The sun was beginning to set beyond the skyline, the fire red orb blazing and blurring the edges of the trees and buildings. There was plenty of old wood, rotted and dry in the train station. He broke apart some of the wood seats with ease and piled them neatly together on the edge of the cement platform. The paint had long worn off from the cement and there was nothing flammable on the rails. Gale had piled the wood on it, and set it on fire with a box of matches he had bartered for in Freetown. The wood, mixed with very dry paper he found hanging on the walls and on the floor of the office. Most of it was too dry to rot so the flame happily licked at the paper and soon engulfed the wood.
The golden pup sat a ways away, watching her 'father' set up their evening meal. Her belly growled and the man continued to set up their meal. He had managed to kill a boar armed with a spear he had crafted. Hunting wild boar was much like killing it in the arena and it would make a filling meal for a growing pup and a broad and muscled man. He had cleaned some piping and made large cuts in the meat. With the piping he managed to rig up a platform to cook the cuts of boar. They would be only lightly seared, for some level of flavor and just in case. He was not used to Western meat, though the boar had acted the same as the ones in Rome had.
Yvette lay on her father's lion pelt cloak, head on the the soft material as she watched the fire spit as water and fat dripped from the meat he had managed to get them two. It had been a while since she had last eaten and her mouth salivated at the sight. Gale eyed the meat then sat back beside the pup, who nudged her head against his thigh with a high pitched sigh.
