Stygian knew he really didn't have much time. Red wouldn't be able to sit still for long, just as he wouldn't without a distraction. It just wasn't in their natures. They were hunters and that meant they were constantly on the move. Being still just didn't suit them unless they had to be for the hunt.
Once he was outside he quickly headed back to where he had hidden the rope and made his way up to the meadow again. Once there he began the boring, but essential task, of stripping grasses of their grains and looking for wild vegetables.
It took him several hours, but by the time he was ready to leave he had a pack bulging with the bounty of his labor. He had found wild fruits and berries. Several nut trees, wild parsnip and carrots, fennel, and even some truffles and mushrooms. Added to that was herbs and edible flowers. It would be enough to keep them going for several days and stretch their meals out.
Knowing he wouldn't have to return to the clearing, he untied the rope and threw it down. It would be better to take it with them than leave it tied up out here. Climbing down carefully he gathered it up and then made his way back inside the cave. He hoped Red had not done anything too foolish or hurt herself again.
