Ronin hummed an agreement about where Jigano had seen landsharks; he'd only known them to be central to the fields as well. But then again, with the hunter helping to take protective measures against the monster, perhaps it had decided to swim further afield for its next meal. That he might have inadvertently contributed to what had happened did absolutely nothing to abate his guilt, though Ronin did shift the shovel uneasily on his shoulder as they came to the pit.
"I worry that if we disturb the pit too much we might attract another landshark," he confessed; by looking at how far Jigano had already managed to dig, and how compact the earth had become... well. It was a story that told itself. "So she's really gone, then." He hadn't believed it, even when he'd known he was coming out into the fields on a fake rescue mission. But it was hard to deny it now.
