So break yourself against my stones

Tugging and twisting the arrow out of the rabbit’s eye socket, Axelle heard another voice. She stood up from her crouching position with the bloody arrow and realized it was Mido. ”Hello, Mido. What brings you out here today?” Nothing like asking the obvious, probably about the same thing she was doing. Her eyes left him, and she scooped the rabbit’s bloody body up in her other hand. Her crossbow was slung on her back, and she motioned Mido to follow her.

She walked through the forest, and out into a clearing where she knew there was an old fire already set up. She had a lighter tucked away into a pocket that was equipped to her crossbow strap. She lit it and through it into the fire pit. The fire ignited in the matter of seconds, creating a large pit fit for cooking. Axelle pulled a small hunting knife from a strap on her ankle and began cutting the skin from the rabbit’s limp body. She looked up at Mido while she did this, eyeing the bow he had with him. ”Practicing with your bow?” She motioned him to let her see it better, and then went back to skinning. ”Looks like a good one. Where’d you find it?” She found hers in a weapons shop, but others were bound to be in houses around and were just as good.

When most of the tough fur and skin was shaved away, she started cutting the actual meat off the carcass, leaving the insides encased in the bones. She wasn’t a big organ eater. Axelle looked up at Mido briefly and motioned him to sit down next to her, a few feet away from the fire. She handed him an arrow. ”To cook your meat.” And then she stuck a slab of meat onto the arrow. She finished cutting her piece of meat off of the rabbit and stuck it on her already bloody arrow. She placed the carcass away from them. It had only fur on the head, along with the ears, and the hind feet. The meat from the torso was skinned away and now neatly placed on their arrows. She would bury the body later.

She held her arrow over the fire to let the meat cook. ”I hope you were hungry,” she said with a smile realizing she just forced food on him. It wasn’t a lot of food, just a little snack. She would need about five whole rabbits to satisfy an empty stomach – but since her stomach wasn’t that empty, she would share her snack with Mido.
