Okay maybe I like him a little bit. Argento gets closer to me now. And I am sharing my food with him. He seems to like deer way more than any of the other, smaller prey that is easier to catch with traps and such. But that's okay. So do I. He is a good hunter. I don't think that he really needs the food that I give him. He just thinks it is better because he can't seem to catch a deer. He isn't fast enough. But my arrows are. Anyway, Argento is staring over my shoulder now, I can even feel his matted fur touching my neck. One little twitch and he would have me by the throat. But I trust him. I know that he won't do that. Also if he did, my bow and a few arrows are waiting an arms length away. I never go anywhere without them. The bow was given to me by my father when I was a little girl. We just escaped out of Lrig into Namow and it was kind of a "We-are-sorry-that-we-could-have-killed-you" present. I have traded the crude, worn out drawstring in for a tough and durable horsehair one that I got from a big black horse that nearly killed me with his hooves. I will admit that I am a little scared of the big creatures, though I have always wanted one. I'll capture one later, when I am bigger and stronger.
