Realizing that it has been quite some time since they small breakfast they had eaten back at the village.
Taking a metal box from his backpack, the monk uses a flint and steel to light the tightly packed tinder in the bottom of the box.
From the same pack he takes a little pot and pours some water from his bag into it.

Drawing his knife, the portly father cuts big chunks of dark bread and smoked sausage.
Laying out a clean cloth, he adds some dried fruit and some crystal sugar for the tea.
