You'd better keep her tied.Why? A yawn stretched Hunter's dark face.Because she's looking skittish.She's naked. Sheathing his knife, Hunter flopped on his back and shaded his eyes with one arm. She won't run. Not without clothes. I've never seen such a bashful female.The truss up their females in so many clothes, it would take a whole sleep just to undress one. Then they have them wear breeches under the lot. How do they manage to have so many children? I'd be so tired by the time I found skin, I'd never get anything else done.You'd think of something, Hunter said with a chuckle.
In the excerpt, Hunter and another character discuss a naked female who appears nervous and skittish. Despite the suggestion to keep her restrained, Hunter reasons she is unlikely to flee due to her lack of clothing. This reflects not only on the woman's state but also on cultural differences regarding modesty and the practicality of clothing in their societies.
Hunter humorously contrasts her bare state with the elaborate dress of women in their culture, noting the complexity and effort required to undress someone who is heavily clothed. This playful commentary highlights the absurdity of their customs and underscores Hunter's perception of female vulnerability, while also revealing his lighthearted nature.
