Hunter, Gatherer-
Black Ice has been living with Jack for a week now and he decided to go hunting for more food while Jack went to the village he mentioned and got supplies. He grabbed his staff and set out.
It took him a while to find wildlife but the wait was worth it. There was a pack of deer and some rabbits. The boy knelt down and scanned the herd for any male. He found three, a baby and two adults. The oldest male looked on deaths-bed so Black Ice took aim and fired.
A single shard of ice hit the elder through the head, killing it instantly. The herd went into a frenzy and ran to get away from the attacker. Black Ice stood and went to the dead deer before grabbing it and dragging it home.
Jack entered the small village and went to the bakery. She bought a loaf of bread with the money she earned watching and taking care of the children in the village when the adults were too busy or away. She made her way to the library and bought a couple of books before heading home.
Black Ice headed out again after putting the deer where the big kills go (in a small shed with barbed wire to protect it from predators). He caught a duck, three rabbits, some shrew and a saola; he also picked berries.
When he got back home, Jack was already making lunch.
"Hey Ice, how'd it go?"
"It went good, we have enough food to last us at least a week"
Jack smiled and nodded, she placed neatly cut bread on the table, newly made butter and jam next to it as-well-as sliced ham and sausage.
"Looks like your trip to the village went well"
"Yup! I also got us some books"
They talked as they ate, laughing at some jokes and imitating some people and animals.
