Rather than spending the day chore-free or learning to sew and make clothes, both Ingrid and Yraka decided it is an excellent time to learn how to hunt down and skin beasts. 'You should go hunt down beasts before they burrow because of the winter.'
While it makes sense, if he could've helped it, then another hunting trip with the red fairy would be among the last topics on a list. They have a point: time is running out, on what he can spend in the village and the time to hunt down beasts before winter arrives.
Going to hunt down a wolf pack back in a cave or a bear is not a good idea. Contrary to the previous trip, his "guide" is trying a more calm approach, not jumping from tree to tree, just strolling past a whitening sea of red leaves.
