Chapitre 178: Plan of action (3)

"How much food do you have left in storage?" Lucius asked half-mindedly as he continued drawing up a plan on the soil.

"Storage?"

"Food reserves, how many days do you have left," Lucius elaborated, pausing whatever he was doing to look up at Shavak.

"The last boar we killed was several days ago. So we have a few more days before we have to eat again," Shavak replied hesitantly, unsure if he was answering Lucius's question properly.

"What?" Lucius asked in confusion, it took him another moment to realize that although these creatures had intelligence, they were still nowhere near to being referred to as 'truly' civilized creatures.

"So your species can last several days without eating? That's good to know," he whispered to himself, realizing that he himself hadn't eaten in a while as well. Though at least now he knew that it was going to be easier feeding these creatures as compared to humans who had to eat every so often for them to be healthy.
