Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Are you..." Lune took a breath. "Are you fearful or me, now that you've seen what I can do?" It was his greatest fear really. In society, not many look kindly upon martial artist unless you're in that kind of town. In the business word, as he's seen numerously, it's shunned upon. That's why he hid his past from many.

He thinks my past is cool!? Those were Lune's initial thoughts. But then he heard the other break off mid-sentence. "You...what? Alex-san?" From where he was sitting, he couldn't see the blush on the other's face.

Lune sat there shocked. Both because it was another guy telling him this and also because not even his wife had uttered those words! "Uh... Um..." He was completely and utterly speechless. For that one moment, he knew not what to do.

Lune sighed, knowing he was at a loss. "Ano...Alex-san. I don't...have a reply your words. So, for now, I'll just take it as a compliment." He paused. "I don't think it strange for such words to be uttered. So I shall not speak any words of distaste." He blushed lightly as he stumbled over his words. "N-not many have told me that, so I'm somewhat happy. But since it's you Alex, I'm not quite sure how to respond so... Don't take my behavior as an offense. I just... Sorry. I can't give you a reply right now." He hurriedly returned to carving the tucks into daggers. He was very flustered right now.

Lune put the tusks near the fire to dry. He grabbed the hog's body and dragged it into the tunnel and came back. "I...I'm going to skin it and start on that pelt. The meat I'll roast over the fire." He paused. "I...I want you to watch so you can do it your self. In case I can't." There was all kinds of possibilities that he'd eventually get injured. This way, Alex would at least know a few things.

Lune picked up a sharp rock and began working on the hog. (Since the process is gorey and unsettling, I'm skipping it.) Once he got the skin off, he carried both back. The hog's body he draped over two of the unfinished spears and tied it down. He then stood it up so the blood would drain out near the water's exit. The head he discarded of in the jungle.

Lune came back and grabbed the pelt once more. He brought it over to the water where he proceeded to wash it. "Once it's clean, it'll have to warm dry. Fire will burn it to a crisp. ... ... ...Alex-san, are you okay?"

"I understand. I'll teach you bit-by-bit then. I know this is gruesome work, but it's better to know what to do than end up accidentally poisoning yourself." Lune stood and shook the pelt. He grabbed two short sticks and moved a rock that had been placed in the fire by the wall. He then draped the pelt over it to dry from its warmth. He washed his hands and splashed some water on his face.
