Morning Routines

After the party died down Hunter slept in his tent till an hour before sunrise. He woke up to do his usual training. His morning ritual of training kept him focused, and his skills in tact. During the time of his recovery he found it hard to deal with his restlessness since he could not work out. It felt good to feel the burn in his muscles as he ran around the camp then did his unarmed and armed Katas as well as his push ups, sit up and handstand push ups. Then he washed up and prepared to do a morning hunt.

As he and Voah were traveling on the way to the mine camp he kept track of the animals around the area. Once he was ready he made his way to the area where he had seen some cranes circled about. After nocking an arrow he slowly crept like a cat till he heard the sounds of the birds up ahead. Once he had the birds in his sights he aimed his arrow and began shooting arrow after arrow. In the end he managed to get four cranes. After recovering and cleaning his arrows he collected his prey and headed back to camp. Along the way he found some nuts and berries.

After preparing the birds, he collected the feathers in a bag and buried the rest. Then he went to his tent to get the cooking tools ready to prepare breakfast. Then he pulled some wild carrots from the pack as well as some seasoning. Then he started a fire and began cooking the crane breast steaks. He used some oil and seasoning on the steaks as they slowly cooked while he diced up the carrots and added them to the steaks to soak in the juices before he prepared two wooden serving plates for the steak and carrots. One meal was for Voah and one for himself. He had some extra in case they had a visitor or two. Then he began to eat his meal slowly as he waited for Voah to wake up.
