“There’s no need,” she remarked, unphased by the worry that was becoming a bit more apparent towards in the homunculus’ voice. “All it takes is a lone fool for us to reap the benefits.” She turned towards the creature, “And if you were to think that the winter had taken with it all of the fools in the world, I would assume you to know better.”

If nothing else, the increased cost was going to be an issue that stood to present itself when they may have ventured to a different location within Fiore, as the increased business would surely mean that the prices there would be higher. To fail to establish funds now would put that much more of a sense of urgency upon the pair.

For the woman, it was not a concern, but the payment and compensation certainly was. The client knew this as well, offering both monetary rewards but also the chance to reside at his establishment at no cost. It was a worthwhile enough of a deal for her. And the task itself was hardly a thing that was concerning towards her. Some beasts, native to Dahlia and its immediate lands, but it was hardly the first time that she had dealt with their kind. She expected it would not be their last either.

“Think we’re close?” The companion asked, unsure as well as to what they were expected to find. It was certainly impressed if nothing else by the duality of their circumstances. As much struggling to find these creatures which so often were considered to be a plague upon the people of Dahlia, whilst also carrying the sense that they were right there, simply a step or two away throughout.
She turned towards the companion, the faint looks of a smile upon her lips, “We’ve been here for a while. Simply just needed a clearer venue.”

Know thy enemy.
Despite their pack tactics, creatures like this were seldom intimidating or otherwise worrisome. Their minds were simple, barely above that of the basic animal instincts that they possessed. Food was to be eaten, prey to be killed, predators to be avoided, and whatever were to cause pain was to be avoided if it could not be slain.
But how would one stand against the pain of their own minds? Could creatures of such a simple mentality even be able to recognize that sort of danger?
Doubtful, but she hoped that if nothing else, it would provide for a good show.

One sought to lunge for her, only to stopped in its place, the same cries that had brutally scarred its companion now similarly afflicting it. No further effort was made on its part to try to stop the woman, who continued to hold the staff within her hands, the pain and agony evident on its face was only made worse in contrast to the look of sickening glee on that of the woman’s. It sought to erase the image of her smile from its mind, only after a desperate attempt at shutting and keeping shut its eyes that it was gifted the release of death.

Nothing further was needed to be conveyed. Within seconds, the creatures departed, hastily making their way away from the woman and her companion in whatever manner suited them. The elegance and refined hunting tactics that had once been shown in their arrival was gone, thrown away in favor of basic animalistic survival. She could not help but chuckle slightly at the turning of affairs, the breakdown of these creatures, still arguably having had an equal footing in terms of their numbers and physical attributes, was something she couldn’t help but enjoy.
“I do enjoy that, don’t you? Animals. At the end of the day, that is all they are. Animals.”
Her companion said nothing, though agreeing with her in the sentiment, but not wanting to give the satisfaction of completely agreeing. To do that would be too easy. Giving the faint agreement of a nod, an acknowledgement at its simplest level, the woman said nothing further, simply accepting the concession and gesturing for them to return back towards the main part of the region, where an expected free room was awaiting them.
