"Okay," Nabi said, trying to keep the nervousness in her voice hidden. She didn't want him to know that she was worried now. She wanted to retain the illusion that she was filled with nothing but excitement and no second thoughts. She worried that if he knew otherwise, he might change his mind about allowing her to accompany him. When they arrived at his hut, she accepted the knife from him and then went over to the tree to do a few quick practice stabs as she was instructed to. She was starting to feel better already now that she at least had a weapon to defend herself with.

As much as it was refreshing for her to be here with him, she really should be returning to her hut to finish with her work for the day. There was still plenty that needed to be done. "I do have to be going," Gabi told him as she stood up and planted her hands on her hips. "But when you're finished with your work, you should come back to my hut and I'll make you something to eat to repay you for the shovel. If you want anyway."
