Zayne asked, “Weren't you sleeping?"

He hadn't noticed when Nyx had snuck into the bamboo basket. The little rabbit kicked her legs proudly. “I was pretending to sleep."

"Be careful, don't fall." Zayne quickly cupped her in his hands. He didn't know what was worth seeing by the river, but he followed Nyx's instructions and walked over with her.

The river was close to the tribe, and the edible wild vegetables and fruits nearby had long been picked clean. Only bushes, rocks, and dirt remained.

The dirt and rocks looked ordinary, but Nyx's eyes lit up. "Zayne, dig up some soil. We're going to make pottery."

"Make pottery?" Zayne looked puzzled.

Although he didn't understand what Nyx was talking about, he obeyed, crouching down to grab a handful of mud and shaping it into a pot. He then built a fire and placed the pot inside.

The flames licked up, sending waves of heat into the air. Zayne carefully held the little rabbit in his arms and moved further

away.

"Let's try something else next time. Playing with fire is a bit dangerous,” he rubbed Nyx's furry paws and whispered.

Playing with mud was fine, but playing with fire was different. It was okay with him around, but if she ever played with fire alone and got hurt, it would be bad.

"I'm not playing." Nyx stared intently at the fire, calculating the time. "It's about ready. Let's pull it out and check."

This was her first time actually making pottery. She only had theoretical knowledge, no practical experience, so she wasn't sure if it would work.

Perhaps the heavens favored her. When the simple, earthy pot appeared intact before her eyes, Nyx happily jumped onto her mate's head. "It worked."

Zayne looked shocked. Forgetting to pull the little rabbit, who was bouncing around on his head, he quickly stepped forward.
