She watched me horrified, looking like she was about to vomit.
All of them did.
I awoke before everyone else and after spending a couple of hours studying from the new Shuras, got to work barbequing one of the scorpions. It was common to me now, but the revulsion on their faces reminded me that I had truly been surviving like a savage down in this hole for the last couple of weeks.
Still, I had burned a lot of calories and needed to replenish them.
Plus, the stuff tasted pretty good to me now.
“You guys don’t know what you’re missing,” I said, taking another bite and then washing it down with some muddy water. “Don’t worry. You’ll eat it once you get hungry enough.”
“I still have some rations,” Wing Pho said, grimacing. “I can do with just that for now.”
It’d been about four hours since we arrived in the cavern. Thankfully the aetherite crystal seemed to have done its job. Although one of the guys, Song De, seemed to be suffering from some memory loss. He couldn’t recall anything after the crash landing. It was a reminder that not every mind could take the rigors of the Hell World.
