Beast Kingdom

Trust

Violet's POV

"Thank you. Adding this will bait the fish to come to the hook. Once they bite on the hook, they will get caught on the hook and we can pull them up and catch them. I need something to hold the fish in though." I said, while trying to look around for a bowl or something.

Shoots! They wouldn't have a bowl or basket here. I will need to make one soon.

"Here." Jee points to something

He dug a huge hole in the ground. Big enough to maybe have 4-5 fish in there.

"Thanks." I said to him.

I start walking towards a spot where I see a lot of activity. I threw the vine in there and started to wait.

"What next?" he asks excitedly.

"We wait. It can usually take a few minutes to hours for us to catch a fish. So we must wait. Maybe we can make more of these?" I asked him.

"Yes, if you want, I can help with that and maybe we can do this at my house?" he asks shyly.

I am terrified of going back there since it is too high. He sees my response and looks back at me sadly.

"It's not that I don't want to go back there, it's more that I am scared of heights. Well, more the drop from the mountain. Maybe we can stay at one of the tree-houses?" I asked him

"We? Oh and the tree-house? I can have that arranged." he says to me and whistles

I see 3 other winged beasts come to him and they nod and leave.

"They have started the process, so don't worry, we will have our tree-house ready by dinner." he says back shyly.

System: "You have earned trust from your first potential husband. Here is your reward."

It's a weaved basket. I should have known. I know how to do this already. I am glad the system reminded me of simple things like this. This will help us bring the fish back. We can make more in the future.

"Can you watch this line for me while I go check something out?" I asked him.

"Do you want to leave somewhere?" he asks nervously.

"Don't worry, this place is safe, right? I won't go further out past the scouts. If you see the pole move, pull it up." I suggested to him.

"But what if you run into danger or don't know how to find me." he asks nervously.

This worry wart! I just need to leave for a few minutes and take out the basket so he isn't suspicious of where I got it from. The pole

I will have to figure out something about that too.

"If I don't come back in 10 minutes, come find me. I won't go far, trust me okay." I said to him and pat his head

I feel him snuggle into me and it feels comforting. I start walking to find a hiding place and he watches me till I'm no longer in sight. Phew! Now I can bring this out. It's big enough to bring maybe 10 fish back! I can't wait! I also lucked out since I found the trees and vines similar to this basket so I can come back here to make more. I walked back towards the little stream and realized we could actually make this into a pond for catching fish. It's not too small that we would close off the running water further and it's not so big that the nets would be lost.

"You're back! I was so worried." he says back to me, running up and giving me a huge hug.

Geez this guy. It's like he thought I would not come back at all. Seriously, maybe 5-7 minutes I was gone. I see him smiling. He must really start trusting me, since he looked scared I wouldn't come back.

"Look, I made something to help." I said to him.

He walks up to me and grabs the basket and looks at it observantly.

"This is a basket I made with the vines and trees from over there." I said to him, pointing to where I walked from.

"Do you maybe want to sleep in it? It doesn't look as comfortable as a nest." he says back to me awkwardly.

"No no. We can bring the fish back here and take it to the tree-house." I said back to him.

"Wow! I never would have thought of something like that. When we hunt, we bring things back with our feet or wings. This would help a lot. It would actually improve with time too. It takes us days to gather just from places not too far from us. With this item it will literally, save up on time." he says back excitingly

"Watch out the pole is moving!" I yelled to Jee

He grabs the pole but does not know what to do next.

"Let me show you and then after you can do the rest, I promise." I said to him apologetically

"Fine just this once, but I will do the rest next time." he says and sits and watches me

"Perfect!" I said back and got ready to reel in the fish.

I hold the pole and grip the vine and jerk it back. I start to rope the vine around the pole and in comes the fish splashing everything everywhere. What is this? The fish here have spikes all over them! No wonder they don't like eating this. They must not know how to eat the fish, since they are so spiky. I use the vine to take the fish closer to the basket. Jee grabs it from me and places the vine and fish into the basket. He adds another coconut piece and throws the line back in.

"I will do the rest. What do you need me to do next?" he says back to me

I need to teach him fire and maybe some type of oil. Ah, coconut oil will do.
