Leave at it

She failed to be a proper huntress 5 times now, she wouldn´t be able to handle the shame, she dismisses Sanders amicably. Back at home, she encounters her dad sleeping on his chair, poor man probably overworked himself, he isn´t the same man since her mother died, now he works his ass off to forget about his beloved wife. Lina, not wanting to perturb her father on his deep slumber, just gently take him on her shoulders and carry him to his [bed.

In](http://bed.In) the way her father wakes in the way and says "Lara?" That´s her mother´s name "No dad, it's me, Lina, your daughter. Get back to sleep, you need not rest" He smiles lightly "Oh dear, I'm sorry, your old man sight is getting worse, I just feel alone without her." He finally sleeps on his bed, being the only smith of the whole village must be tough, he carries the world on his shoulders, she thinks to herself.

She finally put her bow on the side of her own bed and also sleeps, no one knows what awaits her on the next day, she maybe be even lucky and finally get the deer, maybe she´s just isn´t fit for this job, but being a huntress is her dream since her mother was alive, she even promised to be the greatest huntress the world ever has known. Lina falls asleep while thinking about what to do in the next day, and about what to do about Sanders. How futile, she thinks.

She wakes up early, determined to accomplish the feat today, she takes her arrows, her quiver and her bow with her and leaves the house, there are a few people who are also starting their day, most people at the Bloch Village wake up a little bit later in the morning unless they have good reason to or their job demands it, like the baker or the person on hunting duty that day. There is an empty table next to her house, it's the dining table of the village where everyone gathers every night to eat, she didn´t come yesterday since she was so tired, but today she wouldn´t do this again, she needs to eat properly to be a good Huntress and her stomach growls audibly accordingly. She needs to eat before the village becomes too crowded, she wants to leave before everyone notices her. Of course, it wouldn´t be easy, the rules dictating food states, quite explicitly so, that everyone can only eat at certain hours of the day, excluding some specific cases, like the on-duty hunters, and she isn´t a huntress neither is on duty, so this poses a problem. She might be able to barter with the baker, Clovis, but the old man is notoriously grumpy (and, if some stories are to be believed, quite perverted), she wanted to avoid dealing with him. The alternative, she thought, was to simply go on with her hunt and eat some mushrooms and fruits on the way while she tracked the Deer, but even if she managed to find enough food, it wouldn´t be as fulfilling as the good old bread, butter, and milk to start the day. She needs to decide.
