It was that afternoon when one of Karkat's followers that was sent out to gather more people came back. He managed to get about 50 people to join them, which is all right, considering the galactic forces of the Condesce.
Another good thing was that the Cavalreapers that killed Darkfang came by to offer their support. Most of them know of the Summoner's revolution, and actually really respect the guy. They quickly found out that Hopescar was actually alive during the revolution and instantly asked for details. She gave them what she knew, which is actually more then she would like to admit to knowing.
Everyone now really respected Hopescar, and Nepeta assumed it was by either three things. The first thing would be that she is a follower of the Signless, which she is probably the last one living who ever saw him and heard him preach. The second thing is that she uses magic, and that she could be extremely powerful if she was given a wand. The third one is that she killed the Grand Highblood, which is pretty impressive if you think about it. Like, The Grand Highblood was the head of the subjugglators, serving Her Imperial Condescension directly, and probably the one who caused millions upon millions to die by his own hand, and for her to kill him single-handedly is really awesome, scary and impressive all at the same time.
Nepeta left Hopescar to Feferi to help her, thinking that she should do some other things around camp. After she asked around if anyone needed help, someone suggested that she get food for everyone, saying that if she catches enough, they could have a big feast tonight. Nepeta enjoyed the idea and went out immediately to get some food.
At first she got some fruits and vegetables, but after smelling some really good long eared paw beasts nearby, she quickly caught quite a few of them(Just to clarify, those "long eared paw beasts" are rabbits). They were really easy to catch for Nepeta's hunting skills, so she went for tougher prey, paw beasts that are scrawnier then her lusus was, but just as long. Their claws were much sharper and larger than those of her lusus, and their teeth were much whiter (These paw beasts are wolves, if my description wasn't the best at describing them).
Nepeta was able to slay about 5 of them, and she carries all that she got for the feast back to camp. When everyone saw how much food she got, they all cheered and the preparations for the feast began. Nepeta helped skin the animals and cook them, having eaten mostly meat her whole life. A huge bonfire was created and everyone ate around it.
Everyone sat around the fire in groups, chatting about their lives before the war and what they will do once it is over. Nepeta originally sat with Feferi, Sollux, Karkat and Hopescar, but when she found Eridan all alone, she felt it was time for her to repay him.
Nepeta sits next to Eridan, setting her food on the ground. Eridan looks up to her from the fruit he is eating, his eyes questioning her actions. She smiles at him gently as he swallows the fruit in his mouth.
"you dont havve to sit wwith me nep," Eridan claims, even though he really wants her to sit next to him.
":33 Don't be silly, no one should be left alone," Nepeta takes a quick bite from some long eared paw beast meat. Eridan stares at her a bit, remembering the time when he said that no one other than him should be left alone. After a few silent minutes of other people's chatter filling it, Eridan had the rest of his fruit, and the two talked about simple things, nothing serious at all.
