She managed to find a few roots,  some berries, and a bunch of nuts. It wasn't much, but they wouldn't starve. On her way back to him, she noticed a few berries on a bush that looked familiar. Her long shirt was folded up over her belly, fashioned into a makeshift sack. It was already bulky with the items she had gathered but she paused to examine the berries closer. The smell was familiar. She couldn't place it. Only after she plucked a leaf from the bush and smashed it between two fingers did she remember what they were. The berries were identical in taste to a rare sort of berry that was commonly sought after. Most people loved the berries and thought of them as a rare treat. Both berries we're delicious and rare, but this breed was different. They were metabolized in the body differently, causing an extreme tranquilizing effect. There were few who knew about the difference in these berries, or that they had such an effect. She felt positive that he wouldn't know, especially in his exhaustion.<br/><br/>"Perfect," she smiled to herself, "these are exactly what he needs."<br/><br/>She picked the berries carefully, keeping them held in one hand, making sure to keep them apart from the rest of the food. When she arrived, she first set down the berries in her hand, saying, "found us a treat. I already ate my share. Couldn't wait to eat them." She smiled slightly and began setting out the food.<br/><br/>She set in on eating a handful of the nuts, lounging back against a tree to wait. She only hoped that he would eat enough food to fill himself before falling asleep. He would likely be out a while.
