Razor just grunted at her master detective skills when she commented his state of blindness. He got that reaction too much to let it phase him much. He just continued about his work as he felt her eyes on him...odds are this was the first time she ever saw a Ramen in person. The man could only wonder what was going through her mind as he gutted the hog. It was almost complete, he was sure that he had most of it gutted out and tossed back into the wilds for whatever scavenger to come by and pick up the entrails and organs. Nasty business, preparing meat...but at least the rewards were well worth it.<br/><br/>And then around that time he heard her retaliate at the pet name he gave her and chuckled. It wasn't a pleasant sound, filled with raspy noises and his hissed demeanor of speech...and it also caused his ribs and chest to violently moved as he laughed. But maybe it could soothe her in knowing that this 'monster' could laugh. He shook his head as he responded, after hearing the clang of the knife on the rock beside him,"Whatever you say, princess...I mean, Eponine...Though you'd like such a high and mighty, regal name. Guess I'm mistaken."<br/><br/>He went to reach for the knife, but then remembered how bloody his hand was. Making a low growl of displeasure and annoyance, he lowered his hand to rub it against the rock...being careful enough not to cut his hand on the surface, but firm enough to wipe as much blood as he could off of his claw before going back to picking up the knife, though he carefully felt around it to try and find the handle. When he did, he picked it up and quickly finished up in gutting the boar,"I will admit...didn't expect you, of all people, to carry around a knife...shows me for assuming things. Thanks, I seem to have misplaced mine somewhere..."<br/><br/>The Ramen had finished gutting the hog, tossing out the last of the organs, and wiped off as much blood as he could before skinning a few bits of the hog that he wouldn't eat, as well as carefully took out a few of the bones. He had to make sure that this boar was perfect to where it could hold itself up for roasting, but easy enough to take apart and eat after cooking. He knew it was going to be well worth it in the end, even though he didn't have any spices or herbs to enhance the meat...it was gonna be good enough once cooked.<br/><br/>But, as he was finishing up, he heard her explaining a few things about the village and frowned a bit...it was a bit depressing to hear. He sighed as he put down the freshly prepped hog and the clean knife. He stood up to stretch a bit and said,"Look, princess...don't worry too much, alright? If we survived, odds are there are others that did too. I'm sure they'll be there tomorrow, too, when the raiders are gone. No one could be so organized as to completely wipe out an entire village, right? I mean, look at us."<i>Unless they were paid well and highly trained...possibly hired by some powerful being that they don't want to piss off with a failed missions...</i><br/><br/>He kept that last thought to himself as he continued,"Now...we're both hungry...and tired. Let's eat and then go to sleep, okay? We'll check out the damage tomorrow and see what we can do then." The Ramen went back to the boar and picked up the carcass, moving over to where he could smell the stew, more than likely where the hot stone was, and put it to the side, waiting for his turn to cook his meal.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
