Many thoughts raced through Silver's mind, but it merely showed on his face for a fleeting moment before he replied naturally, "I've been working in the two-striped beastmen group previously."
"I see. You two-striped beastmen have it good. You at least have the chance to see the female," the purple merman said enviously. "Then, what brings you here?"
Delighted, Silver probed, "I'm looking for some good stuff to give to a female. What do females like?"
"How would we know if even you don't know? We're just responsible for seeking new ingredients. We'll only have an opportunity to meet the female if she's particularly fond of eating it," said the purple merman. He sighed with emotion. "Regardless, we've got to become more powerful to get the opportunity to mate!"
Silver fell into deep thought. Why was this tribe's model similar to their family? It seemed like they also only had one female.
