Word Count → 316 :: Prompt: Gather some firewood so that the clan is well stocked for fall and winter. Pine in particular burns hot and fast and is great for starting fires, but hardwood such as oak and walnut burns longer. Firewood is stored in the mansion.
Willam was back out in the forest again. She had to say that she really enjoyed the wooded area the best. It was where she did most of her training. But that wasn't the reason for her to be out there now. She had started out with the thought to get lengths of wood to replaces those in the travois that she had crafted. She wanted to replace the ones that had started to crack before they actually ended up breaking while she had a load that was being carried back. She'd rather take preventive measures rather than getting stranded.
The large female picked up fallen branches that had broken off from the tree in order to test their length against Châtiment. She was trying to find ones that would be long enough to work with, even if she had to shorten them some. It would be so much easier to shorten the pieces that were too long than trying to lengthen those that would prove to be too short. Or such was her opinion on the matter at least. After all she knew how to break them down but had no idea how to build them up to lengthen them.
The coyote woman had started to craft a pile of wood, setting aside the pieces that wouldn't work. It was becoming quite the task to find those branches that would be of perfect length to actually work. She seemed more apt to find those that were too short and had started to stack them up just so she would know what lengths of wood she had already tried out. Sadly that pile was growing much quicker than the empty space that she had cleared for the pieces that she would be able to use. It was getting to where Willam wondered if there was even something suitable to be found already laying upon the ground.
