Will You Remember?

He began to speak and she was just about to tell him that he was doing it wrong when he changed his train of thought and began speaking about himself. She listened as he told her a bit of his upbringing. Slave games. She didn't like it. It made sense and she could see how it would promote memory and dexterity, but she still didn't like it.

"Looks like you'll be spending a lot of time with my aunt then," she murmured, still thinking of her giant purple sibling.

Bas went back to the start, telling her that he wished to know how to please her. "I'm not sure," she answered honestly. "There are things that I like, but not many others seem to like those things.

She peeled the hide back from the boar and quickly and easily sliced through the membrane between hide and flesh. She wasn't sure why he was skinning a boar, but if he wanted the hide, she'd give it to him.
