Elena watched in silent interest as the dresmondi hunted her prey. She hit her mark perfectly and Elena was surprised to see their dyr turn out to be a tiny little creature. She would have guessed some sort of predator based on the hunting even though she'd learned plenty of time that the form of the dyr doesn't always dictate much about the person. Just look at Eirwen and her rooster.

As they started to pull the deer along the ground, Elena moved out from behind the tree and walked over towards them. "Impressive aim you've got there," she commented with a smile. "That's quite the catch."

Elena wondered if prey like this were typically this scarce or if animals had started to change their routines now that the Eldouirs had arrived and for the first time in Dresmond history, set up a location that was never meant to be temporarily used as the wagons moved through the land. It made sense it might affect the wildlife, the question was how much.

As Queen, she would have appreciated a 'your majesty' somewhere in there but she wasn't feeling particularly nitpicky. Had it been Adeline, Elena would have imagined her fellow Queen would said something. She waved her hand in dismissal at the apology. "I don't expect every soul to be constantly on the lookout for the chance that an Eldouir is around. Especially out here," she commented. "What are your plans for the deer," she inquired.

"Hmmm," Elena hummed thoughtful as she looked at the deer before she turned her gaze back to the dresmondi. "And do you typically save it for yourself or do you share such a meal with others?" she asked, her eyes boring into Aydin's as if she would be able to tell if they were lying.

There was nothing in Elena's face that betrayed what she was thinking or why she was asking. It was a mask of mystery and risk. What was it that she wanted to hear?

Elena nodded thoughtfully. She was clearly resourceful and she lived in a way that would benefit her the most. Sometimes it was offering the kindness of sharing. Other times it was worth it to ask for payment in exchange. Or she would simply keep it for herself, making sure she could survive without the assistance of others. Resourceful. Wise. ...and quite pretty too.

She did not make a comment about what she thought of the girl's plans for the animal. "You said you weren't done hunting?" she asked, as the girl had mentioned leaving the animal here to go continue her hunt of smaller game. "Might I accompany you?" she asked. "Or if you're finished I could help you take the deer back to your wagon?"

The dresmondi agreed to her company and if she was afraid she didn't show it in her face. Elena appreciated that. It wasn't always the case. She remembered the girl she'd met not that long ago who had clearly wanted nothing to do with her. She'd ended up giving her a bag of food anyway. And could she blame any of them with the way they'd been treated thus far? Could Elena do anything to improve things? She hoped so but though she was Queen she was not the God that Hiram had appointed himself.

"To be honest, I know very little of the wildlife here. I trust your good senses," she said with a little smile. "And don't worry, I'm very quiet," she added.
