Cain and Sylvia settled in the forest, making a large campfire for both of them. Both just sat there, making gentle chirping noises at each other. These noises weren't born from vocal cords, but instead vibrations created from dark magic, a language of sound Cain and Sylvia invented to communicate with each other. (Everything here is an English translation of this unique language.)
"That was fun, wasn't it, Cain?" Sylvia asked.
"It was... I think I learned a lot. But my journey isn't over yet... I still need a lot more training if I want to defeat father..." Cain said back, still just straddled on top of Sylvia's shoulders.
"Well, that's true. I also probably need some more training as well... But we both have time! You should loosen up a bit Cain, I'm sure you'll do just fine at your trial." Sylvia said with a smile.
"I hope so to, Sylvia..." Cain said as she shot up, "Do you hear that?" She heard a rustling in the bushes.
"Yeah, I did. It's probably a deer. Don't tell me you want to have deer for dinner again?" Sylvia asked as Cain nodded.
"Deer's have a lot of protein. I bet if we eat it raw it'll taste good." Cain said.
"But we always eat it raw! Can't we cook it this time? I read a lot about a bunch of other cooking techniques, and deer tastes really good when prepared properly!" Sylvia said happily.
"Well, I'd be willing to try that, if you think it's good... I've never had cooked food..." Cain murmured.
"As a daughter of Rakshashin nobility, you really should be getting better treatment! Cmon, I'll make you a proper meal tonight!" Sylvia exclaimed, "Do you want to kill it or should I?"
"Don't worry, I can." Cain said, summoning a thin needle to her hand which she swiftly threw into the bushes, the sound of it piercing something's skull lingering for a few moments. "There. It's dead." Cain said as Sylvia nodded, moving over to pick up the corpse.
"Can you dismantle it for me? Your all good at cutting things up and stuff..." Sylvia asked, chuckling awkwardly.
"And here I thought I was the one who was supposed to be getting treated..." Cain said, reshaping the needle she used to pierce the deer's skull into a thin blade which she used to skin it and remove its organs in a matter of moments. "Do you also want to cook the organs?"
"Nah, I don't know how to make organs..." Sylvia said as she kneeled down, holding the skinned deer over the fire and using what knowledge she could remember from her cook books to try and not char it. She held the deer over the fire for around 25 minutes, and when it was done, she sat down and used her legs as a plate so she didn't get the food dirty or muddy. With her stature, her legs were more than large enough to serve as plates for it. Sylvia used her hands to tear off a piece of the cooked meet, handing it to Cain who was still on Sylvia's shoulders.
Cain opened her mouth, revealing a hilariously sharp set of teeth, akin to a shark's as she chomped down on the cooked deer. "Hmmm... I like it better raw. Has more blood."
Sylvia pouted and chuckled a bit, "What are you, a Vaewolf?"
"The blood makes it juicier, and when you put it over the fire you get rid of all the juices..." Cain said, explaining her preference. "I do appreciate the effort, though..."
"Well, I'll just eat the rest myself, then! Not like either of us can get hungry that easily anyway." Sylvia said, just beginning to pick off pieces of meat and plopping them onto her saliva dripping tongue, swallowing them whole.
After that, they were both silent for most of the time until Sylvia asked a question. "Hey Cain, why were you acting like that around Khadgar?"
"Like what?" Cain asked, moving to sit on Sylvia's legs once she had cleared the deer from them, leaning back into her stomach.
"You were acting all nervous around him and stuff like that!" Sylvia asked, "Do you still not trust them?"
"You know I don't trust them." Cain said, "The Jeanne girl seems reliable... And Khadgar doesn't seem to bad now, at least... But I don't much care for the rest of them."
"Their nice people! Or at least I think they are. They haven't tried anything bad with us!" Sylvia said, letting out a yawn which neither of them paid any mind to.
"Maybe your right... I assume we'll be traveling with them, so we have time to see... Should we get to training?" Cain asked as Sylvia slowly began laying backward.
"Mmmm... Yeah... Let's get... training..." But she fell asleep.
"Sylvia? Sylvia?? Did you fall asleep!? Hey, wake up!" Cain tried to wake Sylvia, but to no avail... As her size suggested, she also slept like a boulder as well, her snores making sounds that could be heard all the way from the forest to the village inn.
"Your so carefree..." Cain grumbled, laying backward as well and scooting over Sylvia's belly, laying her head down on Sylvia's breasts, using them as pillows. She figured that if Sylvia was going to skip out on training, she may as well do it as well, since she didn't have a training partner. Though, that hadn't stopped her before, so maybe she just wanted to sleep with Sylvia... Whatever.
Cain shifted around a bit before just falling asleep as well. It'd been many weeks since either of them slept, so both of them would probably stay like this for quite a while unless disturbed.
