The snares were empty today, prompting him to move them to other locations and hide them better. He then set about gathering berries from several bushes in the area that hadn't been ransacked both other animals fattening up for the winter months coming on. He managed to fill a small leather sack with them, and it would be enough to add to a meal or two. They could also dry them.
Then he set about moving among the brush to search for tracks, going so far as closer to the road where he could at least find an outcropping to peer in that direction. No one had come this far human activity wise, but he made note of tracks that was definitely from one of the creatures that he had freed.
He reckoned it shouldn't be able to get to their cave, but they would have to keep a weathered eye out. Likely it had been drugged like Gabe and needed space and time to recover. It could also attack one or both of them if they left the cave.
Once his rounds were done, he returned to the creek to gather water for them and then began to head back up the slope to the cave itself, being certain to cover his tracks. It was twilight when he hauled himself up with their little bounty and he noted the gorgon sleeping by the fire. Good.
Setting down the bucket of water near their 'cooking' area, he unloaded his pack quietly and then seated himself nearby.
