"Right-O." Unsure of what was going on EXACTLY, KB followed orders obediantly. Better to let Kobei be in charge of things, since she showed and obvious knack for being both practical and a survivalist. Unlike KB, who was more of the simple ravaging type that moved around eating. Such personality traits would be hard to shake off, and already KB was showing that he could leave things undone or checked with little to no care.
That wasn't to say he was carless though. He took great care in mixing the water and concentrate to a point where it seemed properly diluted. Just like making a jug of juice, pretty much. In any case, KB had torn off a piece of jerky and began to nibble it, yet to have tried the thing he just mixed. "Mmm. Yummy." He commented. Though he could barely taste what was in his mouth, it was edible, and thus he liked it. Hell, he could probably eat dirt with little complaint right now.

Kobei would reach over, and snag the piece he was nibbling on, and popped it into her mouth, smiling. It took great luck with her lack of visibility to actually get ahold of the jerky meat.
She began to chew, and carried the bag with the gas tin, and the empty bag that carried the med supplies, back tot he inside of the car. She didn't need any help. It was a simple task. As she was fiddling around in the car, she grabbed one of the things she grabbed earlier that was meant to make a faceplate. A box of wooden matches. It was a cold night, but it was dry. Meaning there would be firewood, and given the place they were at, meant a good place to camp out. The bag of fuel also had a blanket in it, she had almost forgotten that. She nabbed that, and her blanket from earlier.

"I guess we should stay here for the night. I can get started on a fire now if ya want, before it gets too cold. " KB offered, looking out as the sun steadilly moved towards setting. It'd be like camping, just a bit colder and with less rain. Of course, this meant KB would have to go forage some dry sticks and maybe chop up some wood. That is, unless they used the gas to set something like a bush on fire...
Shaking his head, he banished the thought. Now was the time to think seriously, not like some kid that had just got wasted and dragged his girlfriend out into the woods to bone.
Damn college kids.
Without awaiting a reply, KB had moved to the car and scooped out the axe. He of course had a chainsaw, but he didn't plan on claiming a whole tree for one night's worth of wood. No, he'd just go hack some limbs off and such.
It would take about half an hour to collect a bushel full of wood and bring it to the ditch. Setting up a quick fire took not much longer, neither did stealing the matches from Kobei to set it. All and all, it'd give her time to fiddle with her toys, and by the time she was at least someways into it if not done, there'd be a large fire crackling near the car, though not close enough to risk flaming death.
Now they had the comfort of either sleeping outside, or sitting near the fire and retreating into the car to sleep. Either way would be close enough to be pretty warm.

The car would not only provide protection, but a safe way to trap heat.
Kobei would bring the bag of rations over to the fire as well as carry the bandages, and clean water. What better way to break the ice, than help bandage your lover's wound. Joy.
Of course, she would insist on her doing it, even if she was blind. Her sense of touch had become more intense since the plate was removed. So feeling around for proper placements wouldn't be a problem. And since they were sticky butterfly stitches, no sewing required.
She brought the blankets over, and tossed him the one that was in the bag. She hung onto her own. Sitting down closeby him, she grabbed at his arm, and pulled him tword her.
"Now, your not going to get away. I smelled the blood earlier, and I don't want you to get sick."

"Mmmuurrrh." KB groaned, as she sat next to him with the medical stuffs. He didn't like being prodded about and such, but it was a chance to be close to her, which was nice. Like a child that had to sit by it's mother and have it's tiny scrapes looked at, when it wanted to play, he sat, turning his head to the side. "Alright." He admitted, defeated already. He didn't want to get sick, being sick wouldn't help them. For the moment he simply held the blanket wrapped around his shoulders, have scared she might have found iodine.

Kobei would bring out the bottle of water, and soak a plain bandage in it. leaving more than enough water to use later. She would pull him by the shoulder, and feel around with one hand, gently pressing around his temple, and forehead to feel the wound. She would do her best to clean out the wound. Irrigate it, and unclot it so that she could apply a antibacterial salve. It wouldn't hurt him, just feel cool to his skin. After she applied the salve, she would feel around for the limited butterfly stitching she had encountered. She pulled her hand back, to remove the paper from one of them, and applied it to the wound, squeezing gently at the skin in order to help mend it better.
She did this, and used around 4-5 of them. Just to be safe.
She kept the rest for herself.
Just for the night, to help collect excess blood, she then applied half a bandage, and taped it to his head. To help protect the make-shift stitching until morning.
Once after she mended him, she would proceed to remove her shirt. There was more mending to be done, as the wounds from her chest, andarms were re-opening. The rest on her body would have already clotted, and started to scab over.
Her thigh she had something in mind for, but it would take time. Something to put off for another night. Funny how Rigidl have this way of self-healing, to a point.
She got another clean bandage, soaked it, and removed the bandages KB dressed her with earlier. She started to clean them with the bandage.

"Thanks." KB said, as she cleaned him up. The head wound wasn't so bad really, and though blind, Kobei was damn talented. Of course, KB looked away as she fiddled and fixed herself up. No need to be watching her undressed and all that good stuff.
^___^
"That's a pretty tree." He remarked casually, as he looked around. The woods were nice and peaceful, not to mention not naked. Well, they were, but they didn't have tits.

One of them seemed like it was winking at him. Knotty tree.
Kobei kept cleaning herself up, applying the salve finally, and the stitching. However, it seemed she pinched too tightly on one of the wounds on her stomach. She groaned a bit, and proceed to add the Stitch.
Once everything was set, and clean, and bandaged, she donned the shirt again, and tapped him.
"I'm decent." she said, smiling. It was still cute to her how he didn't look. Especially when it was natural to have that attraction to one another.

The fact that she had her shirt back on was good, it meant he didn't mind looking to her once more. For some odd reason, he didn't like to watch her dress or undress, it seemed innapropriate. "I wish we had marshmellows." He said, as he looked into the fire. He was half-tempted to poke the fire with a stick, and then wave that flaming stick about the forest.
No doubt he'd burn himself and the forest down to the ground, that is, if he wasn't busy spending quality medical attention time with his lover.

We don't need no water. Let green peace angst.
Kobei had pulled her blanket around herself, facing the fire. It was much more warm than that bloody car, but at the same time, that bloody car was much more warmer than the cold air of the night.
Kobei pulled the bag up that had the food in it, and extracted what seemed like the rest of the jerky, and a large, cool hankerchief, containing the venicin she caught and butchered. Since it was such a cold night, it seemed to have saved the meat from spoiling.
She also still had water left. Whatmore than to string out more of the flavoring of the concentrate, than to mix it all up finally, and to drink it.

Indeed, if they had a pot they could make a pretty nice stew. It wasn't a big deal though, and as KB looked up to see the stars start to poke out, he was calmed. The crackling flames reminded him to feed them, and he blindly tossed a hunk of food into the greedy orange beast. It ate that hunk of wood as well, happy to be fed by it's master. The cold had long since stopped bothering him...
It was peaceful, that's all that mattered.

Kobei would construct a way to cook the meat provided. She took two sticks, and plunged them into the ground near the fire. Almost like a spit. She would pierce the venicin on both sides, stretching it out. One side near the flame, one side away. It would provide even cooking. As she let the first piece cook, she would take up the bottle of 'juice', and drink some.
Suprising what one could do, even though they were blind.

Kobei was superior to KB in many ways, though he had an odd suspicion it was something he'd have to get used to. Nearly everything in the area would be superior to him, even his own children. Not that it mattered, KB wasn't competing. He was simply enjoying himself.

Looking up, he thought he felt something familiar within the stars. His eyes searched in vain for what it might be, perhaps a constellation of some sorts. Though it felt much more than that, somewhere out there it felt like home. Shaking his head slightly, he let his thoughts be turned back to where he was. The warmth of the fire, the stillness of the night - camping on the roadside was more or less what one might expect it to be.
And yet even though things were peaceful and he was enjoying himself, his thoughts drifted to the chainsaw in the car. It wasn't a tool to him, it was a weapon. He thought it odd that he felt an urge to start training, to learn how to use weapons once more. He wasn't a violent man by any regard, but he just felt something telling him he'd need to be on his toes.

Kobei would do her best to keep herself warm. As time passed, the venicin cooked through. The pulled the wooden steaks from the ground, and tore the piece in half, handing one steak to KB.
She greedily tore into her piece with her teeth, and chewed off a hunk of the cooked meat. It was the best flavour in her mouth since she ate the jerky earlier.
Her mind drifted to other tastes, but now wasn't the time for that.
