Was that a requirement in other places? While the feline pulled his own weight and helped when and where he could, he had never been under the assumption that he’d be kicked out if he didn’t contribute.
”Oh, no, sir; no payment required!” Selby said quickly. ”You’re free to set all the traps you want, but I don’t put much faith into the quality of prey around here. Radiation’s tricky, you can never be sure... Anyway, welcome aboard. It’s a pleasure to have you.”
As he spoke, his thoughts trickled back to the gator he had killed not that long ago. Had that one been sentient? Had he killed something innocent? No, no. he reassured himself. I tried to scare it off first. It would have taken my leg off if I had let it. Still, a hint of uneasiness prickled at his spine.
