In a blur, Draig lunges forward and furiously pummels the branch with his heavily armored fist, snapping the branch in half. "HA! Teach you to hurt Beta's foot! <inert a stream of harsh sounding words that are foreign and one can only imagine very impolite>" By the time Draig has settled, there's a pile of splinters. Clearing this throat, standing up straight and brushing himself clean he clears his throat. "H-hey would you look at that! You found some kindling! Good job Beta!" He says awkwardly.

“Oh-“ Beta stared blankly down at what used to be a branch. “Well look at that,” She chuckled awkwardly, “I’m just so good at this I didn’t even have to move.” The bionic breathed. Stepping back again before kneeling down and wiping the sore patch on her foot. “Ouch I’m dumb-“ Beta grumbled, staring blankly before standing up.

Draig rubs his neck and sighs. "Yeah... S-sorry about that... I'm still working on the not being over protective thing...." Lowering himself down to Beta's foot, teal lights pockets Draig's hand as he gently places it over the sore area, effectively removing the damages from her blunder before giving where the injury was a quick kiss. "There we go, good as new." Draig quickly stands and turns away, still very much embarrassed over his out burst.

“Oh shush- it’s fine- If anything it shows you care.” Beta chimed softly as Draig turned away. “Don’t be so embarrassed by it,” The dame chuckled, rounding Draig before hugging him from behind. “You see, this is why I call you a big dork. It’s because you are.” She mused.

Draig rolls his eyes with a snort. "Uh hu~ Pretty sure Big Dumb or Big Crazy is probably more fitting. Anyways. All this has got me thinking we may need to get you some tools or something. Being able to easily make a fire is preeettyy important, especially if we will be living out here. I hate to say it but I'm not always gunna be glued to your side, as much as I may like to be. There will be times where I may have to do something different then you and then what? Or, even worse what would happen if something bad happened to me? You're new, and you're doing good, but we gotta get you whatever it is you need to so that you can be ok no matter what happens. Would you maybe want your computer system to record all this? It can do so."

“I- I suppose you’re right...” Beta stepped back, her arms falling to her side. “I guess we can do that in the near future.” She took two steps to the side. “But hey- Don’t feel like you need to stay at my side... If you have stuff to to do, go do it. Really- There’s stuff more important than baby sitting me-“ The female offered a halfhearted smile, glancing sideways up at him. “Oh and... I guess getting the computer system to record it... that’d be helpful.” Beta tacked on.

Giving Beta a curious look, Draig gently pulls her into a hug. "I don't mean now or hopefully any time soon. I'm here because I want to be. And NOTHING is more important than spending time with you. I am trying to prepare us both for the future, and the possibility that its not always going to go our way. The past bit has been great to us, but it would be foolish to assume there will be no hardships. And when they do occur, I want everything squared away so that no matter what happens, I'll at least know that you will be ok. That you will still have a home, food, and a future. Because I'm a big Dork. But I'm your big Dork, and home is where the heart is. Which is right here." Draig gently taps Beta's nose with a soft smile as he peers into her eyes, hoping that maybe she understands what he meant now.

Beta smiled softly, tilting her head just slightly. “All chirps and whirs.” The female hummed sarcastically, pushing up onto her tip-toes to kiss him gently. “Anyhow,” She winked and stepped back to the pile of wood which had been a branch, “Lets get this fire started, shall we?” Beta mused, crouching down and picking up several broken parts of wood to use.

Draig smiles and stares off into space for a moment, savoring the joy the kiss granted him. Not catching the full sentence from Beta, Draig shakes his head to snap out of the gaze and quickly observes what Beta is doing and fills in the blanks. Scooping up as much as he can, and covertly snagging some Juniper bark just in case, he follows behind Beta, his tail swishing through the air behind him as he hums happily.

Standing up with several broken parts of wood, Beta turned round and slipped over to where a fire had been made just the day before. “I can just use the same area as previous fires, yes?” The bionic looked over her shoulder back at Draig, kneeling down and dropping the wood.

"Hm?~ Oh, right you can use the same pit so long as its not full and as long as you add more green branches to the floor of it. If its full of ash and charcoal, I'd be happy to scoop it out for you." Draig offer's with a smile as he sets his gathered woods down.

“I’m sure it’s fine- there’s been what. Two fires made?” Beta flicked her ears back and gave a small, worried sigh. “But we need more green branches then—“ Slowly standing up, the dame ruffled the white tuft on her head. “Mmm... Where?” She hufffed, now worried that she was missing an obvious thing.

With a soft smile, Draig saunter's up to Beta and drapes an arm around her back, resting the hand on her hip. "Well lets think of it this way. They don't need to be able to burn well, just keep the fire out of the damp soil. And a green branch is any live branch. With that in mind, how do you want to deal with this? There's pretty much no wrong answer so long as you don't hurt yourself."

“I- I don’t know.” Beta admitted hesitantly, biting her tongue. Slowly, she stepped away before turning a full 360° and looking around with a blank stare. “There’s like... a lot- I don’t know what would work best.. or god I’m confused.” The female sighed, jaws clenching together as she tapped her foot on the ground.

Draig waves a finger and shakes his head "Ah ah ah, in this case its not really so much that something is going to work best. You just need green wood. If there is none you can use dry wood too. It really doesn't matter too much especially when its not wet. Don't think about it as what you don't know and just do what you DO know and just experiment and guess as you have to. This is a good, safe time and place to practice. You don't have to have it perfect yet love. We are just getting you used to these ideas. Its totally ok. Just relax and you'll do fine."
