Catherine used the fire to light several candles and placed them in their proper places. She would have to search the rooms above; while the cold didn't bother her as much as it once might of, it was still not something that she wished to endure naked... She couldn't remember the last time that she had been seen naked by anyone but her sister, much less been forced to roam about that way.... if her nipples got any colder, they would fall off.<br/><br/>So, with obvious reluctance, she raided the pantry and shelves for whatever she could find that was usable... Beans and tubers would withstand time well, but they took time to cook and... ah, a clean pot... she knew that food would be a prime necessity.<br/><br/>Wita table cleared in the common room, she set the pot over the fire and filled it with water. Salvaging what she could of the meat... cutting the good from the bad and slicing up whatever else she found, she tossed it all into the pot and left it to boil while she made a rapid, shivering survey of the rooms... pulling a blanket off of a bed to wrap herself with before going back down to the common room... where was her sister?
