While the hunter was setting up his camp inside, I quickly digested and respawned the materials directly outside the cave.
Excellent.
As I gained the Biomass, I immediately spent it regrowing the grass and a couple weeds at the entrance. The rocks and sticks were mine, however!
The human began setting his strange objects down on my floor. Unattended! Excellent! Time to -
Wait, what? What if I immediately remake his object for him?
Dammit! I needed resources! Which I could only get if people left them for me. Useless system!
<*CLANK*> "Son of a bitch!"
The human immediately drew his bow and pointed it in my direction, arrow drawn to his cheek.
"Don't mind me. Just... stubbed my toe."
Shaking his head, the hunter headed for the cave exit, having finished gutting hte boar and taking it's insides out.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I have to bury this. It's inedible, and the smell will attract larger beasts to come find me while I sleep."
"Throw it on the floor. I'll take care of it."
The human looked confused, but tossed the buckets contents onto the ground.
The hunters mouth dropped open as the organs disappeared.
"If there's anything you don't want or need any more, let me know. I'll clean it up for you."
"This is just too creepy, talking to a rock, it talking back. Now it's cleaning up messes... Wait, the blood's gone? Weirdo rock."
"I can hear you, you know! Stop calling me weirdo rock! My name is Orion!"
"A rock with a name. Great. Well, Orion, I'm Gareth, a hunter from around these parts."
Woah. I gained energy from knowledge?
Either way, that's kinda... cool.
"So Gareth, is the cave to your liking, then? I did offer to change it if necessary."
"It's a decent campsite, I can't deny that, but with the nearest water source being the river a few kilometers away, it's not ideal."
'System, how can I make a water source?'
"Gareth, pour some water on the floor."
He narrowed his eyes for a moment, then pulled a strange looking pouch from his pack. Uncorking it, he sprinkled a small amount on the floor.
Excellent.
'System, claim 1 meter into the ground at the back of the cave.'
'Yes, a nice round opening, 1 meter deep. The make water to fill it.'
'OK, make 9 liters then. Jesus.'
The sound of water trickling broke the silence of the cave. Gareths eyes stuck out of his head as he stared at the newly formed hole, with water slowly pouring into it from above.
"9 liters of water. All yours for the taking. It'll refresh every few days. Anything else?"
Gareth was standing completely still for a moment, and then began to vibrate silently. His shaking hand moved forward into the slowly diminishing stream of water.
'Is this how humans say thank you?'
