"SOME of the wild beasts here are a great source of food. There were even a lot of edible fruits and vegetables scattered around. So even without enough money, we haven't been starving," Clay said when Aurum asked where they get their food. "But some of us still go down the mountain once a month to buy supplies we couldn't find in the forest."
They were still a quarter away from their destination. Clay wanted to continue talking. Because that way, he wouldn't have the time to think about the soft hand he was holding. If he let himself drown in that feeling, he probably wouldn't want to ever let go. Which was really bad in itself. Because that's a thought he shouldn't ever entertained.
"But wasn't hunting those wild beasts dangerous?" Aurum said after she heard Clay's answer to her question.
"We only pick those wild beasts that we're sure we could handle. And we set traps around, so sometimes we don't necessarily fight them face to face."
