*The macen continued to stroke Machi's fur, almost like one would with a pet. As Machi yawned and stretched awake, Ling's hand travels down to Machi's stomach, slowly rubbing it.*

"Good morning. How are you feeling? Hungry?"

*Ling shakes her arm off to try to get it back awake, then rummages through her backpack to see what they have to eat.*
Micheal
*The Okamimi Warrior woman would shake her leg, as her belly began to be rubbed. She yipped happily, as her tails wagged happily. She slowly, sat up, stretching away the last vestiges of sleep.*

"Good morning, again. Uh, I could eat."

*She said, and moved her hands to massage Ling's arm that was asleep given Machi had used it as a pillow during the night. She tilted her head, and after a moment decided to help the Macen look for food.*
Lynn
"Ok, let me see what we have."

*There wasn't much food left in the backpack. A small sack of rice, dried sausage, some more dried meat, a single egg, and some dried vegetables; consisting of bell peppers, onions, green onions, and chopped ginger. A little inspiration from the centaur she had met earlier, Circe.*

"We don't have much. I think we can make some rice, put the rest on that? We're running out of food though."

*The woman inhales sharply as she feels the wolf massage her arm. Machi's hands... What? Why was she thinking about being touched by Machi? It wasn't that big of a deal.*

"I'll go get some water to cook the rice. Can you prepare a fire?"
Micheal
*The Okamimi nodded as she heard Ling speak, she took in a soft breath, as she was asked about preparing a fire.*

"A fire should be no real trouble for me to make."

*She said, nodding. She took in a breath, and began looking for roots, or grasses she could use for kindling for a fire. She began gathering the items to set up the fire to begin cooking.*

"All in all that should be good, and hopefully there won't be too much travelling before we arrive in a town to resupply..."

*Machi sighed softly, and tilted her head. She would begin to work on lighting the fire as it is.*
Lynn
*Ling gets up, grabbing a small, empty flask, heading out of the cave to begin the search from some water. A small puddle, preferably a clean one.*

*After what seems like quite some time, Machi can hear fast footsteps heading her way. Her macen companion enters the cave, completely soaked, streaks of mud covering her hair and clothes.*

"I... Found some. Don't worry, I got it from a waterfall."

*Ling grabs a pot, filling it with the crystal clear water, then putting the uncooked rice in.*
Micheal
*She would watch Ling go, with a small nod. She tilted her head faintly, and just focused on getting the fire going, and resupplying it with the odd root or kindling she could gather.*

*She would just await, keeping the fire alive, as she heard Ling return, and she looked over her, noticing her now soaked, and covered in mud.*

"You okay?"

*She asked, a little worried overall. She would tilt her head, as she got comfortable to help with the cooking by keeping the fire going, but not too hot to burn through the supply of kindling and rotos.*
