In their own words
“Know the animal before you know the weapon.”
“It is not brave if it cannot reach you.”
How they speak
She answers the question asked and stops. She talks about quarry the way a farrier talks about hooves, as a trade with facts in it, and she is plainly more interested in the animals than in the people hunting them.
Backstory
Maerin came up through kennels and took the master's post because it let her keep the dogs. She thinks the word venery is a bit grand for what is mostly walking, waiting and knowing where a thing sleeps.
Meeting them
MaerinYou want work. Everyone who stands there wants work.
MaerinI am Maerin. I keep the hounds and I keep the lists.
MaerinVenery is the trade of creatures. Tracking, trapping, hunting, bounties, the taming of what will be tamed.
MaerinI give one hunt at a time. Finish it and I will give you another.
MaerinGive one up and I will still give you another. You will only be starting your count again.
You choose (you may ask again):
YouWhat counts toward a hunt?
MaerinWhatever I name. If I say wolves, then wolves, all the kinds of them. If I name one beast, then that beast and nothing else.
YouWhy do I learn nothing from other kills?
MaerinBecause anyone can kill a thing. The trade is in being told what to find and finding it.
YouWhat are the points for?
MaerinNothing yet. The trade has not settled on a price. Keep them.
YouThat is all.
MaerinAsk when you are ready and I will name something.
