Dubi threw away the chunk of meat in his hand and hugged his mate. "You all stay home. I'm going out hunting, just grabbing a few prey and I'll be right back."
The female's eyes brightened and she unconsciously swallowed, nodding eagerly. "Mmm, we'll wait for you at home. Come back quickly."
Dubi smiled, nodded, and turned to dash out of the cave.
"Otto! Otto! Are you there?" An Orc's voice, filled with surprise, sounded outside the cave. Otto, who had been lying in his nesting grasses, walked out upon hearing it.
Seeing the joyful face of the Orc, Otto expressed his astonishment, "What's the matter? Is there some good news? You seem so happy."
The Orc huffed for breath twice. "Dubi has come back, and I was on guard when he returned. Do you want to go back and see him?"
Otto's face, upon hearing this, filled with joy and excitement. "He actually came back? Is he all right?"
