"Ahh~ We used clothes back home because they could be washed, or a steel mesh thing that held it. Easy to loose in the field though. I'll add some creamer and sugar, its gunna be pretty strong." Draig pulls out the can of pre-mixed sugar, chocolate powder and hydrated milk and mixes it in. "Here you are. I hope you like hot chocolate, that's kinda how it will taste." After fixing himself a big cup, he grabs the blankets and sits behind Beta, covering her with the blankets and himself. "If it's too much let me know, there's plenty more coffee and I can make it differently."

Beta stuck out her tongue, “I’m sure it’s fine, you dork.” Beta chimed, taking the cup, sipping it carefully as to not burn her mouth. “Mm- see, it is good.” The bionic snickerd. With a small sigh when the blanket was wrapped around her, Beta glanced over to Draig. “Thank you~” She hummed in a sing-song tone.

Rolling his eyes, Draig takes a pull of the caffeinated beverage. "Ah... You're welcome. Fortunately, you stacked the wood well so we can sit like this a while longer before I have to get up to start cooking. Speaking of which. I don't have much to work with now, but for future reference what are your favorite breakfast foods?"

“Hm... Breakfast foods? Well I don’t really know. Back home, I was always so busy it was very, very rare I even ate breakfast. Maybe that’s something we can actually do now then... it’d be nice to eat with people for once.” She sighed, “Usually id eat by myself.” The bionic shrugged, looking thoughtfully towards the fire.

"It's decided then! When our house is made, I'm gunna make a breakfast buffet so you can learn a bunch of new foods! You aren't allowed to eat alone ever again you hear me? That's a bunch of poop." Draig pulls Beta in closer, thinking of the pain she must have gone through with such a cold and uncaring life.

Beta chuckled, setting down her cup and leaning back onto him. “Well I won’t refuse, it’d be nice to get to try more breakfast foods. And- it’s always nice to spend time with you.” She winked, taking the cup in hand again and sipping it. “And hey, I can cook.” Beta grinned, “I could always help out. It was one in the few skills I picked up and liked while living in a strict household.”

A smile pulls at the corners of Draig's mouth, at the words of Beta. "Enjoying time with me AND being able to cook! Wow! I am truly lucky indeed! I'd love to cook with you! It's been faaarr too long since I've had some one to cook good food with. Maybe I'll be able to get good at it again. On that note though.... I hope you don't mind it may take a bit for me to be... Domesticated again. I've been out and about for a very long time now. I don't remember how to function in a "home" any more and it may take a bit for my rough edges to smooth out. I promise to do my best, though."

“Aw I’m sure that’s fine. You’ve had a hard life so of course there are gonna be some bumps in the roads when adjusting back to a normal life. So—“ Beta paused, nudging Draig, “That’s a reason why I’m here. To fix you up, hm?” She chuckled, nodding gently. “But yes, it’d be nice to cook with someone.”

Draig gently kisses the top of Beta's head as he sits there silently, for a noticeable stretch of time. "No. That is... Not healthy, for you or me. That is no responsibility anyone should carry. It is my task to fix myself. Your care and support along the way is of course most welcome and appreciated but please don't ever let it feel like its a task or some such thing. You will grow unhappy and worn out." Draig's tone is serious but his voice soft, just barely loud enough to be heard. "Don't ever let some one drag you down. No matter how much you care about them."

Beta glanced down, gritting her teeth at the response. “What you say... is true... But— you speak so solemnly... As if you’re going to, or could drag me down. And you know what?” She paused, setting down her cup. “I don’t really give a shit. Because you mean a lot to me and that’s all that matters. But. If it makes you feel any better. All you get from me is support and care.” The bionic huffed, slowly turning till she face the male. With soft eyes, Beta nudged his arm gently.

"Thank you." Is all Draig manages to choke out before hugging Beta tightly. As the hurricane of emotions begins to settle, he finds his voice once more. "Sorry about that. Your well being matter's, very much, and I've seen others piss their life and well being away trying to "fix" some one only to end up with nothing and to have been turned into an empty husk. Will I do that to you? No. But I don't want thing's to be too hard on you either. Especially since you've still got some soul searching to do and what not. After all... It's only now you really get to live judging from what you have told me. And just as you give me care and support, I shall do the same for you, because we're a team. Look out world! Here comes trouble!"

Beta chuckled softly, wrapping her arms around him. “I get where you’re coming, but it’s not gonna get to that point. So for now let’s not worry about it.” She breathed, nuzzling gently into his neck. “Mm- it’s too early for such a serious conversation.” The bionic mumbled sarcastically, snickering softly at the end.

"Hmmm~ You may be right about that. Never too early for your hugs though." As Draig closes his eyes and enjoys the tranquility of the moment, he grows silent and still for a time. Until his restless mind begins churning once more. With a sip of coffee, Draig bends around and inspects Beta's handgun as best as he can and hum's tom himself. "About the hunting... Wanna use your pistol or do you wanna go aboriginal and I can make you a spear, or atlatl or bow?"

“I’ll just use my pistol. I think I best use something that I’m more familiar with.” Beta mumbled, not moving. “I know we should get a move on soon, but I don’t want to move...” The female mumbled, gently tapping her claws against Draig’s back. “Just a few more minutes and I’ll get up and ready.”

With a yawn Draig hunkers down and cozies in around Beta. "Mmm that's ok, I'm not ready to move just yet either. I'm just an insufferable busy body whom can't relax. My hands or mind gotta always be doing something."
