Laviel woke up. She was on some type of blanket. Around her, trees towered above. She sat up and saw Clovis. He was looking at her with concern. "Finally you wake up" He said. Laviel scratched her head.
"What happened?" She asked. Clovis looked bothered.
"The man had an interest on you, so we fought him" he explained.
"Why was I asleep?"
"You were knocked out" Clovis answered "You shouldn't fight close quarters" Clovis teased.
"Shut up" Laviel said. Above her, the moon appeared.
"Did we get the directions?"
"Nope" Clovis answered. "Though we did get the fancy blanket you're sitting on"
"Say, why do you bring your bow with you all the time?" Clovis asked.
"They're valuable to me. Plus you never know when danger will strike-"
Then, a bunny dug up from the ground. Laviel shot it between the eyes.
"And when dinner will be ready" Laviel finished. Laviel took it by the ears, and took up her pocket knife.
"What are you gonna-"
Laviel skinned the rabbit, smiling. "Making it free from bacteria"
While she was skinning it, Clovis was grosses out. He tried looking away, but the smell filled the air. Clovis was used to fine dining. Though he assumed that Laviel was used to this, especially since she hunted almost all her life. Then she took a pile of sticks and plopped them on the middle. She placed two long sticks on the side and another on top of each other, making a type of bridge. Then she impaled the rabbit on the stick and hung it. She rubbed two large sticks together which stared a fire. She slowly turned the rabbit around, cooking all the parts evenly. After a while, the rotten smell of raw meat, turned into the nice smell of perfectly cooked meat. She took the rabbit and placed it on the grass.
"Eat" She said.
Laviel noticed that Clovis hesitated.
"C'mon you chicken" Laviel Teased "It eat like a man"
Hesitantly, he took the rabbit and bit from it. Surprisingly, he smiled. "This tastes good!" He complemented "You should cook for a living". Laviel rolled her eyes, though she was flattered. They sat on the warm fire for a while, eating their newly caught rabbit meat.
