Chapter 241: Opposite
It had been a few days since Sunnie had given birth to the twin cubs. She had gotten all the rest she needed and was replenishing her strength.
That morning, Sunnie and the other women sat down together weaving pieces of clothing. They were trying to make some clothing for the little ones in the tribe, and the women from the minor tribe had joined them as well.
It was a scene full of women who were just chatting, laughing, and having fun. And amidst them was Eris.
The men were busy with work. They were working on establishing more houses around the tribe while adjusting the area to blend it into a better-looking space for a tribe.
While they worked, Eris was sitting with the women, also weaving some clothing. He was busy with his work, staring through the clothing he was making while also staring at Sunnie’s own for reference.
He had said he wasn’t going to join any work. He wanted to join the women in this work because he wanted to make some clothing for the twins himself. "I’ll make sure they wear the work of art I made myself!" He assured, insisting that he’d learn.
And so he sat down with Sunnie and the rest, working for hours.
"Is this it?" Eris showed Sunnie one which he had made as Sunnie stared at it for a while. Elza tilted her head to get a better look but didn’t seem to understand what he was making.
"Is that some bird’s net?" Elza asked as the women around burst into laughter.
Sunnie smiled as she shook her head, saying, "Don’t worry, keep going. He’ll get there."
Eris sighed. "I’ve been going for hours now and still nothing. This is way harder than I thought." He sighed.
Sunnie smiled at him. "So are you just giving up like that, or...?"
He bit his lower lip as he shook his head. "Never!" And so he continued work while the women stared at him with smiles while shaking their heads.
While they worked, they also looked ahead at the men who were working. Sunnie’s beast husbands were at the forefront, giving instructions on the work being executed.
Sunnie couldn’t help but smile as she watched them work, leading the team on what to do while also helping them work. It was a cohesive effort that simply made her smile. She couldn’t believe they had come this far—far enough for her beast husbands to cooperate willingly and carry out the work themselves.
She could remember the moment when she had to work through her system task to get them to even work or bribe them for it. Now they did it willingly.
The chipmunks, on the other hand, were working on the stored food. They were reinforcing preservation methods while selecting the batch of foodstuff that would be used for cooking in the upcoming days.
While the women worked, they caught sight of a chaotic scene ahead as they all stared up. It was the scene of the little girl, Luna, running around.
The tiny girl had already learned how to walk in just a few days. And she was running around the place actively while Little Black and Ronan ran after her.
"Hey! Come back! You can’t take that!" Little Black ran after the girl with Ronan behind them. But the little girl was too fast that they couldn’t even catch up at all.
The women watched the scene, laughing. They couldn’t believe the little girl was already this fast.
"She can already walk and is running so fast? I think that’s the fastest so far," Elza said with a smile as the others nodded in agreement.
"True. And she’s already making a whole lot of mess in just a few days," another woman said. "I can’t believe little Luna already knows her way into the forest that she even caught and killed several little animals herself."
The women shook their heads. "Oh, she really is something. So active and playful," they laughed.
"Oh, this is beyond playful. The little girl might as well be a warrior at this point," another teased as they smiled, staring at Luna who was still running around.
The little girl had snatched Little Black’s precious stone from where he had hidden it. Little Black didn’t even know how she had found it. And she had taken it and was running around with it.
"Get that back! You ruined the last one I hid, and now this! Oh no!" Little Black was losing it while he ran after her. But Luna’s legs were on fire as she ran.
Sunnie shook her head with a smile as she watched them run. Ronan was simply running after them from behind without even a reason.
The women shook their heads as they turned and stared at the twin brother there. Lune was sitting down on the floor there close to the women.
He was sitting there quietly without even saying anything at all. He was playing with some wooden carvings they had made for him as a gift.
They stared at the little boy for a while with smiles on their faces. Unlike his sister, who was running around, loud and chaotic in every way possible, he was calm and quiet. This boy was never trouble, always sitting down and minding his business. He was the complete opposite of Luna, and he hadn’t even started walking yet while his sister was already running.
"What a quiet young one," one of the women smiled. "He plays an interesting contrast to his sister."
Sunnie smiled as she brushed her hands through his hair. Eris proudly said, "That’s my little boy... quiet."
"I think he’s the opposite of you, then," Elza said as the others burst into laughter.
"I’m also quiet, too," Eris insisted as they all shook their heads with smiles.
They continued staring at the bustling scene before them of Little Black running after the little one until it ended with the little one accidentally throwing the precious stone into a hole.
