This wasn't so bad. Sure, the rabbits were kind of annoying -- but the good part about being attacked by them was finding out they were completely edible. He was having stew now-- bubbling hot over the fire he'd made to keep warm in his sheltered little clearing.
IT wasn't a bad camp. As they went, it was pretty nice -- good flat land, cold but not nuts-fall-off freezing, and the game was good.
He figured he could clear his head out here, the next couple of days. Wasn't unlike that hunting trip with his brother-- so long ago, when he was being taught to bring game in to supplement their farm's crops...
He sat, remembering, and savored the quiet; interrupted only by the crackle of of the fire. It was small enough, common enough, that he did not go back to that place, that time...
Jet just waited for the stew to finish.
