One charred goat staggers up over the ridge toward her.

Hailey pants, face down atop the awful-smelling bear, and manages to lift up one hand for a thumbs up.

She readies her staff and stares down the charred goat. "I know what you're thinking," she says. "Don't try it. Don't. Don't do it." 

It bleats and charges shakily at her, aiming for a headbutt.

She swings her staff like a baseball bat as it comes in, aiming to hit it right in the head and knock it off course.

With how burned it is, she manages to knock it out. It falls over, unconscious.

Okay hooooooolyshit. 

She stays close to Hailey, staff still out, eyes watching for anything else to come.

"We need to move," she says. "Can you walk?"

She staggers upright, scowling at the pain in her wings. "I can walk. Just need to stow my wings, which is going to suck so much. Hell, I can butcher our kills for proof and loot. I'm just going to really hate the next five seconds."

Hyacinth pauses for a moment, briefly distracted by Hailey's comments. 

"You're one tough cookie, huh? Alright, I'll watch your back."

She nods, smiles briefly and thinly at Sin.

And then deactivates demon form, stowing her wings.

Fuck.

She stumbles forward a step, gasping at the pain as her shredded wings are tucked away into storage. After a long moment, they subside to a dull ache.

She catches her breath for a moment, then kneels down in front of the bear. She cuts off one paw, counting on the eerie black claws to prove its corruption, then starts butchering it.

She can separate out a bunch of meat, along with some black ooze.

She pulls it all into inventory., where it identifies itself as Bleak Essence and Bear Meat.

"Huh, you've really got some skills there." 

Hyacinth takes some bear meat as well. She's got the inventory space for it.

"Thank you. We... have done a lot of very odd training sims."

And she moves to do the same to the goats, keeping the horns from each goat for proof.

"I can tell. It's weirdly cute."

She stands lookout while Hailey harvests the horns.

Nothing else approaches them. Hailey gets a great deal of goat meat and bleak essence.

She flushes and smiles a bit at it being called weirdly cute, and keeps going.

Eventually...

"Done."

"Let's head back, then. I'll heal you once I have mana for it but that could take a bit."

She nods, stands, and starts walking back toward town. "Good plan."

Hyacinth follows, gaze alert for any further trouble.

Nothing approaches.
