As much as she could trust them to be responsible and not put themselves in unnecessary danger, it was her duty among many to still keep an eye just in case the girls would need a hand on what they were doing.

Training.

Lectures.

Cooking

Cleaning.

And hunting among many other things..., which had led her to this clearing of the forest surrounding their little home just after leaving Beta behind on the town with her training with the bow.

It seemed that above all that tool had become her friends favorite..

The sharp, throng sound of the string been pull back and then let go echoing time and time again even from the distance as her ears perked up and every time the ringing sound of the shaft punched through the target.

However, they would need to soon change from stationary targets to moving ones in the following days and she didn't know how she would manage when taking into account the girls squeamish nature towards blood.

Anyway, that was a problem for another date as she focused her attention on the Third member of their little group who was a top of a wooden set of stairs picking...berries?.

''Good morning Gamma..''

''L-lady Alpha..!? Did something happen-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek, ouch, blegh''

The startled sound of the brunettes voice followed by the sudden stumbled face first down the ground from the small mobile wooden stair she had drag from the town happened just as predicted.

With a sigh Alpha merely shook her head inwardly, pushing the clumsiness of her friend aside as Gamma slowly, yet surely started to raise her face from the ground, offering an apologetic smile at her way as she did.

''I....I am fine''

''You are bleeding..''

The blond elf gestured with a tired tone at the small trail of arterial red sliding down the girls nose.

''I... sorry tehe...?''

Pinching the bridge of her nose one second, Alpha immediately helped her up, taking a step back a moment later as to allow Gamma to dust away the dirt from her clothes and wipe away the blood from her nose.

As she did she took notice of some of the packages that stood just behind Gamma. All neatly sealed with the exception of the one, its lids open up and revealing a colorful set of fruits inside.

''I see that you have brought a lot of boxes with you this time, but what are you working on..?''

''I thought I would help on the recollection of berries and fruits.., and since I finished on my end I thought that it would bad if I just sit still and did nothing..''

''That is kind of you..''

She muttered out loud, a hint of praise in her voice. Still, she could have used the time to practice her sword skills....or just manage to fix some of the unholy balance deficits she suffered from.

On that account she was sure a little more practice could not do her harm.

''Well, I just wanted to not make Beta pick up the slack from me when I accidentally set fire to the bath towels, especially after what happened last time she went out hunting with you my lady..''
