There were poachers on family land again. Normally, Daxiana was gentle on Poachers. Everyone needed to eat. But some idiot had killed a doe, and a pregnant doe at that. She could stand audacity, hell, she admired audacity. But this was just ignorant and greedy, and she loathed that combination.
She hadn't been patrolling. She'd been escorting ole what's his name, the pretty boy who mother wanted her to get to know. He WAS handsome, but as a rule, Dax didn't like dating men who wore more perfume than her sisters. He had claimed to be a fine woodsman. She had decided to test that claim.

He was not a fine woodsman. He got lost in the first hour after she slipped away. She had intended to let him panic, then go get him again and inform him while she was flattered by his interest, it was not going to work out.

But this? This was more important than what's his face. You kill too many does you can ruin the hunt of the next year. House Medvyed knew the wilds, knew ther lands well, and Dax knew them better than most. Well, at least better than her sisters and brothers could anyway.
So she hunted the poacher. It was a thrill really. Hunting the hunter, a fellow human no less, was different from hunting animals. If the poacher had any skill, this could be a challenge! Still, despite some efforts to cover his tracks, she found him after a mere hour and a half. She snuck closer to his make shift camp, and coaxed the fellow's horse away while he was busy watering a shrub. Then she waited.
The man came back, and cursed, "Where's my damn horse?"
She shot an arrow at his feet, he jumped, reached for his bow and... realized she was already prepared to take another shot.
"No no no, " She warned the poacher, "My next shot will go before yours, and I won't aim at your feet. Put your hands down."
"You snuck up on me, that's cheating!" The poacher whined.
She blinked, "I'm sorry, you do know you broke the law here, stole OUR deer, my family owns this area by the by, but you think I'm supposed to announce myself from a good distance ? You're rather selective about rules. I mean, I am not one for rules myself, but at least I fess to the failing."
The man's accent wasn't that of Brevoy, just a bit off, and he groused, "Thought this land would be softer."
"You thought wrong," She declared "Where are you from?"
"River Kingdoms" he said "Only got freedoms there, and they can get you killed."
Daxiana got curious. As she tied the man over his horse and guided him yet another hour to her family estate for punishment, she asked more questions about the River Kingdoms, these 'stolen lands'. It sounded messy, but also not a place where they tried to arrange marriage for you.
Still, maybe her parents would be pleased she caught a poacher?

"WHERE..." Her mother demanded, "Is the baron?"
"The baron?" Daxiana blinked.
"Your SUITOR" Her mother hissed.
It had been, by now, at least four hours since she left her suitor lost in the wild. She looked out the window where a heavy rain was pouring down.
"Oops" Dax smiled haplessly.
