HUNTING | APRIL 18TH | CLOSED TO ILLYA
[ It's still good and dark outside when Líadan sinks into a seat in front of the television on Floor Two to pull her boots on. Oddly enough, it's the last thing she's set to equip besides the large backpack she procured specifically for the purpose of transporting the fruits of their labor to the floor. Her robes and cloak, with their browns and greens, are colored well enough to provide ample camouflage and the bow and quiver full of arrows at her back and the dagger sheathed at her side have never been more ready to serve. Sheathed at her side are some new additions, namely a small assortment of hand-picked knives to make specific processing tasks a little easier and less time consuming and help her to provide Illya with a more rounded experience in his learning.
A hunter does more than hunt, after all. They respectfully process the animals they take and use everything the animal has to give from its meat to its fur to the sinews and even the bones. That's how her people do it and that's how she intends to teach Illya. A body that knows how to hunt and properly use what they take out of respect for the life they take is a body one step closer to being able to effectively live on their own in the wilds. Should he ever have the want or need, she'd see him ready.
Pushing herself up from her seat, she'll loop the backpack around her shoulder and move to fill her flask with water from the kitchen soundlessly despite the spring in her step. Once he's up and ready, they'll go. It'll take them a little time to reach the area she's chosen for today's lesson and that's fine. There's some talking to be had about their task before what she hopes will be a successful morning and she's got high hopes for them. Once she's filled her flask, she quietly heads back to the entertainment area to wait for her student and partner in today's hunt. ]
CAMPING | APRIL 23RD | CLOSED TO GLADIO, EICHI, AND SANS
[ It's with a little flourish that Líadan gently deposits three of the bags of supplies the party had brought along with them by the other bags more closely situated to the near completely set up tent. The site they've claimed for their camping venture is nothing short of a beautiful one. The natural overgrowth of the forest hasn't seemed quite able to reclaim the clearing for how fond a spot it is for campers and it isn't at all difficult to see why it is just that. There's a not quite perfect circle of sky visible overhead that's hugged by the surrounding forest and a small waterfall cascading into what appears to be a fairly deep, clear spring a comfortable walk from the site. A circular pile of ash speaks to a bonfire in recent days, perhaps a week, and it makes the place that much more picturesque, almost familiar despite the newness of the site itself. The gentleness of the breeze helps, the boughs around them swaying just so, as though they were waving, welcoming them.
It's peaceful for all that she knows it could be quite dangerous, her ears catching the tell-tale sounds of a few snapping branches in the distance. It's dry, dead wood, not a predator, but it sees her perk and wrinkle her nose with a smile all the same for hints of staccato in the music.
Drawing her eyes from the distant forest, she'll be moving to rejoin her companions in mind and body, a spring in her step for her excitement. It really seems like it's been too long since she got to sleep under the stars in good company. It looks like they're putting the finishing touches on the tent now, too. ]
It looks like things are really coming together over here! Do you think we should take some precautions for the breeze or have you already?

You're enough steps ahead of a genuine novice for me to be impressed, then. I am not too familiar with guns myself, but I don't expect that to impede us. It would be good for me to see one personally in capable hands methinks.
[ And a bit more than that. ]
You'll have your first lesson before we leave the gate.
[ On the way, that is. There are a couple of things she needs to impress upon him about hunting pertaining to nature and the respect thereof, after all, but she'll get there. ]

Feel free to send me home, if I ever slow you down or scare away the game.
