The woman turned and greeted him and Skælingr bent his head to gingerly set down his bundle of sticks so he could answer. "Greetings. I didn't mean to disturb you, I'm just gathering some kindling for my fire. You're welcome to join me if you like, I was just on my way back." He picked up his bundle of sticks and headed back toward his fire ring which wasn't far away at all, maybe 50 feet. He set down the bundle and went about preparing the wood for a fire. First he set down two log pieces with a space between them. Then he set two more crosswise on top of the first two, continuing to leave a space. That was all he'd found for large pieces. He was sure there was a way to chop wood into useable pieces. He did plan to make another axe but he was still working on the best way to wield one. Skælingr next took a number of small sticks from his kindling bundle and added them to the middle. He carefully arranged them then added dead leaves and pine needles on top for kindling. "Speech" |
