Elisa paused every once in a while to examine some new plant but otherwise just kept her eyes open as they walked.

After a few hours, when the dome was no longer in sight, Tony stopped and looked around.

"Break time? Anyone need a break?"

"Break sounds good," Clint said, still sounding distracted. Clara also nodded and stopped walking.

Elisa went over to examine a plant a few feet away, murmuring to herself as she examined it, occasionally touching a leaf.

Tony settled down with a little sigh, just taking everything in of the outside.

Clara passed around water canteens, making sure the water inside was cold and fresh. Clint, on the other hand, disappeared into the trees for a few minutes. When he came back, he was grinning broadly and had a large bird perched on his arm.

"Look at this," he said.

"Where in the world did you find that?" Elisa asked, her voice quiet and awed. "I've never seen a bird that big before."

Tony sat up and took notice too, although partially because it had talons.

"Isn't she gorgeous?" Clint asked, definitely pleased. "I caught a rodent for her, so she stuck around."

"She is gorgeous," Elisa agreed. "We'll see how long she sticks around, then." She smiled a bit.

Clint grinned widely.

"None of the others are going to believe this," he said. "Even with a blessing, I wasn't expecting anything quite like this."

"No one knows what to expect out here," Elisa said quietly. "It's not just dogs and deer out here, we've got so much more out here to potentially work with."

"I'm good with the bird for the moment," Clint said, gently smoothing some of the bird's feathers. "I'll look for something else later, once we've gone a bit farther."

Elisa shook her head and went to find a few edible plants for them to supplement their rations. Fortunately she could do that at least.

Clara went off to fill their canteens again. There was a stream nearby, she could feel it. Once she found it, she carefully made sure the water was pure and fresh and then filled the containers.

By the time she got back, Tony had started a fire for them, grinning.

"Just don't set me on fire," Elisa muttered as she started cooking. Tony just cackled.

Clara blinked.

"How did you get that going so fast?" she asked, looking at the fire.

Tony grinned and rubbed his hands together. Sparks flew from his hands, falling harmlessly into the flames.

"I'm even more awesome now."

Clara couldn't help but grin a bit at that.

"Nice," she said.

"Looks like we've got useful blessings between us," Tony said with a grin.

Elisa just rolled her eyes. "They wouldn't just leave us helpless," she reasoned, turning over the roots to cook more.

"So we'll always have fire and fresh water," Clara said. "And... whatever Clint can do with his bird-whispering." She grinned a bit, teasing.

Elisa snorted at that and shook her head. "And food," she pointed out. "Although we can have fresh meat too if Clint can get things to go hunting for us."

"I... Maybe," Clint said, considering it for a moment. He looked at the bird, which spread her wings and took off. Getting up, Clint followed, going into the trees again.

Elisa grinned briefly and kept cooking.

"I volunteer you to be in charge of cooking," Tony said.

"I'm fine with that."

Clara grinned.

"She's good at it," she said.

"So we should be good on food," Elisa said with a bit of a smile. "I think we'll be okay."

It took Clint a little while to come back, but when he did he came back carrying several rodents by the feet. They looked like rabbits, but a bit different; more like rabbits if they had been crossed with some sort of small cat.

"Found something," he said, holding up the catch. His bird friend circled overhead and settled in a tree.

"Wow. Great job, both of you." Elisa grinned. "Those look kind of freaky but they should taste fine."
