Archer Valle

This was certainly a wild interaction, and one Archer would not be quick to forget. The man spoke with a strange accent, killed fish for no reason - and left many to waste - and fake-attacked him. The young Valle didn't know what to do, the strangeness itself raising his hackles without the need for aggression. He was certainly going to defend himself and his food, however. If the larger man did decide to start a fight, Archer would meet him.

And then he was laughing. Archer stared, wide-eyed, and didn't move when the man declared he wasn't going to hurt him. He didn't ask what he was searching for - he didn't want to know - and he didn't move to stop him eating some of the decimated fish. He watched him leave, noting it wasn't in the direction of the territory, and waited until the man was completely gone to scoop up the rest of his own fish and the corpse of another and ran for home.

FADE

Archer is very haggard and thin; it is obvious he is not doing well.
