer so nothing was wasted.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She put on a brave face for it, but in truth, it made her stomach turn.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Are you alright? You look ill." He frowned.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“I’m not used to this is all..” she said, grinning a bit.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He gave a small nod, "I understand..."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“I do thank you for showing me this.. how is your male pride, satisfied~?” She teased.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He chuckled, "Almost," he replied as he cut and packed away the meat, "We have much more to do."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“Like what?” She asked, helping him pack everything up.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"This one buck won't nearly be enough." He replied as he stood, "We need more."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“Oh..! Of course..” she said, laughing at herself a bit.
