As I was trying to say, I’m not sure, it would depend on if their nest had any underground rivers or lakes to fish from. If not, she may never have had such a thing down in her home,” she explained before the girls turned to Squeak, the ant girl just examining her meal questionably.

“Try it, it’s really good,” Specca insisted. Squeak hesitated for a moment then slowly took a small bite out of her fish, chewing off the meat and munching on it while the others watched her curiously. After a few seconds Squeak quickly spat the food out and shook her head while wiping her tongue with her hand. She handed the fish over towards Specca and squeaked with a disgusted expression on her face.

“I don’t think she likes it,” Triska said amusingly.

“Really? But it’s so good,” Specca said as she took the fish from Squeak. The ant girl shook her head and looked to the ones that were cooking over the fire with annoyance. Alyssa bit off more of her meal then glanced to seeing Daniel walking over to them.

“Ok, Lucky is finishing his dinner, how’s it coming over here?” he asked.

“Not too bad, have a seat, join us,” Alyssa offered while taking hold of her staff and tapping it on the ground, causing a large tree root and green vines to come up from the ground and curl downward to form another spot for the boy to sit on. Daniel looked at the makeshift pew with wonder then nodded as he joined the girls.

“That is just amazing how you do that,” he complimented, with Alyssa smiling bashfully and setting her staff down next to her. Daniel then picked up one of the sticks with a cooked fish on it and smiled curiously at it.

“Wow, these do look good, and you caught them all by yourself, Specca?” he asked looking to the nixie.

“Yes, it was no trouble at all, I hope you like them,” Specca said softly with a smile. Daniel nodded then looked to seeing Squeak watching the last cooking fish with a troubled expression.

“Squeak? What’s wrong?” he asked. Squeak looked to him then pointed to the fish while squeaking and shaking her head. Daniel nodded slowly then glanced to Specca, the nixie shrugging with a weak smile.

“She didn’t quite care for it, I don’t believe she likes fish,” she explained. Squeak nodded and looked down while holding a hand over her stomach as it grumbled a bit. Triska glanced to her for a moment then quickly ate the rest of her meal before tossing the stick into the fire. She then stood up and walked over towards the caravan.

“Where are you going?” Specca asked.

“Going to get something for Squeak to eat, she needs something for dinner too,” Triska reasoned before she hopped up onto the ride and went inside. Squeak watched her leave with a curious eye while Daniel smiled a bit from hearing Triska saying that.

“Oh boy, I can only imagine what she’s going to make for her,” Alyssa said dryly before biting into her fish again.

“You really don’t like Triska, do you?” Specca asked with a raised eyebrow. Alyssa remained quiet while Daniel looked around at seeing everyone falling silent, the crackling of the fire being the only sound heard.

After a while Triska came back out from the caravan, carrying her duffel bag in one hand as she hopped down onto the grass and walked over towards the group. Setting her bag down on the ground behind her seat at the campfire she started sifting through while everyone watched her curiously except for Alyssa, the witch merely giving the human a dull stare.

“Let’s see here… well, like I mentioned I only have basic ingredients with me, is that ok?” Triska asked looking to Squeak. The ant girl nodded while her antennae twitched slightly. Triska rummaged through her bag then brought out a small pouch, which contained some bread that she pulled out and started cutting with her dagger. She paused then glanced to Daniel with a weak smile.

“Um… its ok if I still use this, right?” she asked. Daniel just nodded while watching the girl curiously. Triska smiled and cut some pieces of bread apart before placing the rest back in the pouch. She then put it away and pulled out a small tin container which had lettuce in it, then another which had some cheese, then another which had some jelly that she spread onto the bread with her dagger, then she took out another pouch which had some apples in it which she grabbed one from, and then she pulled out a small white cloth to use as a napkin, the girl putting together a sandwich for Squeak while the group just stared at what she pulled out of the bag.

“Seriously, how did you fit all of that in there?” Specca asked carefully.

“What are you talking about?” Triska answered as she placed the freshly made sandwich and apple on the napkin before handing it towards Squeak. Everyone just stared at her in silence as she held the food out to the ant girl.

“Here, nothing fancy, but it should taste good nonetheless,” Triska offered with a shrug. Squeak slowly took the food and looked at it curiously while Triska put away the rest of her supplies before pulling out a cylindrical container and five cups, with the group watching as she poured water into each cup before putting the container back.

“Not going to lie and say the fish was bad, but it does make you thirsty, so here,” Triska said while holding a drink out towards Specca. The nixie just stared at her for a moment, glanced to the duffel bag, then looked at Triska with puzzlement.

“How…” she said softly.

“It’s just water,” Triska assured while shaking the cup a little. Specca slowly took hold of the drink as she looked from Triska to the duffel bag then back to the human again while showing a confused expression. Triska handed Squeak a cup of water, then another to Daniel, and then handed one towards Alyssa who just raised an eyebrow at her.

“It’s just water,” Triska repeated.

“You’re only doing all this to make Daniel think you can be good again,” Alyssa said flatly. Triska gave her a dull glare and lightly shook the cup at her.

“I’m trying to be nice here, there’s nothing wrong with that,” she stated.

“You’re not fooling anyone, you’re just trying to get on Daniel’s good side since your turn is tonight,” Alyssa accused sharply.

“All I’m trying to do is hand you some water to wash that fish down with, quit being such a little bitch and take it,” Triska shot back.
