Dislodging Mosaia from her lap, Aydyn hurried to gather a reserve of sticks and wood for the fire to keep it going through a majority of the night. Traveling alone in the freezing temperatures of winter might not be the smartest thing, but there she was...in the middle of the wilderness, alone and doing her best to keep warm. She would be grateful for when spring rolled around, then finally summer. She could freely travel outside of the city without worrying that she might freeze to death!
With the fire gathered, Aydyn gave the alicats some dinner, a chicken she had brought with her wrapped in brown paper. She cut parts of it off with her dagger--the only real use she had for the thing--and handed two separate parts to either alicat. They set upon the meat almost immediately, chewing apart the poultry and gnawing on bones happily. With their dinner settled, she wiped her hands--and the dagger--clean on the saddlebag before pulling out her own dinner of bread and cheese.
She was half-way through her own meal when the alicats began to wind themselves around her, purring and mewing softly. Water...the flying cats wanted water. As if a quick lick of the snow wouldn't suffice. She dug her water flask out along with the only bowl that she had bothered to bring along. She set it on the snow and they immediately redirected their attention there instead. Then Aydyn sat back down and finished what she had.
