“So you guys just have food ready for you?” Rogtuk asked, scratching his head at the dinner buffet before him.

“Yup!” Ginger said gleefully, taking a pair of tongs and moving a biscuit onto her plate. 

“And we have farms so we don’t need to hunt down a pig to maybe kill it and get dinner.” Seifer added, with a small hint of annoyance on his face. Rogtuk was beginning to think that the man either found everything around him an annoyance, or that was just his face. 

“Pig?” Rogtuk quirked a brow.

“You know? Like yo-” Seifer was cut off by Ginger shoving him in the gut with his elbow. She gave him a scolding look.

“You might know it as a boar?” Ginger’s expression softened as she addressed the orc. “Pigs are what we call the boar we domesticated.”

Rogtuk nodded, but still felt mildly confused. Why did it need a different name? Regardless, he got a plate ready and started shuffling precooked meats, breads, and vegetables on. Azkol whined from the table that he was forced to sit at and Rogtuk put a few strips of ‘bacon’ on to give to his wolf.
