Luring girls

"Don't be too happy this early, tell me honestly, did you both offered some of the preys to lure the girls?"

Roc's face was red and his expression was very unnatural. He was acting differently from his usual confident self. Shyly bowed his head and his voice was as small as a mosquito as he apologized.

"Roc, hey, I don't blame you nor Debro. Would there be a girl who is willing to go with you for no reason?"

Hearing Edward's reply, both Roc and Debro burst out laughing.

The two returned with a spring in their steps back to the hunting team.

The Flying Eagle tribe now has including Edward, a total of 38 people of which 6 people were out to pick salt while Roc and Debro have 4 people for hunting. Now the tribe has two patrols from the remaining 24. People are also involved in making paper. 1 tribesman is involved in cooking leather while 2 are responsible for making charcoal. 2 more people are making pottery and 1 person for arrow making while children are responsible for collecting roots and stems of nuts and plants. 1 person (Qia) is sewing new clothes. The yellow mud is also collected from the swamp once every 6 days. In short, regardless of men women, or children, everyone was busy with a task.

After Debro and Roc left, Edward returned to the cave. The two girls were cutting the soles of the shoes according to the line drawn by Edward on the cooked leather.

"Light, what do you mean exactly with the 'shoes'?"

Daisy and Nights were cooperating together, one folded the leather while the other used the obsidian knife to cut it.

"Daisy you are usually very smart so why do you ask something I previously explained to you?" Edward asked while laughing.

"No, Daisy understands what you mean but it's just that she feels its okay to wrap fur on your foot but why do you want to cut the fur and only use the skin as the sole?" Night whispered to Edward.

"Daisy can't do this work because she is always impatient after a while. I always have to stop and find you to answer her questions." Night continued on while giggling.

"Our aim is the winters. We have to hurry up to get everyone dressed up and have a pair of shoes. You must not be sloppy. Shoes are very important to stop your feet from freezing. The inside of the shoes will have fur but the outside will be leather."

Edward picked up several cut soles and put them together. Then he squeezed their thickness by hand.

"Every four sole is to be stitched together with a needle. Get Qia's help if needed but she is already busy with making winter clothes."

Edward suddenly thought of something as he asked:

"Who is going to go and call Qia over for the favor. As Qia is busy, at least she could teach you both a little bit about sewing."

Daisy swayed towards Night's arm and said to her:

"Night can you go? You know that I've been bleeding and so it's not comfortable…."

As soon as Night left, Daisy grinned and jumped towards Edward.

Surprised, Edward caught Daisy by reflex but soon understood the situation.

"So this is why you wanted Night to go?" Edward asked with a sly look on his face.

Hearing Edward tease Daisy, she kissed him and shoved her tongue inside Edward's mouth. It lasted for a while before Edward pushed Daisy back. While trying to change the topic, Edward spoke:

"How is the paper I gave you?"

"Light, the paper you gave is very helpful. I've changed it several times and I've never been this clean!"

Edward was really worried about the way Daisy has started to jump around while being all excited to tell him about the success of the paper. He feared that if this went on for a little longer, she would really even pull out the current paper she had padded her underwear with and show it to Edward.

So he quickly made Daisy calm down.

"After you've finished changing it, find a place away from here and burry it. Just throwing it anywhere can be dangerous as this blood might attract predators."

"I knew that Light so don't worry. I just wanted to show you how clean everything was…" Daisy replied back with a naughty look on her face.

Edward didn't know either to laugh or cry.

There was a footstep outside the cave and Night returned along with Qia.

Edward greeted the two women before he got down to business.

"Stand still Night." Edward commanded.

He then pressed a bamboo plate onto a large piece of deerskin and cut two long strips about one centimeter and cut a strip of half a centimeter wide.

"Night lifts your feet."

Night obediently extended a foot from under the new leather skirt.
