[ What in Christ's name has she gotten herself into? Claire puts down her things, not sure she should stop a shark from hunting, and simply gathers her skirts in hand to follow. With no clue what she's about to see, he can't blame her if she seems nervous. This is what one might call new territory for her. ]
Have you been in Solvunn long? I don't believe we've ever crossed paths before.
[ Is she supposed to be quiet? No idea, but she does speak softly. ]
[ Quiet is good. Nanaue, she might be surprised to notice, moves very quietly despite his size. At least when he's focused and getting ready to hunt. ]
Me here... [ he thinks for a moment, looking down distractedly at his fingers like he means to start counting - but no, now it not the time to be doing maths. So she won't get a clear answer from him on that topic.
In fact, after they reach the edge of the forest and into the trees he suddenly picks up speed, fixed on something beyond the bushes. An ambush predator he is not - it's full tilt with the speed of a train and the eerily silence of his movement until he disappears - and followed by the terrible death squeals of some dying fauna.
Will she investigate?
If so, she will find Nanaue standing confidently in a clearing, holding a headless deer by its rear legs. ]
[ It takes a few seconds for her to catch up, and all the while she's wondering how about so many things. When she's about five paces away from the bushes, Claire hears the noises and winces, eyebrows drawn tightly together. She didn't realize it would be quite so noisy.
She isn't squeamish by nature, she's been up to her knees and elbows in blood and gore, so it isn't so much the sight of the deer with no head as it is Nanaue holding it up proudly that has her gaping. Voiceless, for a few moments, she says the only thing that comes to mind first. ]
Your hunting would make it so much simpler to field dress a deer.
[ People have to eat, and Jamie had brought her more than one deer during their time at Lallybroch. Jenny showed her how to take care of skinning and removing the organs, using just about every part. It isn't just food either; Claire uses different parts of the innards in her medicine.

[ She's a good shot with both gun and bow, though. But she has no idea what conversation she's getting herself into. ]
I can't hunt but I'm not a very good tracker.
[ That was all Jamie, she knows her weakness. ]

Me good hunt. Me show.
[ He places the wood and sandpaper down, then starts walking in the direction of the woods.
If she doesn't stop him, he'll be gone for a little while. ]

Nanaue holds it out in her direction. ]
You want share?
[ He's been trying to be good about sharing. That's why he only bit the head off first. ]

No, by all means, this is your supper. I prefer mine cooked.
[ Does she let him have privacy and turn away? It seems rude to stare; she'd hate it if someone watched her eat. ]
