Grand Feast

Jay was led to Grundel’s hut, and entered this time.

It was about as pathetic as Jay expected. He had a wood bed covered with some long grass and fibers, with the addition of a table which was just made from more sticks.

“Ah, Jay. Lovely. I trust your information gathering went well?” he smiled.

“Oh yes. I know everything I need, and then some. I’m completely prepared to slay the knights tomorrow.” Jay said in an honest voice, lying to his face.

He wanted the elder to think he was successful in order to gauge his reaction.

Even since Jay began to feel suspicious, he also had Red come back closer to the village, scouting the forest and looking for any potential messengers going to warn the knights about his presence.

He could send more of the skeletons to scout the knight territory for him tomorrow after he began his journey, but for now he wanted them with him for his protection - packed up inside his gauntlet as living blueprints.

“Ah, I see… Good.” he nodded innocently with a warm smile.

As far as Jay could tell, Grundel was not surprised, but instead was truly, genuinely glad.

Perhaps the leader isn’t working with them?

“Well Jay, I have decided to thank you for deciding to save us, so I have a feast for you so we can talk.”

“Oh?” Jay looked around, confused, but then Grundel pointed to some clay bowls on the table and pushed one towards Jay.

Jay didn’t even realize there was food in them as the wooden hut was quite dark inside and because there was hardly anything in the bowls.

The ‘feast’ was a few morsels of sweet meat with a purple, bitter sauce, and some green crunchy leaves on the side.

Served in a small clay bowl, it was hardly enough to even count as a snack.

Jay simply thought it was an ornament of some sort.

Jay glanced at the leader’s bowl, and it had about half as much food as Jay in it, and didn’t even have any pieces of meat.

It seemed that despite being hardly a snack in Jay’s eyes, these small pieces of meat were dearly and costly to the village elder, and he was eyeing Jay’s bowl with a sense of desperation.

Grundel was clearly dissatisfied with his small bowl of crunchy leaves, but he knew you don’t make friends with salad.

Jay felt sorry for the man who seemed nice enough, so he offered him some pieces from his own plate.

“Oh, ah, no thanks. It was made for you, to honor you sir. It would be an insult if you didn’t accept it.” He quickly refused.

“Well then… how about this?” Jay smiled as he pulled out a piece of cooked meat from behind his back.

It was one of the pieces that Blue cooked.

“Then you will accept my gift too. I’m sorry it’s not seasoned.” Jay added.

Grundel’s eyes bulged as he saw the meat in Jay’s hand.

“Wh-what.. Where did you get that?”

“Same way as everyone else, hunting.” Jay shrugged and laid it on Grundel’s plate.
