Then they’re given the options and the redhead thinks that for once, she might want to pick an activity that suits her instead of being the last to post waiting for the others, Lily’s ears proverbially pick up at the mention of wood and a fire.

The entertainer waits for a second before traipsing into the woods, looking for drier stuff of various sizes. She can’t haul a proper log back, but there are some dead trees that seem like they might be easier to break down. Starting with what would be good for kindling, Lily kicks aside leaves until she finds dry bits, collecting enough to get a fire going before returning for the next size up, breaking branches over her knee until she has an armful. Eager to get that started and then search for the bigger pieces later, she takes out a tinder box, arranges the kindling in a log cabin structure, and then strikes her flint, hoping to set it alight.
