Out of the Cold

[Madi]

This would be the first winter since the second Death Wave had washed over an already ravaged Earth. It was going to be hard to survive it -- there weren't as many resources as there had been only a few months ago, and those that had survived, like her, would be scavenging in preparation of the coming cold.

But it wasn't all bad. Madi was traveling with Clarke now which was... nice, if not a little strange. Madi had grown used to fending for herself, to going where she pleased and doing what she wanted.

Like attacking Clarke for being the fleimkepa... which might had been a little hasty of her. But now, some months passed their turbulent meeting, she had warmed up to the woman.

In fact she quite liked Clarke. She was smart and a born survivor, like her. Madi made a sound, a low whistle, and motioned ahead to where they prey had gone... they would need to finish hunting before nightfall... in a few hours...

Clarke had gotten rather good at hunting over the time. Living aone in the wilderness was not her first here. But this time she had a young girl with her, one that needed her in ways the girls could not even grasp yet. She was young, she would be self-taught without her. Granted given Madis knowledge, of course she would survive. But she would be lonely. She would be all alone and the she didn't know if she would be able to connect with other people. Clarke threw the spear at Madis signal and sure as day hit the animal. 

Clarke smiled up at her adoptive daughter. "One more thing for the winter to take care of. We need to find more plants and seeds, too, to make durable." And they needed the smoke house desperately. But they had one and they would take care of it. They could make it. "It's getting chilly, I think. We should get that home and prepare it and you should make us a fire."

[Madi]

The spear hit the mark just as Madi knew it would. Her adoptive mother had proven time and time again that she was a good hunter and a born survivor. There were no doubts in the young girls mind that the two of them would survive this winter together.

It would be long and it would be harsh but they would survive. Madi went bounding over to where the animal had fallen, her feet light and almost soundless on the forest floor. She heard what Clarke said but didn't immediately answer.

She set her attention to gathering up their meal and only turned her face to Clarke once the task was done. "There are some plants nearby that we could gather. Berries, herds. We could gathering some beetles too."

Madi wasn't entirely sure exactly what was needed but a little bit of everything would see them through. A little of everything was better then not having enough or not having something when they needed it. "We can get them and then go home."
