The process of skinning and gutting the meat was a messy process that Taya didn't like but she didn't complain. Their village had been running low on food and with some new babies on the way they needed to make new swaddles for the children. Once the furs were removed, Taya was excused by the older women to take the furs to the village to begin cleaning them. Gathering them up, Taya trekked back to the fire. Seeing Erik by her stew made Taya feel a strange sense in her chest, it was warm and made her smile. Approaching Erik from behind, quietly and hoping to surprise him, Taya leaned over his shoulder,
"Enjoying it?" She asked.
