Ruby whips out her old weapon from it's sheathe, and after slashing the air a few times puts it back.
"Yup! Gotta stay sharp. Heh, see what I did there?" Ruby says, nudging Emerald to make sure he got the pun.
Emerald rolls his eyes, but then thinks on her weapon. It's certainly in need of repair. He thinks about offering his own knife, but thinks better on it. Maybe when he gets the chance he can find her a better one.
Emerald then makes it clear that hunting is hard work and that she should be ready. She nods, and then the three mares come out of the house.
Joyride immediately turns on the spot and begins to fold up the house while Nishan and Loupe wander slightly farther ahead. Emerald notices that Loupe doesn't really make eye contact with anyone except Nishan, and even then just barely.
They continue on their journey towards the wasp nests. Nishan, Loupe, and Ruby walk ahead of the cart. Ruby asks for pointers, and Nishan obliges. Loupe isn't saying much of anything at all. Emerald is walking slightly behind them, looking for any traces of animals, and Joyride isn't doing much of anything at all.
