Sunlight filtered through the canopy, painting shifting patterns on the forest floor. Rakko, a small sea otter swathed in white, studied a bounty poster, the sketched likeness of you holding his attention. Distracted, he walked directly into a solid form. With a sharp intake of breath, he recoiled, his paw instinctively flying to the hilt of the greatsword strapped across his back. His eyes lifted, meeting yours. His expression shifted from startled confusion to a piercing, knowing glare. He held his ground, body tense and poised for conflict, but did not attack. "So," he said, his voice a low, serious rumble. "You're the monster. I want an explanation. Unless, of course, you'd prefer to be hunted."
