Elanor didn't notice anything, she knew Regalis was there, so she didn't need to turn around. She knelt in front of the large tree and laid the rabbits on the grass. She gathered some dry branches and grass, disposing them on a conic structure, so the smoke would escape, then prepared some stronger branches to roast the meat. She took off her pocket two pieces of flint and rasped them to produce a spark. At first, the fire didn't light immediately. It took her several attempts to finally have a decent fire burning. Elanor frowned, and in some few minutes she took the skin off the three rabbits with her hunt dagger. She placed the meat over the fire and grabbed the leather pouch she had always taken with her, hidden under her cloak.
Inside it, there were many kinds of herbs. They were there for medical purposes, but Elanor knew some of them would add taste to the meat. She sprinkled the rabbits with thyme and rosemary, then sat back, waiting them to cook. ''Dreamsnare'' she called. ''We hunted some rabbits; want to eat?''
She closed her eyes. She had done all of this on about ten minutes, and she had to go wash her hands fom all the blood before she ate anything. ''Please, watch over the fire'' she asked Regais, then walked to the pond. The water was so refreshing... She washed her hands and face, then returned to the treehouse.
