*strokes the doe's face softly whispering to it soothingly* I hate doing this..I always do..but I am here to give you honor..and a separate peace... I am here to deliver you to the spirits...and to provide nourishment for the living... I want you to know that your sacrifice shall not be in vane...and that it will be sacred.....farewell my friend..... *cuts off the portion of venison I need and I place it in a clean cloth wrapping it up..and I begin digging a big hole*

:: Tiki could hear the strains of her voice and bowed his head in a moment of silence... it was good that she understood the sanctity of life, he had been momentarily edgy. In the mean time, he hadn't been paying attention, and a wolf seemed to have come out of the woods nearby. He looked up at it and let out a few short barks, but it growled and circled closer. Apparently this was their territory. Three more wolves emerged, surrounding the alpha male, and Tiki could hear another two behind him. He sighed and reluctantly snatched the sausage from the basket, flinging it at the leader of the pack. The others jumped on him, and soon they were fighting for the food. Tiki just laughed and gave one a swift kick sending them all down the incline into the stream. He barked back at them, now frustrated, and went back to his seat to wait for Miss Avariel. ::

*burries the carcas of the doe who gave up her life... and I say small prayer over he and place a small purple shall over the mound... I get up on my feet..with bow in one hand and meat in the other and I start off for the camp and I emerge from the dark woods*

:: Tiki nodded to the venison and smiled, tilting his head to indicate he heard the small prayer and approved. Even to his wilderness side she seemed to be an extraordinarily fit mate... amazing huntress (even he hadn't heard her) and athletic, and the curves of her body instinctually indicated that she was capable and adept at both obtaining food and bearing offspring. This wasn't so much a thought as a vague awareness, but it was understood none the less. Was she trying to impress him? It was working. ::
"It's cold this night, best to stay close to the fire," he commented, saying nothing of his own misadventure.

*looks at him puzzled as if reading his thoughts and I place a hand on my hip but then shake my head and shrug it off and I walk over to the fire uncovering the venison and I thoroughly wash it... I then slice it into 1 inch chunks and I add it over into the pot...seaonsing it with salt and pepper.... and then I go and wash my hands again* What's on your mind? * my eyes looking at him intensively*

:: Tiki looked at her plainly and honestly. ::
"I don't know. It just seems so strange that I met you on a road by the springs in the middle of the night... ( :: he gestures up at the stars :: ) I think it must have been written or it wouldn't have happened..."

Well... I believe in fate..as in destiny too..some things are already predestined and written in stone... while other things.. are meant as surprise. It was what makes life so interesting. * stirs the venison and adds flour and the broth becomes a rue..and I add the veggies next*

:: Tiki watched her stir with his big eyes. ::
"That's an interesting philosophy.... I always just figured that... whatever happens happens, and if it was meant to be it would occur...."

"Victory! They've stopped. I give it 2 minutes then, before I catch up to them." * Pulls some fruit off a nearby tree and begins to munch on it, as he bounds through the trees. "Wow. That's some good fruit. I've never had anything like it before."

*Exactly 2 minutes later, Trent is hanging, upside-down, from a tree, directly above Tiki* "Man, you are hard to track down. So, did I miss anything interesting?" *Flips himself upright on the branch, which he silently deemed to himsself to be his next sleeping spot.*

:: Tiki looked from Avariel to Trent and back, hoping they would get along. ::
"Avariel, this is Candle, and Candle, this is Avariel," he introduced.

"It's a pleasure, Miss Avariel. So besides running away from me. What have you two been up to? Hm?

:: Tiki looked at Avariel and decided to answer the question for Trent. ::
"Candle lost something we can't see, deep inside his memory," Tiki said. He wasn't sure how he knew this, but he did.... probably a scent-based conclusion.
