C'mon Baby Light My Fire

Skælingr stepped back to give Ulric a fair shot at lighting the fire. He gave a small, encouraging smile and nod as the other man took the flint and steel. It was a thing that took a fair bit of practice but Ulric picked it up quickly, finding his rhythm and successfully igniting sparks in the kindling. Skæ gently added more tinder on top of the spark, careful not to smother it. It quickly spread and soon ignited the kindling, followed by the fuel wood. "Good work, you're a quick learner."

He settled down and pulled out a piece of deer hide wrapped over a chunk of clay. Skælingr took the bundle in his mouth and moved it to a flat rock nearby. Taking one end of the deer hide he lifted up so that the wedge of clay rolled right off onto the stone. He started kneading the clay with his paws as he looked over to Allegro. "So these lands, was there a big fire that happened here? We noticed the large number of burnt trees."
