Some Undivided Hypertension

---

At the treehouse, Set had decided to slink off on his own. He hadn't been outside the city walls to hunt in a while, and he almost went head to head with Ukko again at the very idea of taking Shuule out. Males could scent a female in heat from a far distance, especially outside in the forest where there so few women around anyway. He wanted to wring the bird's neck and start over with the hunt for spouses to punish him for suggesting that they go to the trees or the cliffs to mate. They had just, literally hours ago, banished a Rootless beast who would love nothing more than to hurt Anna in some way, or the very least would be willing to steal a female. He also knew somewhere out there, his siblings would be lurking, and the long standing feud with eagles would make her the prime target for one of them to try and snatch. His marking on her heart would make her even more valuable, as a spouse who would potentially not be disgusted by them.
