"South Cliffs Tribe?!" Davis suddenly exclaimed, his voice breaking the tense silence like a knife through butter. "But that's at least a week's journey from here. How did you land up chasing monsters all the way up north?"
"Well, we headed about three days north to find the monster horde." Jason explained dryly. "It then split into two groups and I chased after the one leading us further north until I landed up here. It was your usual hunt."
"And your companions?" Theo asked with narrowed eyes.
"Probably heading back home if they weren't killed." Jason shrugged. "I already told them not to come looking for me when I went after the stragglers."
"And why would you do that?" Theo questioned, crossing his arms over his chest. "Wouldn't you want to return to your tribe, even if you died. Perhaps give some closure to any family."
