It would be best to have a ranger of sorts to cover their backs. However at her own admission Ria wasn't fit for the weapon, and unfortunately no one else spoke up to try and claim a share of Jilly's pack. With a shrug she swapped out her own crossbow for the higher quality weapon, hooking it on her belt and storing the other away in her pack, along with the rest of the halfling's provisions, "hmmm, alright...this campsite isn't exactly as ideal as I first thought..." she mused, tapping at the uneven ground with the toe of her boot, watching as the others attempted to find softer patches of ground around them to little success.<br/><br/>"I'm sure you'll find plenty of takers for that" she quipped back to Iona with a small smirk, and almost as if on cue Emerald had slipped in to take her up on the offer. Hopefully though they could find a better campsite so that the person playing bed could be allowed some comfort as well, "Oi! You trying to say I hit softer than a bunch of light and air?" she called over to Ria and Bell, not letting the girl think that comment had slipped past her.<br/><br/>Eventually it seemed Bell and Bashir had managed to point them in a better direction, the campsite so ideal and so obvious in hindsight that the girl felt foolish to have missed it. "alright, this is more like it." she mused, setting down her pack and unfastening her weapons, setting them aside for now where they'd still be in quick reach, "Hey Em, mind if I take some of that off your hands?" she asked, taking some of the twigs and scrap wood the girl had already gathered so far. Plopping down next to the stone ring of the long extinguished camp fire, Serana began carefully angling the wood so they propped up against each other, forming a cone that would create the base for the fire. With a few strikes of tinder the small pile started to cackle with flame, not very big, but a good start, and the others could periodically toss their findings onto it to help it grow larger, "Oh hey, Em, Iona, before you get to far. Here" Serana said, kipping up to her feet and reaching into her pack, producing a pair of bear traps, "while you're looking for wood, set these up around the perimeter, never hurts to have a bit of extra protection" she cooed, handing each of them one of the traps if they accepted.<br/><br/>With that taken care of Serana would retrieve her cooking pot and head to the river's edge, filling it with fresh river water, pausing to take a hearty gulp of it herself and pouring some over her head to refresh herself a bit, "Ahhhh! gods I needed that..." she mused contently, running her fingers through her messy locks, pausing for a brief moment as she remembered her hair wasn't as long and flowing as it used to be, and taking a moment to chuckle at her reflection in the river. She made her way back to the campsite and secured the pot over the campfire, taking the time it took for the water to start boiling to set up her tent a few feet from the fire, "Well everyone. it's been kind of a rough day, and I've no doubt they'll only get rougher from here on. But with that said, why don't we splurge a bit tonight?" she cooed, reaching into her pack and producing the fresh meal she had packed for herself, "I had intended to eat this myself, but I think we could all use a taste of home. I've got bread and cheese for anyone feeling peckish, and fresh meat for the stew" she said, tossing the higher quality meat into the pot, along with some of the spices she kept in her cooking kit, ensuring that it'd have more flavor than if they all just tossed their dried rations into the pot. Taking her dagger Serana started slicing up the bread and cheese six ways so that everyone could take an equal share. Divvied up as it was it wouldn't be as filling, but it would provide a small creature comfort at the very least, "feel free to add to the pot, we still need some filler to make sure it all goes around" she chimed, giving the pot a quick stir. Once dinner was set to start stewing away, a mischievous grin would spread across the girl's face, "oh, and one last thing..." she cooed, producing the bottle of brandy, "Jilly did leave us one last gift before she hopped off, so why don't we offer up a toast for her in thanks?" she cooed devilishly as she uncorked the bottle, "Obviously we shouldn't be getting drunk right now, but a quick swig won't hurt anyone too much. To Jilly!" she teased, bring the bottle to her lips and taking a quick swig, wincing a bit at the strength of the liquor before holding it out for someone else to take.
