In reply to: Hala 's message, "..::Awakens::.." on 17:47:11 04/23/02 Tue

Ketan's nightmares have been bothering him all night, and when he finaly falls into a deep, dreamless sleep just before dawn, death tired, not even ten of Hala's birds could awake him. He doesn't wake up before the smell of Hala's cooking reaches him. Then he gets up slowly, his shoulder hurting after he has hit it several times during the night, and staggers out from behind his courtain. He yawns and looks around for Hala. He can't see her, but as he listens closely he can hear her breathing behind her curtain. He smiles a little to himself and pads over to the fireplace.
A quick look at the eggs makes his stomack rumble, and he tries to remember when he last ate. Apart from the drink Rashi gave him, he thinks it's been a while. He gets a little surprised as he sees signs that Hala has already eaten, and left the rest for him, but it is a very comfortable surprise. He stretches and sits down by the fire. He burns both his fingers and his tongue as he eats the rest of the eggs straight from the stone, but he is so hungry he couldn't care less. The slightly burned cooking tastes like the best he's ever eaten. When he is finished, he is still hungry, and he smiles as he recognizes the smell from the kettle. He quickly searches through his pockets. He finds some extra strings for the bow he lost during his journey here, a knife made of a sharp piece of stone, a feather of a raven... and a small, almost broken cup. He grins; it'll do. He finds a twig and gets the kettle off the fire, before he manages to get some of the liquid over in the cup without too many burned fingers. He quickly emties the cup, and fills it up again before he puts the kettle back. As he drinks the herb tea he imagines he can feel some of his strenght returning to him, though he doubts he'll be able to hunt today. With a sad look at the lonely bow strings he remembers he has to make a new bow first anyways. He shrugs - and regrets it immidiantly - and then finishes his tea and gets up. He puts his things back into his pockets and tries to tidy up a bit, remembering how mad his mother always used to get when he had used her things without putting them back into their place, and leaves the hut to find some water to wash himself.
