When I woke up Hailwic was already eating her breakfast. Just staring into the air in front of her with empty eyes. I stretched, and yawned loudly, which broke her from the strange trance she was in.
- Morning. Is everything ok?
- Yeah. Everything is fine. Eat your breakfast, and let's go hunting - she said forcing herself to smile briefly.
There was definitely something going on. If I didn't have so much confidence in my skills, I probably wouldn't allow her to go hunting that day, but I was sure I can keep both of us alive. I finished my food pretty quickly, then we made it to the cliff. I told her to wait until I clean up what's below. She listened. I was quite sure that I saw her relax a bit after that information. A couple of minutes later we were fighting with the first cart, to take it to the bottom.
