"Yeah, I can use a second helping." Not that the verbal answer was required. Elijah was already helping him with a second serving and Cain was helping himself to it knowing they had plenty to spare. The creature was big, and if the meat could be kept from spoiling, they had enough here to last them a few weeks. They might be thoroughly sick of venison jerky by then, but the immortal was sure that they could find other game, and spices, and roots that might be eaten to accompany their meals.
"Thank you for this," Cain sighed happily as he ripped into the fresh meat that had the grease still dripping and sizzling from the fire. Until he got tired of it, he was going to enjoy it for all it was worth. "And thank you for doing the lion's share of the work this evening." He turned to give Elijah a kiss with greasy lips, laughing softly because he knew they won't have napkins to wipe them with anytime soon.
"It's got flavor, so don't worry. How does the blood taste? Passable?" Evening was already settling in and it was already getting dark outside of the ring of their fire's light. They would not be able to do more until they had more light in the morning, but Cain hoped they could weave some containers from leaves and turn most of the meat into jerky. "Thankfully we're not dropped in the rainforest, otherwise the meat will be done for before we can do anything with it."
He finally settled back after the second helping and just leaned contently against Elijah while watching the flames dance in their fire. "What do you think? Should we try to roast what we can tonight and deal with the smoking and drying tomorrow?"
