🧙 WHO: Gentaro & Riou
⚔️️ WHAT: Cooking and Totems
🕒 WHEN: Midday, the day before the new arrival storm
🗺️ WHERE: Heading away from Camelot toward the Red Springs
⚠️ WARNINGS: Riou hunts his own ingredients.
[ The last of the January snows seem to be fading out, and that's giving Riou a chance to go exploring on his own. There are a few clear caravans of people heading out to the Red Springs-- he's noticed people like to do so before the new arrivals come in, since people always want to look for people they know.
Riou has been seeing those caravans throughout the day, but he himself isn't treading far-- Jyuto asked him to stay close, after all. Rather, he is simply on a mission to check out areas around Camelot City now that the snow is less heavy to see where the best areas to hunt are, perhaps a good location for a base came, and to test out the totem recipe he just purchased from a recent trip the the traders.
For now, it's time to hunt, and Riou is laying in the snow and lamenting his lack of appropriate camo (most of his purchases have been going toward fashion supplies, not camping) and how he doesn't quite blend in with it. But he is watching an odd-looking, large beetle crawling over log and trying to decide if he wants to have it for lunch or not... ]

[ Sorry, Gentaro, you haven't quite unlocked the friendship level necessary to get a really deep answer about why he enjoys it. With enough snow cleared out of the area, Riou builds his little circle of rocks and starts filling it with brush, the scraps from the stump Gentaro is sitting on, as well as some thicker sticks and branches he can gather nearby that weren't a good shape for the trap earlier. ]
It is also more effective to engage in all-out battle against thieves without potential hostages and bystanders nearby.
[ He will give him that, though-- people are always trying to steal his microphone because it's a valuable prototype. :( ]
no subject
( it takes gentaro a moment to process what riou could mean by that. even when he does register it, he isn’t entirely sure he understands. the encounters he’s had with the former soldier have been limited and this one is truly a chart topper for peculiar. )
I’ve found that magic seems to dissuade most thieves. Of course, it doesn’t do much good if you’re also facing a person capable of burning your home down.
( a mild shrug as he continues to watch riou work. ) Frostbite can be terribly annoying. Are your clothes suitable to avoid that?
no subject
[ Either way, a lot of predators are pretty cranky so he hasn't gotten one to agree to watch his campsite for him. ]
If I stay out for too long without warmth it could become a problem, but I have lined the insides with additional fabric and am wearing extra socks. I can stay out for sometime, though not overnight. If we watch nothing, I will buy you dinner to make up for your time spent out here.
no subject
extra socks though. thanks riou. )
You shouldn’t feel obliged to do that. ( he says it gently, waving a hand gently. he won’t mention his familiar. not right now. )
This experience is more than payment enough.
no subject
[ Once there's enough brush and some thicker sticks built up into a conical shape within his rock circle, Riou takes out a keychain with a magnesium flint and steel on it. It only takes a brief couple of strikes and some blowing to get the fire going. ]
Listen for a scream and we'll know we've caught dinner. I'm going to get more wood.
no subject
( he pauses at that last bit though. A SCREAM? isn’t that a bit alarming?
gentaro blinks a few times, expression unchanged but eyebrows slightly lifting. )
And what am I to do after hearing said scream?
no subject
[ He lives outside, you have to wash the dishes before and after use to be safe. ]
no subject
Pre-wash? My, I don’t mean to nag, but I don’t quite believe you can do that out of order.
no subject
[ Particularly since he hadn't planned on this outing, so the "dishes" are two flat rocks that he found. Which is going to be made apparent as he hands them to Gentaro a moment later. Apparently he'd found them while he was gathering rocks to contain the campfire. ]
