You decide to search the house for vermin to consume. There are no mice or rats to be found, but you do find a larger, fuzzier creature that you believe is called a "cat". It rubs against your leg and makes a strange noise. A 'purr'. You pick it up. It rubs its face against yours. Uncertain how to respond to this demonstration of affection, you place the cat back down. You know that the creature is probably a "pet" belonging to Alvier, and that he is unlikely to be pleased if it disappears.
Instead, you leave the cottage and explore the town. It's larger than you thought it would be, though not as large as Goodharbor. It's closer to a small city than a town, really, with a farming community on the out-skirts. You've learned about "money", and considering you have some, you think you might see what things you can purchase. During the course of this, you learn that the town is well-populated enough that you could probably get away with killing a few people without drawing suspicion.
After doing some shopping, you find some more clothing that you find suits your taste, which isn't torn or ripped, and a pack to keep your belongings in. You also purchase a horse and a large wardog, which requires most of your funds. But they won't fight back until its too late. You lead them away, off to a private, secluded area far from the edges of town, then you kill and eat them. You were literally hungry enough to eat a horse, and you had room left over for the dog too. It was a very satisfying meal.
Afterwards, you return to Alvier's home. He returns in the late afternoon, and then you watch him train. He stands outside, moving through what he calls "katas", using a large spear. His movements are graceful and elegant, and there's something else about him. He seems something more than human. Afterwards, you have dinner, and exchange light conversation. He notes how your wounds seem to already be healed, and seems slightly confused by it, but doesn't question you further.
He goes to bed, and you do the same, waiting until you hear his breathing become that of a sleeping person before slipping out into the night, ready to hunt once more.
