I can carry one.  Worst case scenario, we have to drop it and only have one, then go hunting when we run out of food, eh?"  Owyn replied with a shrug.  He took hold of the boar he was delegated and hoisted it onto his shoulders, grunting under the weight.  "God damn that's one heavy son of a bitch..."  The two headed in the direction they last saw the girls going, but had to wait for the fire's smoke to guide them the rest of the way.  Under the weight of the limp pig, Owyn felt like a lot less of a man than he had that morning and it took all of his willpower not to complain.  He wouldn't do it, not until he at least heard Soren do it first.  When the other boy hardly showed exasperation, save for the sweat dripping down their faces, he knew they were in for a long, long walk.  They even had to stop a few times, but Owyn didn't shirk his own duty, lest his pride be struck by Ulyssa again.  No, he was going to be a Huntsman, things would get harder from here on out, so he just had to work for it.  It's not like he thought this place would be [i]easy,[/i] but maybe not so much right out of the gate.

Lyra was happy to help start the fire and was even more pleased that Ulyssa could teach her to start one without using one of her arrows.  It would take more practice and a little study to be any good at it, but she looked forward to it.  The girl warmed her hands, crouching down low in front of the heat, smiling to herself as she basked in it.  It reminded her of home too; in the household, she was an oddball for high society.  And the more comfortable she was here, the more she realized it was the truth there.  Sitting on the floor by the fire took precedence over any and all furniture in the house whenever one was lit.  But this one...  The Faunus closed her eyes for a few moments - it smelled like leaves and real timber, rather than odorless gas and heat vent.  Even the soft essence of sap and real wood mixed well with the brilliant flames licking at the air beyond her eyelids.  The smoke rose straight into the sky thanks to a lack of wind and it was likely that other fires would start to pop up around the forest throughout the night too.

By the time she was done warming up and enjoying the relaxing part of their evening, she heard the heard wet clothes splashing into the grass on the floor.  Lyra opened her eyes and looked over to see Ulyssa completely disrobed.  She blinked - was now really the... time to be..?  Her eyes darted to the water...  Even if it was cold, it looked refreshing... and they had a fire to dry by...  She furrowed her brow, realizing now that Ulyssa couldn't be older than her, but she acted so mature.  In fact, judging by her figure from here, she looked definitely younger.  Lyra finally decided to unhook her cloak and hang it over a tree before carefully removing her clothes and laying them down.  They weren't exactly clean, but she didn't have anything else to wear out of the water, so she'd just leave them be and wash them when they got their room.

Ulyssa was already almost neck-deep in the water by the time Lyra got to the edge, one arm covering her chest as she touched it with her toe.  The fur of her tail stood on end as she tensed, "Oh god, that's so cooolllld," She groaned, staring ahead.  She was starting to have second thoughts, but the desire to at least feel clean for a bit was far more powerful.  Moving quickly was a much better option which she opted for - get the chill over with and her body would warm up once she was all the way in.  The Faunus took several determined steps into the water before she really felt the cool liquid crawling up her legs.  However, she pushed through the hesitation and was soon with Ulyssa, lowering herself to at least as high as her neck.  Her back was to the shore as she let out a satisfied breath.

"I guess it isn't so bad once you're in...  That feels so much better...  I wonder if we're the only group out here that's kind of... thriving off the land," She wondered aloud, looking to Ulyssa as she dipped under the water and tipped her head back.  When she came back up, her white hair was slicked back and water dripped from her nose and chin.  "I didn't realize how tired my muscles were until I got in here...  Ughh..."  She muttered, reaching up into the air to stretch her arms out before leaning back and stretching her back as well.  "Feels so much better..."

Uncharacteristically, she hadn't realized that Owyn and Soren returned until she heard a cough.  Her ears stood on end and she whipped around to see Soren with his back turned.  Even from here she could tell he was beet red.  But Owyn, dumbfounded as he was, had just placed his boar on the ground and not registered that his sister and teammate were both naked in the pool.

"Oh, look at that...  Good spot, it's pre-" He started, actually [i]complimenting[/i] the find before being cut off in a brilliant flash of green.  Something heavy and thick struck his back and when he opened his eyes, he was slumped against a tree with a pounding in his skull and a soreness like no other.  "-tty good..."  He finished his thought, groaning, "The hell happened..?"

"Why the hell didn't you turn around when Soren did?!"  Lyra shouted from the water, sinking low enough to nearly cover her nose in embarrassment, only sticking her head up to speak.  "DID YOU EXPECT ME TO REACT ANY DIFFERENTLY?!"

Owyn blinked and looked around the campsite, only now noticing the clothes laying by the fire and in the grass.  When the realization struck him, he covered his eyes with his head, "OH GOD.  Ew.  EW!  YOU'RE MY SISTER, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK I WAS THINKING?! I DIDN'T KNOW!!"  He cried out in humiliation.

"WELL NEXT TIME DON'T BE SO STUPID!!"

"NO, NEXT TIME YOU DON'T BE SO RASH!!"

It was amazing that the pool wasn't steaming hot with the amount of heat and anger emanating from the Faunus girl as she snarled just below the water's surface.  While the two weren't looking and with her eyes locked on Owyn, Lyra climbed out of the pool, covering her chest once more with an arm.  She shook the water from her body and finally her tail before grabbing her underwear and cloak, clasping it together over her shoulders and making sure it at least hid the majority of her body to her thighs before taking a spot by the fire to dry off.  "I'm enstating, for the rest of the night, a three second rule," She said loud and clear, not yet giving the boys permission to open their eyes or face their direction.  "Anybody looks at either of the two teammates lacking a Y-Chromosome... dies.  Period."  Her voice sounded like it was almost singing the warning, but a venomous threat lie under the words...  and the brooding attitude behind them was hardly one to trifle with.

"As soon as Ulyssa gives the okay, you two can open your eyes and make us dinner.  If that [i]works[/i] for the two of you," She said, growling the last statement with warning.  Her bow rested at her side, now reconnected at the limbs and ready for use.  On her other side were the arrows and she left her cloak open only enough to let the heat in.
