They can celebrate with roasted nuts and fruit! (Tetsuma should probably try to find more variety this afternoon. Definitely look into mushrooms. Or figure out where Reim went to and ask him about hunting.)

"—oi Reim can you hear us?" he calls out loud.

After about a minute, Reim appears.

It's not entirely clear where from.

"Yes?"

"Testuma wanted to ask you a couple of things."

"How likely are other animals to be intelligent? Can we hunt? Also, do you know if the mushrooms will be similar enough to my homeworld's that I can identify ones that're safe to eat? Are any of the plants here poisonous? How dangerous is the area, do we need to worry about getting attacked at night."

Reim sighs. "In order: some animals here are intelligent, but not all. Avoid eating squirrels and rabbits. You can hunt hooved animals, if you find any - this island lacks intelligent ungulates. I have no idea about mushrooms in your world, but I can identify ones edible to me. Some of the plants are poisonous, yes, but it's generally decently obvious as they're extremely bitter. I have informed the others of my kind that you are under my protection, so this area is about as dangerous as any random forest, though there are some large predators and territorial animals." He pauses, then, "Well, a random forest in this realm. New people arrive along the ley-lines fairly frequently, though they generally move on in the morning, and traveling spirits might be disinclined to listen to me."

"There we go," he tells Tetsuma, grinning. "We can hunt."

"Then large ungulate for dinner it is," says Tetsuma. To Reim: "Thank you." Then, turning back to Dayo, "Do you have any experience hunting?"

"I have experience doing what royal family calls hunting, so some?"

"Hm. Do you have weapons you're familiar with for hunting - Also, we should consider whether to hunt together or not. Hunting together would require securing the food here, but would be safer if anything's dangerous, and I could help you work on stealth. One of us hunting alone would allow the other to keep working, you on meditating or me on the wood clone, especially since hunting might take a while. Considerations are that I'll handle any fighting better, but I suspect you might have more experience - my experience is limited to trapping small game, which Reim told us to avoid. I wouldn't know how to find anything, other than running everywhere and getting lucky. I also only have and know how to use knives, a sword, and jutsu, none of which are ideal for hunting."

"I'm pretty good with a bow, and I have one with me, but it's not one of the best."

"Well, would you rather hunt or stay here and practice?"

"I'd rather stay and practice but I think it's best if I hunt."

"And I'll work on the wood clone? Or if we go together, you can show me how to hunt properly so I'm not just running back and forth looking for deer to throw knives at, and I'll handle hunting in the future while you practice."

"Yeah, we can go together, sounds like a good idea."

So hunting it is. Once they've finished lunch, Tetsuma ducks back into her shelter to change into her traveling gear and load up on knives (shuriken have poor range and will probably be utterly useless for hunting, so she doesn't bring many). She sets about securing their food, which admittedly isn't much - she decides it'll be easier to just bring the nuts and roots and her travel rations, and she's been picking the fruit only as they need it. 

She then checks for Reim (wandered off), and turns to Dayo to ask if he has any advice on when to set out, and if he needs or wants anything before they do.

He thinks any advice would be very moot, here, what with the whole "alternate universe fucked up place" thing—he's not sure whether noon is a coherent concept. He doesn't want/need anything more, they can go.

They'll come upon hooved... things, after a while, more swiftly if they're specifically trying to track deer. 

There's a small herd of four where the woods meet a wide meadow at the edge of the island, stripping leaves from the low, fast-growing trees at the treeline. Its front legs are significantly longer than its back, and it has a head vaguely reminiscent of a horse. The back feet split off into three hooves, while the front limbs end in long claws. They're slightly larger than a tall horse. 

"...I was not expecting that," he whispers.

"...Yeah, same, I suppose I should stop thinking this world will be normal," she whispers back. "They don't look too dangerous?"

"No but I'm not sure my arrows will do much against something this big and... strong-looking?"

"...Yeah and I can't really do wooden spikes well yet. Or quickly. Otherwise 'overkill' might do it. Keep looking?"

"I think so."

Tetsuma agrees.

And if they keep looking for deer, they'll come in short order on something that actually mostly resembles a deer!

With two-inch-long fangs.

"Holy cow," he whispers.
