Zeke stared at the oil stain on the beast hide clothing, his face turning visibly green.
Luna Sutton noticed the azure glow emanating from his fingertips and quickly grabbed his wrist, comforting him: "Don't worry, just change into a different outfit later, don't mind the cubs. I've saved some deer meat for you."
The azure glow at Zeke's fingertips suddenly dissipated, replaced by the warm, soft sensation on his wrist.
He lowered his gaze to look at Luna's hand that covered his own. Her slender, fair fingers starkly contrasted his well-defined joints.
His emerald eyes darkened briefly, his Adam's apple moved, and he eventually responded with a low "Hmm."
In the light of the fire, Luna suddenly noticed a suspicious blush at the tip of his ear.
"By the way, Zeke, why did you return first? Is the matter at The Salt Lake already settled?"
She let go of his hand and turned to serve the deer meat.
