"Easy for you to say." Des said. "I've only been to the edge of Hoku and to the ocean to the north. That was cold enough for me."

Hiko laughed. I'm sure Esse won't let us freeze.

"Hey what am I chopped liver?" Kento asked, pretending to be offended. He earned a simple cuff on the arm from Esse. "No, now you're pounded liver. Stop complaining Kento! I'm sure Des and Hiko believe you can help us survive as well."

"Well, I don't know, this is kento we're talking about" Des said jokingly. " If it's Kento we count on then we're screwed."
Kaerisa gave a small laugh. I'd join in but I don't know you all that well to make fun of you. She said.

Kento stuck out his tongue. "You're more likely to get frostbite listening to Esse than me. She spends all her time playing with weapons and talking to Zan. As far as anything goes Zandrai knows a lot about ice weapons but little about much else."
That had stung. Esse winced. "Hey Kento! You're one to talk!"
"Well it's not a lie, Essetai. I admit I'm not smart if that can avoid an argument."
She just huffed as a response then looked to Kaerisa. "Kento can be teased for most things."

"Well Kaerisa, do we listen to the love struck weapons girl or the famed and self proclaimed half wit?" Des asked jokingly.
I don't know, sounds like were already frozen to death if you ask me She said with a mischievious grin.

Hiko laughed, able to enjoy the light hearted moment. I think you're right. Maybe we should go and find ourselves a different guide.

Esse giggled and pretty soon even she and Kento were laughing at the joke even though they happened to be he subject of it. "Okay well if you all would feel safer, when we get to Hoku there should be some polar bears around. Of course this means Aurorans out on a hunting party so we might still catch somebody who can guide us. Sound fair?" she asked.

" Wait, hunting party for polar bears?" Des asked confusingly. " I thought you guys liked polar bears."

"No!" Kento interjected, horrified he'd even consider them hunting the polar bears. Esse blinked. "We're friends with the bears. I meant if we find some bears, their partners will be nearby. We take the bears out with us when we go hunting! I didn't mean we hunted the bears."

Hiko smiled at there sudden defensiveness. You can't blame him. He has been brought up differently

"Hey, the way you said it it looked like the polar bears were on the bad end of the deal." Des said. " But either way, if we find other Aurorans why not go with them back to Thunderblizzard?"
"Why not hunt polar bears?" Kaerisa asked. "They are meat and you could overpower one if you wished." She crawled down to Des's pocket and took out a fruit and began to naw on it.

Esse let out a noise that nearly sounded like a snort, her eyes flared to a bright passionately angry red. "We don't hunt them because they're our friends. Aurorans have always had a special connection to the bears in Thunderblizzard. They are to the point of being considered almost sacred unspokenly. We simply respect this unwritten rule."
"Plus," Kento added, "if you kill a bear don't be surprised if you have the village to answer to because of it. Bears are not to be hunted. Ever."

Hiko looked up. You don't kill animals. Full Stop. Why should you? There is plenty of grass and vegetation.

Des held his hand up to Kaerisa. ' Stop there, if they don't hunt the bears then they don't." He said. " We should respect that. But do you guys eat meat at all?"
Kaerisa bit Des's hand quickly, to which he winced and withdrew. I never said I didn't respect it. I just wanted to know the reasoning behind it.
