As he came into campp he noticed clover was asleep and decided not to bother her. H etook the deer over to the otherside of the camp and behind a bush so it would be out of er view as he cleaned it and prepared it to eat. Kamots hovered around him staring longinly at the fresh meat. To appease him and thank him for the help Epotheros cut off the hind leg and gave it to Kamots, who snatched it up swiftly and ran off to devour it in the woods peacefully.
He took half of the meat, cut them in strips, salted them, and hung them on a branch above the fire to allow them to smoke and dry out. The other half he also salted but placed directly in the fire in order to allow it to cook. He then sat on the ground and watched the fire dance along the shape of the three pieces of meat cooking in the flames.

Clover stirred a little, but didn’t fully wake until Epotheros had already finished preparing the meat. Her eyes slowly opened when a delicious smell came to her nostrils. “Hmm.. What’s that smell coming from?” she asked before she had fully risen her head to see the meat on the fire.
“That was fast,” she commented blankly and then finally fully woke herself up. “Oh, sorry I fell asleep. I should of helped you.”

"No, that is quite all right. I have also prepared some jearky so we'll have something to eat when we can't gett any fresh food."
He smiled, but then quickly looked back at the fire were the meat was cooking. "it looks like it's almost ready," he said picking one of the pieces out giving it to her. "Here you look hungry, it may be bland though."

Clover felt slightly guilty for sleeping through the food preparation. She felt as if she hadn’t earned the food she would soon be eating. These thoughts swam through her mind, but when offered the meat she took it thankfully. “Thank you,” she said before biting into piece she was given.
“No it’s very good,” she assured him after swallowing her first bite. Even if it were bland she didn’t notice. The truth was that she hadn’t eaten much in awhile. Since commissions were scarce so was her food supplies. Sure, she was able to shot small game quite easily, but she hadn’t had the energy to hunt in a while.

He sat quietly and ate his own piece, the meat was of a high quality and was quite delctable. As time went on bite after bite of the savory food disappeared and soon it was all gone.
He then stood up," Seems Tramer wont be here until the morning. We'll just stay here untile he comes. Well I need to was some of the blood off my skin so I'll be down stream."
He then walked casualy down the stream near the waterfall, were he removed everything except for his black linen pants as he wadded out into the cool water. "Not quite as warm as I would like..." He then dove into the water with a loud splash.

Clover ate her dinner quietly making sure to leave a little left over for Amicus who starred at the whole time she ate. “Here you go,” she said tossing a small bit of the meat into the air; Amicus caught it his beak and swallowed it whole. Clover nodded to Epotheros yet again, still not wanting to say much.
She kept her back turned towards the direction he had gone in. Soon enough she heard a splash from what she assumed to him washing himself. Clover stretched her arms out and crawled to a flat spot of tarp and continued her nap where she had left off.

A few minutes later Epotheros had gathered up his clothes and made his way back to camp. His pants that he had worn in the river were already dry and he had his chest plate, boots and chainmail slung over his sholder in his red cape like it was a bag.
"That was quite refreshing. It was cold and brisk but still undeniably refreshing."
He then placed his armor and boots next to his weapons and placed his cap on the other seal tarp and layed down on it, hands behind his head gazing up at the star lit sky.

Clover was now coiled up in a ball as she slept. Her body moved here and there in her sleep, but only slightly. Amicus had flown off to scower the forest for mice and other small animals. Over near the stream Alfie lied nibbling on a few tuffs of grass.

Epotheros closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep as the fire died down, Kamots prowled the camp for a while before settling down and resting on the grass near the fire. He kept an ear up for any sign of danger that may happen during the night.
((I off for the night, see you later.))

Epotheros wakes to find himself in an akward position. His head is just inches from the fire circle, amazingly enough, none of his hairs were burnt. He sat up in the brisk early morning air, a shiver went surging through his body as a light breeze licked his skin that was exposed to the dew covered ground. He then looked over to the glowing embers residing in the fire circle.
"Better start the fire up."
He then put his light cloth shirt on and went out to the edge of the woods to find some pieces of wood inorder to rekindle the fire.

Clover slept until she heard footsteps. Her eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the light of the morning. She blinked a few times and then sat up and stretched her arms towards the sky. A small yawn left her lips. Clover looked over to the other tarp expecting to see Epotheros there, but the tarp was barren. Where could he have gone off to? she thought to herself now surveying the area. Finally she caught a glimpse of a figure near the forest’s edge. That must be him, she assured herself.
Clover then stretched her legs out in front of her, touched her toes and held the position until she felt a burning sensation in her legs. It took awhile, but after a four minutes or so she felt the slight pain and released her toes. “That’s much better,” she commented to herself aloud.

Throws the wood into the fire circle and re-ignites it. Fith the flames up and roaring he sits down scratching his head.
"I am quite hungry... I wonder if ther is afruit tree around here?" he though to himself.
He then turned his attention upon clover who was stretching by her mat. He let out a small snicker when he saw her hair sprouting out in all directions.
"Sleep well?"

Epotheros' eyes flashed to the break in the trees, and with a quick burst of speed positioned himself behind a thik one that was close to the rode. He then gripped the handle of his saber tightly as he calibrated the distance of the foot steps.
"One... two.. one... two.." he counted in his head, "they are uneven, what ever it is, it's limping and also seems to be using shoes so I am guessing it is a human."
As the steps drew nearer Epotheros jumped out onto the path to find Tramer wounded. The deep cut was easy to see he was in a scuffle some where along the way.
"What happened kid?"

Clover ended her stretching with a sigh and noticed Epotheros’ gaze. She then heard a snicker leave his mouth. “Tuh, what are you laughing at?” she said emotionlessly not really caring what it could be.
“I slept..” Clover’s words fell short when she felt a shift in the wind, someone or something was coming, she couldn‘t be certain. Clover stayed where she was and grabbed her bow and quiver beside her mat. She quickly readied herself pointing the arrow towards the direction Epoteros had ran in. She was sure that Epotheros could deal with whatever it was, but she wanted to be sure.
