"Hey, Traveler!" You hear a cheery voice call out from behind you, and turn around from stoking the flames of your campfire to see Amber sauntering over towards you with her bow and arrow slung over her back. She's got a triumphant grin on her face, as she carries over to you a few dead rabbits and a duck and drops them in front of you. "Caught dinner."
You're sitting by the fire of the camp Amber and you set up after a long day of adventuring and surveying in the wilds, and a violent scrap with some bandits for good measure. The two of you have hunkered down in one of the forests near the Windwail Highlands, a few miles outside the village of Springvale. After setting up your tent together and tending to your minor wounds, Amber set out to catch some meat for dinner while you stayed back to watch camp and get a cooking fire going.
The two of you set up camp in a small clearing, some small comforts to fight back against the uncaring wilds. A dark green tent flaps lightly in the soothing, cool summer breeze, with a small Adventurer's Guild flag flying off the front of it that Amber proudly attached after the two of you finished putting it together. In front of you, you've built a positively roaring fire, that crackles and pops softly as the tinder and wood you've gathered succumbs to the fire below. Cicadas whine all around you, and the forest is peppered with fireflies flitting between the trees in some ethereal, unknown dance. Off in the distance, you hear a wolf howl. Dusk is approaching.
Amber plops down next to you and starts pulling off her leather gloves, pulling a utility knife out of the leather pouch on her waist and beginning to skin one of the rabbits. "Mind plucking that duck for us? I think we want to get eating before the sun goes down." Dinner comes together quickly, and soon the two of you are happily munching on roasted rabbit on a stick, while picking at the remnants of the duck's meaty breast together.
"I'm dead beat!" Amber says smilingly, as she takes a ravenous bite out of her rabbit and chews heartily. "Got in some great survey work, and I'll never turn down a good brawl."
You chuckle a little as you punch her on the shoulder lightly. "Hardly a brawl for you when you're sitting behind me, picking them off with your bow. You're not the one risking it in melee combat, I am."
"Boo hoo..." Amber says teasingly as she lightly caresses your bandaged head, and you wince as she touches the bandages near your temple. "Those guys were nothing, we took 'em on. And they got a few licks in on me too, don’t forget!" She huffs teasingly, pointing to the bandages around her leg. "That arrow shot was no joke! I barely dodged it, it would have been a long hobble back to Springvale otherwise."
Amber tosses the remnants of her rabbit into the fire after you and scoots closer. "Y'know, I'm really happy you're with me tonight, Traveler. Thanks for accompanying me on this expedition. It means a lot. It's hard out here on my own sometimes."
You nod silently, staring into the fire as you take another sip of water from your canteen. "
