Niko fixed her makeshift bedding in he cave silently. She had been reckless and had gotten close to the orphanage. She had been seen. She cursed herself mentally before she walked to the back of the cave and around one of the bends. She made a small campfire and skewered some meat hanging it above the fire to cook.

She walked back out towards the entrance again and watched the rain fall. A chill ran up her spine as she shivered a bit. She stared at the rain quietly forcing herself to ignore the cold around her. Her eyes shifted from the rain to the trees in front of the cave. If she had been wiser she could have made traps while it was dry.

Niko once again cursed herself mentally for not having prepared well enough for the storm. She hesitated before she walked back to the fire and held her hands out rubbing them together to warm them. She looked to her dwindling pile of fire wood and frowned. She knew that she had missed her chance to collect more dry wood but perhaps she could dry out wood she brought in with the fire

She went back to the entrance and picked up a cape and hood made of wolf skin, and put it on. She hesitated and grabbed her scythe before she walked out. Niko picked up sticks as she passed them making mental note of the lower branches in case she needed a quick hiding spot. She hung her scythe on her back and picked up larger sticks with her free hand cradling the kindling with her arm.

Niko silently made her way back to the cave with her bundle of sticks and twigs she laid them out near the wall by the fire as she warmed her hands once more. Another shiver ran up her spine and a quite shutter escaped from her lips. She pulled the pelt tighter to her body before she laid next to the fire watching her food as it cooked.
