Taking care of family

Rudyard wanted to come along, of course. His logic was sound, though Tika would know that he hadn't acquired the fur himself either way. He was much to small to fell a musk ox. She was a little surprised when he mentioned giving some of the pelt to Bowen. It seemed that he really was growing and thinking of others more than himself these days. For that, she was proud. Rising from her place, the woman shook out her thick, slate colored pelt. "Come then." After sliding into the harness of the travois, the pair set out on their task.

With winter knocking at their door, large herbivores had pushed towards the warmer climes to feed heavily and put on some much needed winter weight. As such, Resin and Rudyard need only travel north a ways before the acrid scent of heavily furred bodies reached their nares. Creeping to the edge of the treeline, the woman slowly and carefully looked out over a big clearing. There were several ox grazing on the nutrient rich flora, packing away the calories for a long winter. They seemed heavier than usual and the scarred woman took that as a bad omen. Would winter really be that harsh? After a bit more assessment, she pulled back and cast her gaze to the boy. "This will be difficult, but I need you to do exactly as I say." She fixed him with a hard stare. "Exactly."

On the travois Resin had placed a few supplies. One was a large coil of rope vines. They were too thin for the task at hand, but if they braided them together, then they might very well fulfill the purpose that she had in mind. Unravelling them, the woman stretched the three ropes out lengthwise beside one another. "You hold onto that end tightly while I do this. Don't let it slip." If he sat on the rope, that would work best. She would let him decide how he wished to do it, however.
