The fire grew quickly, it was so warm... Robin gave him a nod and then say down by pit warming her hands. She certainly could see why Odette liked him so much, though he was almost too perfect for her tastes.

At her nod, he took his horse to the creek and tied the reins to a tree, giving it plenty of slack. The horse immediately bent it's head to drink. Taking his water flask, Derek filled it at the creek and removed the saddles bags and returned to camp. He set the saddle bag between them, and offered her the flask.
After a few minutes, he fully skinned and gutted the rabbit and put it on a stick to begin roasting it.

Rabbit... It smelled delicious. Robin discreetly wiped the moisture from her lip. She felt a little awkward in the silence,"A lovely catch, so I take it you hunt?"

Derek blinked. He had been so focused on what he was doing, that he had started to ignore his guide. He blushed, embarrassed and feeling guilty. He quickly cleared his throat to speak, "I do a lot of hunting with my friends, Rogers and Bromley." he said, and smiled at an amusing memory.

His blush was some-what satisfying,"Yeah, did either of them teach you or did you teach yourself?"

"Rogers was the one who taught both myself and Bromley; and we've both learned a few things on our own." he said, and turned the rabbit on it's stick, putting a bit of seasoning on it as he did so.

"Well as soon as your done there I'd love a taste" As if on cue her stomach started gnawing at her again, worse now that she could smell the food.

He chuckled lightly at her comment, and a moment later the meat was done. He gave her the bigger portion since she'd been traveling, and also her pick of bread rolls and fruit, and offered her water from the flask. As he did this, he spoke, "So what about you? What do you do?"

Robin took a huge bite out of the meat and a swig from the Prince's flask. She took the moment to think of a good answer, she swallowed and answered simply,"I... Hunt and trap, but lately I haven't been finding too much out here..."

He nodded at her simple explanation. "It hasn't been very good here this year, but perhaps it will be next year. I hope it gets better for you while you are here."

"I probably won't stay here for too long," she said softly between bites,"but all the same it makes me wonder where the game has gone"

He nodded as he ate and paused after a swig from a second flask. "It could be because of the great animal; it may be scaring the animals away."

"Yes, I've heard rumors..." actually she heard of several, but the one in particular... The wolf, the one that had already killed so many people. It's too bad it never showed in King Johns throne room.

He nodded seriously, "It's been said to take many forms, mainly an enormous wolf that stands on it's hind legs, and with large wings for the forelegs. I've never actually seen it, but it's been spotted multiple times in the forest, and our farmers complain from a cattle or two going missing."

Wings? This was a new addition to the Wolf she had heard of.... nevertheless it could be possible," I've never seen the beast myself, not that I really want to...," She kind of half laughed," How.... How recently have these cattle been going missing?"
