Bab 14: Chapter 14: Roasted Boar

Sophie and Ilaria

At the Edge of Ruin’s Sea (The Nation) - 11:15 PM

Beaming with pride, Gibraltr turned into the lodge where Sophie waited. His amber eyes fixed on her, as wolfish of a grin as she’d ever seen stretched across his face.

With Ilaria coiled up next to her, she found they were both truly happy to see him. And then she saw what he had draped over his shoulders, her eyes widening.

Smiling, he tossed a bundle of carrots on the ground next to her. She watched them fall into the dirt, not sure how to react.

Before leaving for his hunt, Gibrlatr had also taken a metal pail he had found at the back of the lodge. It now dangled from his right hand, full of clean water. He set it down on the ground by her feet.

Sophie looked up at him. “Is that a pig?” she asked, pointing at the carcass draped over his shoulders.

“Yes!” Gibraltr said triumphantly. “Give me a minute, I’ll get it dressed up and set it to cooking for us!”
