Repaying Debt [2]

Terra took a step inside, her presence seeming to light up the room in a different way. Her blue eyes scanned the space before they landed on the hammock.

"It's been a long time since I visited your home. Do you still use this thing?" she asked, a playful tone in her voice. "How do you even fit in that?"

Rufus chuckled, a low rumbling sound coming from his stomach. "It's stronger than it looks," he said. "And it's surprisingly comfortable. You'd be amazed what one can grow used to when they live in the wild."

After that short exchange, Rufus didn't stay there for long and led Terra and Nox into another room.

The walls in this room were made of blackened metal, giving off a faint metallic smell. Nox's gaze scanned around, and he saw countless crude irons hung all around. There were hammers, tongs, and other forging instruments. There were also several tables with beast cores, metal plates, and sturdy durable bones that once belonged to powerful beasts.
