She scowled at his question. "Is that so strange?"
"Well, yeah," Beam didn't try to hide his surprise. "I don't think I've ever seen a girl hunting before."
"So you're stupid, then?" She asked back, immediately growing heated. Beam guessed it was a sore spot for her, so he just shrugged and said nothing further.
"Well, I'm going to get going then. Just how much wood are you lacking?" He asked, as he began walking towards the forest, dragging his sled.
"Pretty much all of it," Nila said, not bothering to hide their lacking. She caught the look Beam was shooting her. "What? We were just going to use blankets, like my mother said."
"Didn't you just call me stupid half a second ago?" Beam pointed out. "When the snows set in, without a fire on the night, you'll freeze to death on the first night."
"No, we wouldn't," Nila disagreed as she hurried on after him.
"Yes, you would," Beam said impatiently.
