Accepting Matt's food with a gracious smile, Vanelee began to take small bites out of the bear meat. The meat was extremely juicey, so bits of juice spilled out of the corner of his mouth on to his chin.
Not wanting to appear a slob, Vanelee took the end of his cloak and discretely wiped his chin, but as he did this his eyes met with Nina's, who had apparently seen the whole thing. She smiled as she tried to stifle a laugh, and her actions were met by a warm smile from Vanelee.
After the group had finished what they could of the bear meat, they packaged the rest in some spare cloth to be eaten later. Vanelee stood with a resolute look on his face and turned to the others.
"I think it's time we move on now. We have a mission, and we are lagging behind right now. I think we should move swiftly and try to reach the base of the mountains by night fall."
Vanelee waited for his companions to show their agreeance.
