"Let's start with fishing," she suggested. "I can get a fire going to cook them."

"I can take a shot at making a hook. And I think I have some string in my bag." Moby finished and stood once more. "We'd better start heading back now, though. It's hard to fish in the dark."

"Yeah. We should stay moving, anyhow. They might come looking for us around here.'

"That would be a good idea. But I will say, the only good thing about that particular gang is that they're lazy. Or, they can be anyway. It's best to stay on the move though, just in case." Moby shouldered his bag and pushed up his glasses. "Let's go back to our stream for now, but we might want to stay close to it when we start moving around. Until we can find a way to get a decent store of water, it's not safe to stray from anything reliable."

She nodded. "Besides, that barn is a really good place to camp. It's a roof, at least. I was thinking that if we decide to stay in it long-term, we should do something about the holes in the roof."

"We could patch it up with wood, or scrap metal if we can find any. Thatch might work too..." Moby said thoughtfully, finding the path they'd taken to the town and following deeper into the woods.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Moby agreed, giving Viola a small smile. He fell back to walk beside her, pausing to listen to the birdsong floating down from the canopy. Moby closed his eyes for a moment, thankful for the peace.

"Maybe we can even try to search for any other survivors. Benevolent, of course. Before the gang gets to them and adds them to the ranks."

"Maybe... I feel like more than three people would be inefficient though. And the gang's home territory is a city far north from here. Once they go back, it's unlikely they'll return here."

"The leader's embarrassed, I can tell you that. But if he goes after us and can't find us, it'll only worsen his humiliation and he'll lose prestige too. It's a safer bet for him to just say we're not worth it."

"If you say so," she shrugged, shoving her hands in her pockets. "We also need to start washing our clothes. We kind of smell."

"Yeah, this is the only outfit I have." Moby looked up at the treetops. "A bath would be nice too, even if it's a cold one in fast-moving water."

"Being clean is very important to stay healthy in the wild. It would also prevent any possible infections from microbes we've collected over the last few days."

"Viola," he said, giving her a look. "I've probably 'collected' enough microbes to last five lifetimes. To tell you the truth, the bath would be more for my mental wellbeing than anything."

She paused for a moment, lowering her head in embarrassment. "Yeah, sorry about that. I had forgot..."

Moby chuckled, patting her back. "It would do us good to clean up, you're right. I can't remember the last time my clothes were truly clean, to tell you the truth."

She wrinkled her nose playfully. You first, then. I'll be in the barn until you're decent."

"Alright, alright. My clothes won't exactly take a minute to dry, though. He looked up as the sound of running water became audible after a while. "Well, I'll uh, see you in a bit, then."
