Last Minute Prep

[googledox]

We don't know how much the Crows can be trusted but if what they said about our existence attracting the eye of unknown enemies is true, we shouldn't shelter in place for long. Now that we've decided on a course of action, we need to prepare for the journey ahead.

I can't do much trapped in this place [The stone walls of the Brugh can be seen behind him] but I figured the least I could do is initiate this conversation.

A fifty mile journey by air may entail a significantly different route by foot and we need to anticipate everything from weather, to how to store water, to our calorie intake needs.

Calories.

[ He's too medieval for this shit! ]

From the context, I'm guessing it probably has something to do with food.

It's a number assigned to different foods based on how much energy your body can make of it. Basically, you can think of calories as a way of measuring how filling the food is, and calorie intake as how many calories a certain person needs. It varies on age, size, how much exercise you get.

Someone made "starving or not starving" that complicated?

[ Wow, sounds like that must've been somebody who's never been starving. ]

Well, it does tie into other things, for nutrition- uhh, that's basically how to use food to be healthy. Like how you can't live off rabbit meat alone.

When you have that much choice about it, anyway.

[fiteclub]

You can starve off of eating rabbit by itself.

[A wild lesson, learned from a childhood that sometimes involved her grandmother being paid in fresh meat.]

I'm used to eating whatever I can get, because I'll starve a lot faster if I get choosy.

[ Beggars can't be choosers, and thieves...well, can only marginally be choosers, in his experience, if they want to stick with the targets of opportunity that have the lower chance of them being caught. ]
