wakey wakey eggs and bake-y

she awoke a little after what seemed to be the afternoon. due to the fact it had been nearly dawn when they slept, she was not surprised by this. Zola yawned, her saber fangs clicking against her tongue, and forced herself to all fours. the muti seemed to have worked and she was feeling less pain than before, though there was still some stiffness. glancing at Eliphas' sleeping form, she walked around him to go back to the fallen grizzly bear she had slain. in her jaws was the iklwa, but she did not quite need it. her fangs were enough to cut the belly fat of the beast. blood began to pool around the body, but she did not stop until she removed the stomach and liver.

adding a small slice of meat from the stomach, she returned to where the fire from last night burned still. both wolves had eaten their share of the tough meat previously, yet it was important to keep strength up. she dragged the meat and intestines to the fire, throwing it on the flame to cook. then she turned back to the small pool Eliphas' owl had found, washing free of fresh blood. with her back turned to the boy, she was not aware if he awoke yet or not. Zola did not pause. she made sure to wash all the blood and grit off her so not to attract any predators in the area. by now the pool of water was almost at the end of its life. she hardened the stomach on the fire before removing it, leaving the liver behind.

she quietly filled up the container with water and tied it at the ends so not to spill. this would do for now. Zola had to preserve the rest of the bear for their travels, but that could wait. she huffed air through her mouth, approaching Eliphas' sleeping form. "sanibonani" she uttered, pressing her muzzle against his head to wake him up. the sun has risen, and so should they.
