Watching Baron Katelai stomp off in a huff, Hudson had initially planned to gift the wild goose he hunted as a consolation for the Baron's hurt ego.
However, recalling the significance of the number thirteen in the Continent of Aslante, he ultimately abandoned this provocative idea.
It wouldn't do to aggravate the situation with good intentions. The Baron had already reluctantly agreed. A little more prodding, and he might just lose his mind.
Perhaps the mere coincidence of the goose hunt seemed like a deliberate "intimidation" to Baron Katelai.
Good heavens, "five arrows, thirteen geese, each arrow piercing a skull" - could a normal person achieve such a feat?
Even if Hudson cheated, it would still require cooperation from the geese. The miracle wouldn't have happened if the geese weren't changing formation at the exact moment the arrows arrived.
