The hunter's overpriced ash arrow sits unused for three years, then meets a pony-sized wolf. Money well spent, apparently.

The hunter sees one doe and instantly budgets meat, hide, boots, Elain's cloak, and Nesta's envy. Efficient.
The hunter says life has become surviving the week, day, or hour, and the surrounding thoughts prove it: daylight, noise, meat, hide, and blood trails. Long-term hope appears only as a distant fantasy about paint, time, and enough food.
Which concern most drives the hunter's first shot? The wolf is about to kill the doe while the hunter weighs damage to the carcass, the danger of a possible faerie, and becoming the next meal.
- Preserve the doe's meat and hide
- Eliminate a possible faerie
- Avoid becoming the wolf's next meal
