The downpour didn't stop until shortly before dusk, and even then, the rain didn't go away entirely. A gentle drizzle remained, so Elion created a dome of water above them while Nora prepared their food.
They had eaten dried rations in the morning on their way to the ruins, so this would only be their second meal of the day.
Since they already knew that the tentacle monster's flesh was edible, they cooked that first before eventually roasting some of the wolf meat over the fire so that they could try it out.
The wolf meat wasn't so bad in the end, though it was rather tough, just as Cole had expected.
They ate everything while gathered around the fire, chatting among themselves as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon, after which Elion let the curtain of water he had been holding above them fall.
The light drizzle began to reach them once again, drawing an excited exclamation from Yaana.
