"Are you going to take it?" A female voice was heard beside him.

"I can take it, but what about you?" Jon asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not good at archery!" She complained.

"You were the one who invited me to this hunt; you at least have to do something with this excuse to drag me out of the camp..." Jon spoke calmly, looking at the deer in front of them.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." The woman murmured timidly.

"You're embarrassed, what happened to the feared Val?" Jon raised an eyebrow.

"Shut up." She simply murmured, picking up the bow and starting to aim at the deer as Jon had requested, not wanting to talk anymore.

"...," Jon just remained silent, watching with a small smile.

She narrowed her eyes as the arrow pointed at the deer 40 meters away, while they were at least 3 kilometers from the camp, alone in the forest.

Val was concentrating as she prepared to release the arrow from her hand, despite not being used to this weapon since she normally wielded a sword.

However, at that moment, a sudden gust of wind came as large wings flapped in the sky, alerting the deer immediately. In a desperate attempt, Val released the arrow but only hit a tree trunk while the animal fled in fear, more scared by the approaching creature than Val's attempt, as she even missed where the deer had been.

"Damn... Jon, your creature scares everything in the forest!" Val complained, trying to blame her failure on the dragon, while Jon sighed, watching the white mass pass over them, causing another gust of wind as it flew ahead, making the dragonborn raise an eyebrow.

"Is she...?" Jon murmured before seeing the enormous creature descend and catch the poor animal 300 meters away after it ran as fast as it could, only to be crushed by the dragon.

"Did it pay for the deer? Is it competing with you or something? Or did you use your Warg powers?" Val asked, astonished, as the sound of trees breaking under the weight of the dragon landing in the middle of the forest echoed loudly.

"No... I didn't control her for that; I have no idea what she's doing..." Jon commented, somewhat lost, as the enormous dragon grabbed the deer in its mouth from a distance, making Jon wonder if it was really trying to compete with him.

The dragon then lifted off, flying again as its wings flapped, moving toward them before flying over Jon, who stared fixedly into its crimson eyes, wondering what it was up to. The dragon, still holding the dead animal in its mouth, then released it, letting it fall in Jon's direction, with the carcass hitting the ground near them.

"...," Jon.

"...," Val.

Both of them stared at the animal, now riddled with enormous holes in its body after being clamped between the dragon's teeth.

While Jon scratched his head, Val couldn't hold back. "HAHAHAHAHA!" She burst into laughter. "What was that? Is your dragon trying to please you or something?" She asked in an amused tone.

"I don't know..." Jon murmured as he watched the dragon circle the air near him but never leave, following Jon since he had left the camp. "Either way... I'm not sure we can use the deer, but let's take its body." Jon said, approaching the carcass and storing it inside his dimensional space.
