Chapter 13: Where Is Chris?
Advika dismounted the dead lizard, her Beast emerging from the blade and resuming its combat form beside her. Together, they began butchering the second lizard.
Christopher watched as she extracted the core, unfazed by the blood. She tossed it to him, and he caught it deftly.
"That's your share of the deal. You're free to leave," she said flatly, resuming her work on the lizard while Vicki assisted with the other.
"Thank you, Chris," Sylvia said with a bow.
"Is she always like this?" he asked, gesturing towards Advika.
"Uh? Like how?" Sylvia replied, confused.
"Never mind." he said, shaking his head.
Grooowl!
His face flushed with embarrassment. There was no way Sylvia hadn't heard his stomach rumble.
"Fufufufu..." Sylvia chuckled, then turned to her sister. "Advika, why don't we finish this quickly and head home to eat?"
"Are you hungry?" Advika asked, her gaze fixed on butchering the lizard.
