"Now that you are walking," Roshan asked "Are you able to walk around the village without trouble?"
As slow as this was, it was important that the girl-beast was able to travel long distances. If she wanted to go to the East, she needed to able to travel on both forms without difficulty. Whether Anna would change back to her human form was a matter of time.

"I think I can."Anna said, walking around in circles, making sure she didn't topple over again. Her walking was clumsy for sure, but it would work.

"Right then. Let's get started." she said
They began walking around the village itself, out of the way of the villagers. The ground was not as level as the center of it, but provided a challenge for Anna to remain steady and on her feet.

As expected, Anna stumbled about in a very clumsy fashion. She did fall over a few times, still having difficulty keeping her legs synched, but she generally was able to keep on her feet through out most of the walk.

They continued their walk for a while, and stopped to get something to eat from the village. Due to them both not having anything to trade for a meal, the only options were either to work for it or steal it.

"So, how are we gonna eat with out that weird shiny things people give each other?"Anna asked, referring to the local monetary system.

"We would have to earn our meal or forage for food outside the village." the woman said

"Oh... okay."Anna said looking around, not sure how they'd earn their food. Soon something caught her eye. She soon wet over to a small hole. She sniffed the ground and a wide grin spread on her face. "MICE!"She announced happily, backing away from the hole and waiting for any mice to come out.

The woman left the girl-beast to hunt while she went to ask one of the villagers about a short term job. It was a tough time haggling over the amount of food given for a simple task as both she and the villager were stubborn. Neither wanted to yield to the other's demands or would compromise.
However, Roshan needed to feed the both of them before they were to leave the village. She had to accept a fetch quest; to gather honey to fill a large jar.

"I found a bunch of Mice!"Anna announced, popping up between Roshan and the Villager with half a mouse hanging out of her mouth. "We'll never go hungry again!"She declared happily.

"A handful of mice is good, but honey and larger game is better." Roshan said
She took a woven bag with the large jar, shouldered the straps.
"Once we bring back honey to Sai here, we will be given enough meat for two days." she said to Anna

Anna's eyes widened at the mention of honey. She gulped down the rest of the mouse in her mouth. "Honey?!"She asked excitedly. "Lemme gather up some more mice and we can go!"Anna said, quickly returning to the mouse hole.

Once Anna was finished with her second mouse hunt, the two left the village towards a grove of trees some distance away. The villager had told Roshan that the grove was where large bee hives were rich with honey and the sweet honey combs. There few dangers aside from the lions, snakes, and smaller carnivores.

Anna was having difficulty carrying her mice. She'd had to grab some loose cloth to carry them all, and even then they were all trying to crawl out. It wasn't helped that Anna had to carry the makeshift sac in her teeth. "How much farther?"She asked, with her words slight mumbled thanks to the sac.

"Just a bit more." Roshan said
She then noticed that Anna was having difficulty with her catch.
"Do you need help with that?" she asked
