Oh, good. Thank you so much.

No problem.

I'll be back tomorrow to do more of the same, but I should get going for now if there's nothing else.

Will you be sleeping here tonight?

...sure.

I don't mind at all, you can do whatever you'd like.

Mmhmm. I don't have plans, though, here's fine.

Okay.

I was planning on dinner with the other host, though, I'll let you know when I get back.

Okay!

I'm glad you're doing all right, she says mildly, and disappears.

She stops by the jungle for a hunting trip, and discovers that it has elephants. She brings one back to the Ñolofinwëan camp for dinner.

This is tremendously exciting.

It's not quite 'everybody gets a steak', but yeah. She leaves the cooks to it and goes to see what Findekáno is up to.

Building musical instruments, actually. Hi! How was your afternoon?

Not bad. Worked on spells for Maitimo, mostly. You?

Camp organization. It's coming along. How's Maitimo?

Busy, mostly, but they're holding up okay. And I think something's up, they asked me to spend the night there tonight.

And that suggests something's up?

Yeah, they don't usually ask for things and they're still pretending really hard that they don't need anything.

Okay.

Anyway, dinner first. Did they tell you I went hunting? Turns out the jungle does have some big animals, I was starting to wonder. She sends him an image of the elephant.

Oooh, I haven't seen one of those in a long time. Nicely done.

Hunting with magic is cheating, she chuckles.

We are trying to feed a people, not have a sport hunting contest!

Yeah, I just mean that hunting big things isn't harder than hunting small ones, this way. Easier, a little bit, actually, they're less likely to run away if they notice me.

Well, I do expect we'll drive a lot of species extinct at this rate but it is nice.
