Second Reaction

As a general rule, Kana was a very fine hunter for a girl, and none of the Wanderers seemed to care that a girl hunted, but her ability to get distracted by the slightest thing - in this case a tiny blue blossom swaying in the tall green grass - was dangerous.

Because she almost got killed.

By an angry pheasant.

Andrev acted first, whipped his spear through the air. No good - the pheasant was faster.

His second reaction was perhaps the better one - reaching out, tamping into the animal’s mind and ordering it to halt.

It did.

Kana stared at him.
