Well, they'd managed to get the ash barrel set up without too many incidents. Still, it would take some time before it was full. In the meantime, there were plenty of carcasses that had been stripped of their useful meat that Halo needed to go about clearing of their fat as well. There was a bit more time to do it in the winter, the freezing temperatures doing well to both prevent spoilage and keep any unwelcome predators away. This too, would be a good lesson for Hazel.

The yearling was also strong, which Halo could appreciate. She didn't want to work the girl too hard, but there was also no doubt in Halo's mind that she'd be struggling to move the largest prey carcasses by herself. "See here, the blubbery bits, the stuff that's pretty gross to eat and we usually spit out. That's what we want, we're going to dump it into this pot here." With a careful claw, Halo indicated the thick deposits of fat that remained on the thicker parts of the carcass. "The prey tend to fatten themselves up to prepare for food shortages this time of year. Early winter is the best time to collect it from carcasses."

In the central fire ring, a fire crackled merrily in the mid-morning sun. Halo and Hazel were huddled around the carcass, setting to work, chucking bits of pale, squishy fat into the pot. "Could you please grab more firewood?" Halo called over her shoulder to whoever was near, still engrossed in the work.

"Speech"
