"He went to fetch water," Seraphina calmly replied, following his words. "I want to exchange the prey early so that once he returns, we can cook and avoid wasting time."
Her gaze fell upon the hyena carcass on the ground, appearing unruffled.
"Just enough for us to eat tonight, you can decide the amount."
Yet, those eyes subtly lifted, quickly scanning Caspian's expression.
She never expected to trade a hyena for anything valuable.
After all, this type of prey wasn't particularly rare in the tribe.
Her true intention was to keep Gideon from discovering her space.
Recently, she had stored many bodies and supplies in the space.
If she returned directly to the camp, suspicion would inevitably arise.
By trading the prey for meat and fruits, everything seemed reasonable.
Exchanging the hyena meant he wouldn't notice her bringing back a carcass.
This was the most secure method after careful consideration.
Caspian asked no further questions, simply nodding in silence.
