“That can be arranged. Hopefully soon.” Eric muttered as he considered the rest of the rant thrown his way. Even if he couldn’t leave just yet, there was plenty of other things he could do that might be enough to motivate this asshole into helping him. At least a little bit.
“But first, I need enough gold to transform back into a form that won’t get me attacked the moment I go into a human town. And enough gold to transform back, too. I don’t like the idea of being stuck like that. I can help you with supplies. That’s easy. I can hunt for meat and sniff out fruits. I can even skin the hides if you need more furs. On the big stuff, at least, it’s getting too hard to properly skin small things anymore.” As he spoke, he started to get excited at the idea of helping, visibly pleased to be explaining all the things he knew how to do and was good at. For the first time in what felt like weeks, he was somewhat in more comfortable ground. Was it weird that he sort of missed his chores from back home? He really missed doing chores.
“If you can help me find a town or - shit, probably not a city. Some place that might have enough gold for that, I can help you get what you need to survive the winter. I’m sure I can find something to… to exchange for gold?” Now this was the stumbling block. The sticking point. The part where he had no fucking clue what he was going to do. He knew he needed the gold, but how to get it without stealing it? How much some gold even worth? It was just some shiny metal, but the thief spoke about it as if it was super important to humans, even if it was also sort of useless. He didn’t even know how his family had gotten the gold for his hatchday! Well. Could he trade deer for it??? How many deer would it take for him to have enough to transform???
All questions, no answers. And only one very unpleasant person to go to for advice, who didn’t want anything to do with him. Best not to panic about it and just. Move forward.
