Crash landing

Page sixtytwo

Obi-Wan has brought some stones along and placed them in a circle in the middle of them.

It was to make sure, that the fire wouldn't spring over to the blankets.

A good part of the hole was filled with wood now.

Thick wood included really thick pieces, thanks to the storm, that hopefully would burn quite long.

Though, a good part was not a lot.

They wanted to fill half of the hole.

It was just, that Obi-Wan figured another problem.

"We can't only eat meat." he mentioned. "It doesn't consist of everything we need to survive. We need some plants."

A long sigh came from Rex.

"You are almost right"

Now the Jedi-Master raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" he asked.

Rex grinned a bit at the memory. "We need the plants. The commander is carnivorous. She doesn't have a problem with only eating meat."

Now it was Anakins turn to raise an eyebrow. "And you know that how...?"

"When we were on that moon. Silva or whatever it was called. Remember? Where we almost ran out of food?"

Anakin nodded. He still remembered the growling of his stomach.

"I attempted to give the commander her bit of the food, though she refused, grabbing one of those quick little animals while it was running past her and biting his throat through and eating it."

Yes, Anakin did remember those little creatures. Those things were so kriffin' fast and annoying, and... "weren't they poisonous?"

Rex nodded. "Exactly my reaction. Hers was to laugh about it and mention that apparently they weren't for Togrutas. Which led me to ask a bit more and her telling me that Togrutas are carnivores and I wouldn't have to bother saving rations for her."

The clone chuckled. "And to be honest, you wouldn't be talking back to her either if she just literally bit through the throat of a poisonous animal, with giant fangs you didn't know about, her entire face covered in the animals blood, having a creepy smile on her face."

Obi-Wan chuckled. "No, I surely wouldn't. I would send Anakin to do so."

Anakin gave Obi-Wan a death glare.

Then he realised something else.

"Wait? She has fangs?"

"Yes." came from both Obi-Wan and Rex. Both looked at each other, understanding each other quite well on that topic.

Anakin decided he didn't believe them and opened Ahsokas mouth to prove them wrong.

He was flinching back at the sight of the long sharp fang tooth though, that quite indeed were there.

Rex and Obi-Wan laughing about his face, quite well remembering their own surprise upon figuring that out.

"Alright. Alright." Anakin mumbled, closing the unconscious girls mouth again. "I am very glad not to be her prey. The animals here are going to have a problem as soon as she's back on her feet."

Rex still chuckled about that.

"Well the three off us still have a problem" Obi-Wan brought them back to the subject. "And as we're already talking about Ahsoka. The medical supplies are blown away. Are there still some down the ravine?"

Anakin nodded. "Quite a few. And the wind should have blown the way free of any burned fuel."

"Good." The older one seemed quite relieved now.

"Then here's the plan. Anakin, you go get replacement for the med supplies. Rex, if I remember right, Ahsoka has taught you about plants. So at day, while there is light to see, you're going to get plants and I'll watch out for Ahsoka. At night, when it's to dark to tell plants apart, I'll go and collect the rest off wood we need, while you watch Ahsoka."

The Captain nodded. "Sounds good." he looked to Anakin, who gave a nod to. Though not seeming to glad about not being able to watch over Ahsoka.
