She knocks the wounded huntress out and loots her short sword along with all the arrows from the three. Examining the bow, she takes that too, keeping it with the one I stole from the palace basement. I stay silent, not up for talking right now, and wonder where we're to go next.
"Well then, we should be set in terms of weapons. I got enough arrows that could last a very, very long time," she says.
I still don't speak, not wanting to take part in that conversation, and watch as she drags the huntresses one by one into the cave.
Ruthless warrior, kindhearted person.
I shake thoughts like that off and look away from her, focusing on what happens next. She comes back out moments later and crouches before the tracks, examining them. Watching, I take note in how the system works and try to piece together what she concludes from looking at them.
"Seems like the hunter encampment is further down the mountain, probably at the base where we'll spot them and maybe say hello while we're at it," she says.
I inwardly groan and sigh out loud instead.
"What is it with you and the hunters?" I ask, slightly annoyed by this obsession of hers, "It's one thing to wound some strays out of self defense, but now you're going to attack them at their camp?"
She stands and returns my irritated look before glancing away at the distance, as if the very sight of me made her blood boil. My own temper flares at this, but quickly extinguishes as she begins walking away. Her shoulders slump slightly as she does, conveying...a lower emotion than anger. I catch up with her without a word, paying attention to her body language instead.
"You wouldn't like it if you got ignored by your mom now would you?" she asks.
Oh...so that's what this is about.
We say nothing the rest of the way down, the both of us wrapped in our own thoughts. My mind can't stop dwelling on my own mother, who surely thinks I'm a lost cause by now or that I'm dead. I glance at Ana for a moment, thinking.
I guess we're the same...nearly. Your mother ignores you, mine thinks I'm gone forever. Her Hunters are out to kill you, my father would sooner see me dead than accept me back in the Underworld without consequence. We're floating...alone, but we're exactly the same.
