Chapter 10 by Seserith Seserith

What's his answer?

To set up the camp for her

"Sure, I'm ready to set up camp now if you want," Jerry said brushing past her and walking into the clearing. Now was the time to show Titania that he wasn't a burden, and it didn't hurt that he long ago got bored wandering around the forest.

"Well, I suggest you stay here and watch our equipment while I go and get some firewood," Titania said placing her small pack near him.

"I...wait what?" Jerry spluttered looking at her. "I was just about to volunteer."

"Yeah, well I appreciate the thought but don't," Titania said as she fished a small hatchet out of her pack. "You hired me as a guide because I was the one with the best survival skills and knowledge of this forest, just let me do my job." She said standing and walking towards the edge of the clearing.

Now Jerry didn't want to point out that he remembered doing no such thing. However, he also didn't want to have to explain his lack of knowledge on that front either. Naturally, that left Jerry with very few options. "Okay, then I guess I'll set up the rest of the camp while you're doing that then," Jerry said with a frown as she walked out of the clearing with no response. "Okay, talk about a lack of faith." Jerry thought with a shake of his head.

"Well now, where do I start?" Jerry wondered aloud as he glanced around the clearing. He had never been an avid camping fan in the past. As far as he was concerned the less time he spent outside the better. That said it wasn't as if he had no tricks up his sleeves. A minor mental command to focus on the tilde key was all it took to activate developer mode, and he had all the options in the world.

Jerry sighed as the world around him stilled and fell silent. He moved the cursor over to a small twig that lay a few feet nearby and selected it. A few seconds later in edit mode and he had transfigured the twig into a rather impressive and clean brick fire pit. A few minutes later and he was standing in the middle of an exceptionally well-made campsite. Jerry felt a spark of pride as he looked on to the camp he had made.

There a safe distance away from the fire pit stood a large grey tent he had made by transforming a single strand of grass. Inside there were two large and undoubtedly comfortable bedrolls; especially considering Jerry had made the blanket and bedding out of fine elven silk. A finely crafted kettle and pot sat on the brick of the fire pit, and he wondered briefly if he should fill the kettle with tea before deciding against it. It gave them something to do once Titania got back from gathering firewood.

"Is there anything I can't do?" He thought with a laugh. To celebrate the occasion (and to hopefully make it easier to get into Titania's shorts later) he decided to make ****. Jerry hovered the cursor over a small stone nearby and transfigured it into a brown wineskin. He selected it again and then read the item description.

Wineskin

Adventuring Gear

Category: Items

Item Rarity: Standard

Weight: 5

Description: A wineskin can hold up to 4 pints. It's common for many adventurers to drink on the job, and when they do it's often from their trusty wineskin. Usually holds ale or cheap wine; however sweet mead isn't too uncommon. This wineskin is empty

Jerry thought for a moment and then edited the description to fill the wineskin with the sweetest elven mead. He then exited developer mode and picked up the now filled to bursting point wineskin. "I think my job is done here," Jerry thought as he smiled and sat near the tent.

How does the night go?
