A few minutes after freshening up and eating, Mira was standing in the massive and silent kitchen with a big drawer full of cutlery that was all gleaming and sharp.
Okay, so let's see. What works for like, 'I'm a serious explorer' but also... 'I might need to carve a roast'?
She picked up a long carving knife and it felt heavy and quite dangerous in her hand.
Hmm, good for stabbing, probably.
She wrapped the blade in a kitchen towel, just kinda bundled it up. Next, she grabbed the serrated bread knife.
In case the wolf is particularly crusty, she thought, and then grimaced at her own stupid joke.
Finally, she added a little paring knife.
Just, you know, just in case. In case she needed to do some detailed work on a monster.
And then she shoved them all into her big leather tote bag.
The bag felt so heavy now. So suspiciously heavy as it clinked when she walked. She literally looked like a woman on her way to a really, really aggressive picnic.
