After thirty minutes of forced rest and a handful of berries Juli found nearby, Eli finally felt ready to take on the challenge.
Juli was sitting next to him, tossing berries into her mouth one at a time.
"So how many more of these are you planning to kill?"
"My quota is ten."
She choked on a berry.
"Ten!? Look at you! And that's only one! Ten? Don't be ridiculous."
Eli scratched his head.
"What? You said they're boring."
"For ME! Not you!"
Eli grabbed a berry from her pile and popped it in his mouth.
"Then help me instead of just watching like you're at a zoo. You already know what I'm doing wrong, so yell at me while I fight."
Juli stared at him, chewing slowly.
"…You want me to coach you live?"
He nodded enthusiastically.
She then threw a berry at his face. It bounced off his forehead.
"Okay! Let's go then, get up!"
Juli jumped to her feet and pulled him up by the arm.
"I saw at least two more hanging around past those trees over there."
