<div style="text-align: justify;">Lars’ hearth was quite empty. He had only what he had brought with him over from the camp where he was born, and what the rest of the camp had been so kind to willingly share with him, even if he was an unannounced, uninvited mamutoi. A few extra furs, clothes, an extra pair of warm boots that he had doubled with wool to keep his feet warm during his travels in the snow. It was a good thing that this camp was where he remembered it to be, or else he might not have survived much longer in the cold. <br/><br/>He a few tools gathered around him, most of them were hunting and butchering tools, but some were of his own creation. He was getting better at this; a small axe that had a sharp edge on one side and had had blunt, relatively square, end on the other side. While the first was great to either cut small branches or chop raw meat, the other side was great to flatten the meat or to crack nuts opened. With the right amount of force, it didn’t even smash it opened. It was a light tool, well it was light to him anyway and thought he could bring it up to the cooks of the camp to see if his little add on to the traditional axe could be of use to them.<br/><br/>Just as he was thinking this, he heard a young boy run along the lodge to announce that the meal was ready, he worked onto making the blade hold better onto the thick stick of wood he had  picked for the axe and when the piece broke yet again after many different tries, he decided with a touch of frustration that he ought to go fill his stomach. He might think more clearly after.<br/><br/>Lars arrived to the cooking hearth, paying no mind to the two who spoke together. He still felt like a stranger to them, but was growing fond of the people living here. They didn’t hesitate to welcome him, and he was grateful for it. “Good morning, Lorna.” He said, his voice low and soft, even if a bit gruff. “It smells delicious in here.” He complimented but felt somewhat awkward doing it. He served himself a portion of the delicious food, and sat on his own not too far from Lorna, but at a safe distance.<br/></div>
