"Yeah, I needed that," replied Whitney, leaning into the hug. "Come on now, breakfast is ready." The two sat down to the second hearty meal that Castella had enjoyed since coming to this strange new world. Whitney was the first to finish and went upstairs to change, wagging her tail the whole way. By the time she came back down, Castella had just finished her meal, and Whitney lead her out to the barn once they had cleared the table. Inside Castella found an old toboggan sled loaded with half a dozen sacks that were tied down with and ready for transport. "Well, here ya are, hun, one shipment of food for one dhole gone. Sorry I couldn't find anything else to put it on for you. Anyway, you got corn, carrots, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, and a few peppers for seasoning," she said with a proud smile.
Back at the kitsune mansion, breakfast was delicious and filling. Once everyone had eaten their fill, Ritsuko brought three sacks out into the living room and offered them to the group. Inside each of the sacks was a smoked ham and wheel of cheese, along with a bundle of biscuits, and several small jars of seasoning, all wrapped in wax paper. "You folks said you were looking for provisions for a trip, hopefully this will last you at least a little while." As she spoke, she made her way over to Elliana, and offered her a small scroll. "Here, it concerns the topic we were talking about last night before you fell asleep. If you ever decide to take the last step, just let your mage friend over there take a look at it, he should be able to help you with it," she said, with a smile.
