Hello? Anyone here?

Having secured the rope on a tall tree , Orpheus smiled at his returning companion , trying his best to avoid gawking at how pretty she looked .

“ There she is ! Got your rope , ma'am . ”

⠀⠀

Snorting at that as she skipped over to change behind the tree, before exiting out in her swimming suit.

" Ready! "

“ Sounds great . I won't spy . ” Orpheus smirked , throwing a cheeky wink her way .

He did love to tease her sometimes .

⠀⠀

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥.ᐟ @SONGBlRDIE]

" We do! Let me just -- change behind the tree while you go' head and get that rope up. Sounds good? "

“ I think we deserve a little fun . ”

" That'd be mighty nice of ya, aw. I'd like that. "

“ I have rope . Maybe I could make us a swing for old times sake ! ”

⠀⠀

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥.ᐟ @SONGBlRDIE]

" Yes! I loved swimmin'. I used to have a rope to swing myself into the water. "

“ It's a hot day , isn't it ? I'd be down for some swimming . ”

@EYE5FULL0FST4RS --- let's go down to the creek.

Wrapping the blanket tightly around the two of them , Orpheus rested his cheek atop her head .

“ There isn't much to say , really . I suppose I'm still adapting to the change . Thinking about what to do next . ”

⠀⠀

[𝕺𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 𝕬𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 @EYE5FULL0FST4RS]

@SONGBlRDIE ⠀⠀

Making space for her to sit down , Orpheus opened the blanket for them to share if she wished .

“ Sort of . Can't seem to turn my head off lately . Makes it hard to sleep . ”

Quickly averting his gaze , Orpheus cleared his throat while suddenly becoming awfully interested in his meal .

“ I love it too . Have you ever been to the lake a few miles out of twelve ? ”

⠀⠀

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥.ᐟ @SONGBlRDIE]

A sheepish look flickers across her face at the thought, and her arms moved to hug herself as she ducked her head some.

" The best I can do is wear my sleeveless shirt and a skirt. " It's when she felt the most coolest.

" I do like swimmin' though. It's relaxin' "

[𝕺𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 𝕬𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 @EYE5FULL0FST4RS]

That was an interesting question , for sure , aswell as valid information about what he could expect from her in extreme weather .

“ Honestly , I try to dress as light as possible , which can be hard when riding a —

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥.ᐟ @SONGBlRDIE]

" I figured as much that it'd be deer. I did see some when we were ridin' in here. So, you right about it not bein' hard to find. "

Oh! warmth! She loves warmth, the freezing cold in the winters was hell for her, she didn't have many to wear back at home when it came to -

— and in desperate times Orpheus wasn't against eating the meat . He did prefer not to , however .

“ I only kill wolves if I have no choice . Their pelts are worth good money and it helps on winter . ”

⠀⠀

[𝕺𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 𝕬𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 @EYE5FULL0FST4RS]

⠀⠀

“ It ain't hard to find deer around this time . Single carcass could feed us for a few weeks if we're organized , so that's as big as we'll get for now . ”

Wolves could certainly be a concern if they weren't careful , —

[𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘥.ᐟ @SONGBlRDIE]

" Think we'll find anything big to hunt out here? other than wolves. " She shuddered at having to hunt for wolves, and eat such a thing.

She doesn't think she could stomach that, Lucy Gray would rather starve than have wolf for dinner.

Rabbit, squirrel, any kind of critter -

[𝕺𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 𝕬𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 @EYE5FULL0FST4RS]

⠀⠀

— open fire like this . I'm not too fond of squirrel but we probably won't need to resort to that . ” Orpheus smiled reassuringly . “ We can start small with hunting until you're ready to try something bigger . ”

[𝕺𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐔𝐒 𝕬𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 @EYE5FULL0FST4RS]

He demonstrated no disapproval at her experience , regardless of how small it was . Any hunting ability was valuable in their situation , and she could always learn .

" rabbit. "

she hated to admit it, but it was what she could find, and beggars can't be choosers at all, wincing as she hesitated on her next answer, letting out a little huff through her nose.

"...squirrel. "
