The wind was gently blowing. There was a distinct aroma of winter on the wind. It smelled like snow and ice, along with coldness. The animals of the forest were collecting winter supplies to last through the bitter season. Squirrels, which Canali hated after one incident, were gather nuts of all kinds to keep their bellies full when the trees quit producing. Snakes were coming out less and less frequently. When they did, they stayed upon the rocks in the sun, trying to soak up the heat like a sponge.

The leaves, offspring of the trees, had been shed. They tumbled to the ground in graceful arcs. Did the trees feel their children leaving? Did pride or regret fill them, if they did? Canali wondered about all of these things as she made her way slowly back to the Crimson Edge Camp. There was a small pool of water down a path she had worn. Canali fetched water each and every morning to boil for her tea or to make breakfast. Even just for simple bathing purposes.

With the heavy pot of water in her hands, Canali wondered the wonders of the earth. How did the soil prepare for the oncoming bitter season? For a fleeting moments, she speculated how if the pond of water would freeze over before deciding, no, it would not. There seemed to be an endless supply of water from where she harvested it. Moving water didn't freeze over… Right? How would she harvest water otherwise? Melting snow took too long and left too little of results. Canali's active mind slipped to her bed. It could be chilly in the evenings as she slid between the sheets. Mentally, she made a note to heat rocks and place them at the foot of everyone's bed, underneath the sheets, to keep their beds warm.

Snow was a wonderful and horrible thing to her. It kept her from doing what needed to be done, but still preserved their food better than salt ever could. Less salt would also mean a healthier diet, which meant Cade, who had gained several pounds over the summer, could lose the extra fat. Snow sweets would also be able to be made from warm syrup on cold snow. It would harden and create tasty sweets. Swallowing roughly, Canali was aware she had finally made it back to camp.

Katahr was lounging near the fire she had started before leaving. Everyone else was gone, off doing their own thing for the day. The kitten glanced up and let out of a rumbling purr of recognition as she entered. Rolling her grey eyes, Canali took a seat next to him. The pot of water was hung on the makeshift rack over the cackling fire. The rack was two separate Y sticks with one in the middle. The pot had a handle, and the middle stick held up the handle. Sitting cross legged, Canali leaned back on both palms of her hands to watch the water boil and relish in the warmth of the fire. Katahr, sprawled out beside her, soon fell into a blissful sleep.

Canali wished she could do the same.

77th of fall 511

Danck carefully walked through the forest, trying to keep his own teeth from chattering as he did so, he really was going to have to rob a store soon for a warm cloak and some gloves if he didn't want to freeze to death when winter finally rolled through with its full icy force. He pushed that little depressed tought out of his mind as quickly as he could, he would worry about planning that little stunt later, first he had to clean the other set of filthy bandages in the mostly clean riverwater. He didn't thrust the water he could find in sunberth to not give him some kind of disease, it was filthy even befor the storm and the rest of the crap that happenend in the city the last season

He rubbed his arms to warm himself up a little bit and hurried his step, he wanted to get back to sunberth and pretent to be a paying customer in the drunken fish and warm himself back up already.
He scowled as he looked through the forest, wondering if he took a wrong turn somewhere, wasn't he supposed to have found that river already? He idily pulled a bit on one of his bandages as he began to try and remember where exactly the river was and checking if he could still remember how to get back to the city. The last thing he wanted to happen was to get lost, just when winter was just around the damn corner, just then though he heard somebody, or something, make its way through the woods and he instinctively dived behind the closest thing he could use for cover. And carefully peeked around the tree in the direction the rather loud sounds, raising an eyebrow as he saw a woman carrying a kettle filled with water. A few questions flying through his head at the sight, where did she get the water? What was she doing? Where was she going? He just shook his head a moment and decided to follow her. He wasn't completely sure about the way back to sunberth anyway and with a little bit of luck he could follow to whatever place she was staying and snoop around a bit, seeing if something was worth stealing from her home.

Danck let a sly grin slip on his face as he carefully crouched down and slipped out from behind the tree and carefully began to follow the woman from a fair distance. He was glad that the woman paced herself, probably not wanting to spill any water from the kettle, since he could take his time with stalking her and make sure that he didn't step on something that would make enough sound to alert the woman to his the fact he was there. Aside from a few very close calls as he accidentally stepped on a few twigs or made enough noise he was sure she had to have heard something, but it seemed the woman had her heads in the clouds. Leaving Danck to wonder how the heck she had survived out here. The answer came soon as they finally arived at their destination. She wasn't out there alone. Was she the cook for a band of mercenary's? He slowly and carefully crept closer towards the camp, trying to use the trees as cover. Though he really hoped she would keep her attention on her kettle.

Unfortunally for Danck, in a moment of innatentiveness he missed a rotten and wet branch hidden underneath the blanket of fallen leaves, the wet wood breaking with a loud creak underneath his weight letting it be impossible for anybody to miss the fact that somebody had been trying to sneak up on her. Danck knew in the moment he had stepped on the branch he was going to be spotted and quickly darted behind the closest tree. More out of instinct then any ideas about being able to keep hidden.
