Rylee stared at him, a look of impassivity in her eyes. He did not reach to touch the rabbit and she wondered how wholly incompetent he might be. Though he'd managed a fire, at least, that much was abundantly clear. She supposed it would have to do, and she'd deal with cleaning the kill if need be. After all, what was a bit more gore for the day?
A dark laugh peeled back her lips to reveal her sharp teeth.
She did not notice the mood which descended over him as he finally set to work cleaning the kill. Instead, she bent down to grab the other and sat across the fire from him to clean it.
The silence between them was welcomed. She'd always preferred it to anything else. Calm and peace came with silence. A thing that eluded her elsewhere in her life even at the best of times. Despite the less than stellar company, she found she did not mind it - much to her dismay - so long as he remained mute. No songs, no talking. The mood in the air did not affect her as it might him, for she'd continued to focus on her own task. Too absorbed in it to recognize anything but tranquility in the dark of night.
