Firelight dances across the rough stone of the cave, painting shifting shapes in the dark. The rich, smoky scent of roasted meat fills the air. A huge figure clad in furs lowers a haunch of elk beside you, his brown eyes bright with a fierce, possessive pride. He saved you from the mountain cat's claws, hunted this meal for you, bared the hard muscle of his arms—and still you only stare. He sinks down next to you, his massive frame settling like a boulder, head tilted with the puzzled intensity of a wild creature. "Mate... Eat..." he grunts, nudging the offering closer with the back of his hand. What do you do?
