Even though Veer's voice carried a soft playfulness, it couldn't hide the steel beneath it. Kaya's lips curved into a smile. This was one of the things she loved most about him — if she asked, he acted. No questions, no hesitation. If she told him to jump, he would ask only how high, never why.
But then Cutie spoke up, his voice soft as usual, yet tinged with icy undertones. "But… what if there are too many boars together?"
Kaya turned her head and met his gaze. His calm tone, combined with that cold edge, made it clear: even Cutie, gentle as he seemed, would not falter when it mattered.
Kaya watched Cutie for a moment, then slowly turned to him with a faintly impressed expression. "Well… what can we do? One boar isn't going to fill my stomach that easily. Looks like we'll need to wait and hunt a few more."
Cutie nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm… then how about we lure the boars with some prey and capture them?"
Kaya's lips curved into a satisfied smile. "Not bad. Quite a clever idea."
