"Naw," He said, shaking his head. "The wound must be all healed. Or I'd still be a wolf." Miles unwrapped everything and put his cloak back on, then wrapping it up in the blanket he slept in. "….If that makes sense."

She nodded, "That makes sense," Emmeline stood up and sighed, stretching her arms and legs as she wondered what their plan for the day was going to be. "Do you know how much further we have to go until we reach another village?"

"I'm just as clueless on that as you are," He muttered. "I have no idea where we are going… I just need to get away…" Miles ran a nervous hand through his hair. "From hunters…"

"It's alright Miles, we'll get away from them and we'll find a village." She smiled softly at him, picking up the bundle of stuff along with her now dry clothes and putting them into the bundle, "Do you want to leave right now?"

He tilted his head slowly and frowned. "Not right now…. Maybe a little later. I mean we do have to eat…"

Emmeline set the bundle back down and nodded, "Food does sound good right now.."

“Oh for sure….” Miles greedily unwrapped the bundle and took the last piece of meat she got for him and took the paper off. He was about to dig right in when he hesitated a moment before. “Yikes….” He said deeply. “How keen are you on starting a fire?” One bite and I could’ve been as good as poisoned…

She chuckled and watched him almost bite into the meat, "I can try to start a fire, you don't need to be sick." She immediately started wandering around, picking up sticks and twigs for the fire, "Can you check if there's anything that we could use to start a fire in the bag?"

"Ermmm….. Sure…." And what makes you think it's funny for me to get sick??? Miles growled, setting the meat back in the clean paper. He shuffled through the bag. "Let's see….. I don't think I ever had matches… Did you buy some at the store or something?"

"No, I didn't," She said, walking back over to him with a small pile of sticks in her arms. She dropped them on the ground and sat down beside them, starting to make a neat pile for the fire, "I'm not the best at starting fires," She looked around for something that they could use to start a fire as she talked.

Miles stood up and scuffed his shoe around in the dirt for stones and things. "I think you can just rub two sticks together really fast…. if you can, that is." I would chip rocks together but I don't think they'll do any good….

Emmeline nodded, grabbing two decently sized sticks and rubbed them together as fast as she could, waiting to see if anything was happening.

Miles sat down near the fire and watched her, just staring at her. I wonder if she's actually gonna be able to do it…

"Is there any dry grass or leaves around?" She asked, taking a break from trying to start a fire, "I think there needs to be something like that here so it can catch on fire."

"You mean tinder?" He corrected, letting out a laugh. "Just joking…. I'm sure I can find some…" He heaved himself up and scoped around. He unrooted a fistful of dry grass from the outside of the path and brought it back. "Is this enough?…." I doubt it…

She looked at the clump and nodded, "That should work, I think, but could you get a little more just to be safe?" She reached over and took the grass from him, smiling as she sat back and tried rubbing the sticks together again over the grass.

Miles rolled his eyes and went back off, pulling out two handfuls of the grass and coming back quickly. "Is this enough?" He asked, handing it to her. "Maybe I should try rubbing the sticks…." I am stronger after all… And I can sustain the speed….

"You can try if you want." She said, taking the grass and laying it down on top of the other clump before offering the sticks to him, "It's harder than it looks."

Miles grabbed the sticks and sat himself down. "Alright…. If you say so…" He began to rub them together fast and vigorously, getting a small smoke within the first five minutes. Damn this is pretty hard…

She leaned back and watched him, humming softly as she studied him. It was still quite weird seeing him as a human after so long as a werewolf, but she liked it. Emmeline realized she was staring at him and she looked away, focusing on the fact that he had already gotten smoke when she hadn't.

(Lol)

Miles glanced up at her. "What? You jealous or something?" She has every reason to be, not gonna lie…

Emmeline shook her head, feeling her face grow slightly red, "No, I'm not jealous." She glanced at him for a moment, quickly looking back down at the sticks to see if he had gotten a fire going yet.

Miles shrugged and gave the stick one last burst of fast spinning, and the dry grass finally caught a tiny flame. Finally!…. He crouched down really low and began to blow on it to get it going some more.

She smiled, "Yay!" She said, leaning forward to help get the fire going, "How are you going to cook the meat over the fire?" She asked, placing a few tiny twigs on the grass.

"I can just put it on a stick or something, no biggie…" Miles got the fire going quite well, and he took the meat by the bone and held it over the fire. "Or like this." Maybe a pan would be nice when we get to the next town…
