PM to join Hunting Zith Style

[Purge]

Purge breathed quietly and deeply, testing her ribs carefully. She thought that the rib was broke but only a little, she was able to breath without too much trouble so there was nothing wrong with her lungs. She continued to chew the raw meat hungrily, the blood dripping from her fingers without much care. She also listened to the other woman's words carefully, nodding in some instances and at the end grinned with a little blood matting the fur at her chin.

"I not .. in Kalinor long." Purge said easily, her hunger sated a little and just as she thought the food in her belly starting to make her feel better already. She gingerly leaned forward, one hand holding her side but she grabbed a stick to stir the entrails she had thrown into the fire around. She had no clue when they would be considered done, as her meals were almost exclusively raw.

"Small not .. right word." Purge said easily. "Not .. Small..." She held her hand horizontally flat indicating height. " Small..." With this she picked up a stick and held it between her hands, snapping it in two pieces. "Small." She repeats with a satisfied smile. "Zith eat meat straight. Zith not small." However she did understand to a degree with the other woman was telling her. It perhaps was the same thing as the slaves, if they ate meat raw like zith often they got sick many died.

"Try cooking. Never have before." She said conversationally, indicating the blackening entrails. With the same stick she had stirred it with she hooked the stringy entrails, and dragged it from the fire. The flesh was black and smoking, and she rolled it in the snow a little to cool it off. "Want.. um.. dissolve?" She tried the unfamiliar word on her tongue, with a quirk of her head as she offers the other woman a section of blackened meat that she tore from the rest.

[Sayani]

So the Zith was new in Kalinor. This explained why she didn't seem very familiar with the way the Symenestra ate, but also explained why Sayani had never seen Purge around before.

"You mean thin?" Sayani asked, when Purge tried to explain to her what she had meant. "Thin and weak. Not very nice. But I can't say it isn't true." the Symenestra were indeed fragile people, and they definitely were thin, so Sayani didn't mind the others words. They were true, after all, and to deny it would be just foolish. However, she doubted it was because how they ate, but said nothing. Purge was right, to a degree, and there was no use trying to explain to the other something she didn't even know well enough.

Purge then offered her a piece of her toasted meat, and Sayani took it. "Thank you." she said, nodding her head, before biting the meat. She wasn't really sure if it would work, specially since she wasn't a cook herself, and she always bit the meat before heating it, on the rare occasions she did heat her food. She placed the meat on the crude bowl she had carved on the wood, and waited. If this worked out, then the meat would be dissolved, which would mean that it would be messy and just plain stupid to hold it in her hand.

She grabbed the sheep she had shot earlier and bent down once again to see if at least some of the meat had been dissolved already. The Symenestra managed to eat a little, but most was still intact. Her venom wasn't really strong right then, and the prey was already dead when she bit, so it would take a really long while for her venom to spread, without the help of the heartbeat.

"You can eat this one." Sayani said, after she had finished. "Only the legs. I don't want you eating any venom." it was something interesting, too, knowing what would happen if someone ingested some of the Symenestra's venom, but Sayani wouldn't test this on Purge, even less when they were in the wilderness.
