Bob was questioning his life choices when suddenly, he heard footsteps. The strength behind them left Bob depressed as he remembered the existence that put him into this uncomfortable situation.
Why couldn't the orc just kill him? Bob could not give up his life willingly. Bob was such a person.
'How are you?' During Ed's absence, Sharog took personal responsibility for the man. Well, as much as she could.
She only fed him once or twice a day and the time interval between each feeding could be a couple of hours or practically a whole day. The unrest of the tribe had made it difficult for Sharog to care for the human without exposing herself.
If that happened… Ed would be lucky to find her alive. Keeping that human for him was a significant risk and Ed was quite grateful towards her for this reason. In his mind, the death of Bob would have mattered little.
Still, a healthy Bob equals a healthy mind so went the saying.
