"Feel better?"
Jude said as he stroked Lupa's head. Surprisingly, Lupa did not growl. Instead, she suddenly licked him with her tongue.
Ugh... The smell of blood was strong!
But it did not feel bad at all. He felt like he had been accepted by Lupa.
When the wild boar finally stopped breathing, Lupa pulled her snout away from Jude and went somewhere else to watch.
"What should I do with it?"
Did she want him to have the wild boar?
A dead animal had to be dealt with quickly, before the meat spoiled. Even if he wanted to save it for later, he had to drain the blood first. He had thought Lupa caught it to eat it, but it seemed he was wrong...
"Is this a gift for me?"
She turned her head the other way at his question, as if she had not heard it. To Jude, it was as if she were saying she did not want any piece of it. What a strange girl...
What would she gain by doing something like this for a human, he wondered?
"No, wait..."
