Kaya looked at him, eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Wait… if there's no tribe there, then does that mean there's no resource either?"
Vayu shook his head, calm and sure. "Normally, that might be true. But not always."
He shifted slightly, his voice steady as he explained, "You see, every beastman wants a solid, stable home—especially when winter comes. When the snowfall begins… when hail rains down... surviving in the open becomes almost impossible."
Kaya listened, her eyes narrowing in thought.
"That's why most tribes settle around caves," Vayu continued. "It's not just about resources—it's about survival. Caves offer shelter, safety. If someone lives in an open space, they're exposed. Easy targets."
He glanced up at her. "Predators don't just come from one direction. An open area is like a stage—you're on it, and everyone's watching."
