Snippet #1294378

Kain walked down to the river. He quickly dumped the solid plant bits, and then put his shirt in the stream to clean off. He scraped all his equipment and then set that away from the water. Using a bowl, Kain scooped out some water and went to rinse his equipment off. If he washed the tools directly in the stream, the water would be poisoned for several miles, and many would die. Kain was not so heartless that he would do that. As he returned for more water, Kain heard faint noises. He followed and he saw the thief swimming in a pristine little clearing. Kain briefly considered throwing some poison n the water, but left to continue his cleaning. "Damnation and Hellfire, that would have rid me of a very annoying little tick." Now that the most volatile poisons were removed, Kain went and washed the equipment directly in the river. After everything was clean, Kain hung up his shirt to dry, and set his equipment near the fire. He then went into his shelter, cleaned out the remains of his fire, and then prepared for sleep. He brought in all his supplies, packed them, and then set up several traps in the entrance of his shelter. Kain didn't trust the thief at all. Setting his gun close by, Kain allowed himself to drift off to sleep.
