I SEE THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES | WEEKLY TASK, PATROL

[Straw]

  [font=trebuchet ms]The others joining them were Kade and Stark, and possibly any other stragglers who happened to come in late. Even if it was just the four of them, that was fine. They would be able to deal with most intruders, provided it wasn't a full-on raid, and even then better four than one.

  As they set off, Straw silently watched the skies, and the gray clouds blanketing them. Snow wasn't probable in this weather; rain didn't seem likely either, but it could strike in the blink of an eye. Neither of those would get in the way of a border patrol, but it might make hunting more difficult (if the four of them decided to hunt).

  Killua's question jarred her out of her thoughts. Leveling her gaze at the serval, she answered, "A friend." Well, maybe she could be more specific than that. Looking aside, she continued, "Quince. Couple years older than me. Said she'd killed it when she was my age." She wasn't exactly sure how given that they were supposed to be extinct, but if creatures could conjure candy out of thin air, the reappearance of extinct animals wasn't really out of the question.

  With a shrug, she added, "She was a jaguar. Probably could've done it."
