Ayan nodded shyly, then began to portion out the prey he'd just dismantled to the tribe members in the cave. Afterward, he exchanged his share for the young female's share, saying, "You eat this."
The meat in his hand was one of the best parts of the prey and had already been torn neatly into small pieces.
The young female accepted it with a shy smile and patted the beast skin mat beside her. "Sit down."
Once Ayan sat down, she handed the meat she had just received to him. "Here, this is mine."
Then she split the portion Ayan had just given her and shared some with him. "I can't eat so much. You need to eat well since you'll have to keep watch and patrol later. Go ahead."
The two, both barely into adulthood, were openly displaying affection, making others envious. Even the two females who had been bickering earlier were pulled apart by their respective orc partners.
