Axelle smiled as Alder sat closer to her, and she took the meat he offered her without hesitation. She took a bite out of it while nodding to his story about his mom. The flavor was so tasty that when it was time to take another bite, she didn’t waste any time. ”Juniper is a nice name for a girl.” He could name his daughter that when and if he were to have one in the future, if he hasn’t already. ”Do you have kids?” She wasn’t sure if she knew this about him already or not.
Sometimes she wished she had kids. Maybe it was just so there were more Napiers around, or maybe it was because no man's love would ever replace how one would love their family - and especially their offspring (or was supposed to). She knew a lot about how parents could just ignore their duties and totally disregard their love all together. One day she would start her own family, and she would be truly happy.
She took more of the jerky from him and hungrily took another bite out of her serving. She liked it. It was dry, but yet it held the same flavor as if it were normal slabs of meat just cut off the bone and cooked to aptness. She smiled about the comment about his horse, but had nothing else to say about it. ”How do you make this stuff? Like.. dry it out just enough to perfection?” She couldn’t imagine how it was done, and she would like to know how to do it just in case she would ever be stranded somewhere. Axelle took another bite, finishing her second piece. She might have been hungrier than she originally thought - of course, with help from a delicious-tasting food.
