"Eve!" Lue said firmly. "Let's talk about that later."

Jack not knowing what is going on between them understood the atmosphere and changed the topic, "Let's go back, we need to carry that pig too right? It's almost dark too."

Beric shook his head, "Too heavy!"

He was right, they probably couldn't carry that heavy thing by themselves.
