We investigate the river that flows through the cave.
Lokum gazes dreamily into the water. "Think there are any fish in there?"
I don't know how he did it but he just reaches into the murky depths and within moments hauls a fish straight out of the water.
"Now thats lucky,"he says.
Then he does it again!
I look at the flapping fish on the shore, "I guess you'll be spending some time here then."
Ducim had been watching from the background and suddenly steps forward,"You know my father showed me how to clean these guys up ready to cook."

"Well we best get you somewhere set up to try out your skill," I say.
Looks like we aren't going to starve just yet.

I thought about home, it was just turning summer now, our first in the outpost and hopefully many more. Spirits were high but we had so many trials ahead of us.
