Douglas shrugged.  "Nae everyone enjoys it.  I enjoyed being oot with my da and oot in the natural world.   'unting is part of that world."  He had sketched many scenes after sitting in a tree or out somewhere secure planning to hunt but ending up just watching and memorizing the scene to draw it later.  Hunting for food and the fur for warmth was part of human life too if done respectfully.

He had finished the salmon and had earlier taken a bite of the roast beef, not being one to worry about the order of things.  Now though, he set aside the empty plate and brought out the roast beef to give it his full focus.  It had been quite good.

After eating a bit, he looked over to the doctor.  "Yu spoke of dangerous things, did yu ever get yurself intae trouble as a lad?  or younger man?"  He asked with a kind of conspiracy wink, "most of us dae some nae sae smart things at that age.  I know I did."  He took another deep drink of the wine.
