Raine reached over and accepted the items from Flake, her eyes scanning the words on the page as her ears listened to what her companion. "We should probably utilize that deer supply at one point to make dried meat for our future travels." Was all she said before falling silent once more, nodding slightly at Flake's next statement. "That sounds like a plan. Until we're ready to move on to the next stage, I guess we'll have to find ways to occupy ourselves here." Silence engulfed the pair once more, both too deep in their own thoughts to really care. Eventually, the assassin got tired of sitting still and gave her hands one last brisk rub in front of the fire before getting to her feet. "I'll be downstairs if you need me." And with that statement, she receded down the stairs without another word.

Inhale. Exhale slowly. Arms up, right leg up...and go. Raine put her foot down and used the forward motion as momentum to send her body forward and up onto her hands, completing her hand stand. [i]Okay, I'm doing good. My arms aren't trembling and my breathing is controlled...[/i] Maybe this would finally work after her sixth time trying...or maybe not. The assassin's vision swam and for a moment, she blacked out as she crumpled to the floor with a loud thud. "It seems as if I've really over worked myself now..." Raine mumbled breathlessly as she came to only a few seconds later. Deciding that it wouldn't be wise to move around, the woman waited for the little black dots in her vision to go away, assessing the situation as she did so. She had done everything that she usually did to get the stiffness out of legs and arms: toe touches, leg and arm stretches but, as soon as she tried to do a hand stand, she had gotten dizzy and fallen over. [I]Maybe it's because I went down too quickly...or maybe it's because of this stupid dress thing.[/I] Sure, the dress that was way too big kept falling slightly into her face when she went to do a handstand and made the woman want to take it off and toss it into the fire upstairs but...her excuses were weak and she knew that the actual cause of her failure was because of the little bits poison that lingered in her body. Despite that, Raine was determined to do one handstand without falling but, in the end, she only ended up making herself feel worst. "Yup, that was a stupid thing to do." She scolded herself; oddly enough, she could picture Oruin saying the same thing to her if he had been in the room with her. Knowing that the next best thing that she could do at this moment was rest, the assassin moved over to her temporary bed before lying down, falling asleep almost instantly.

The next time that Raine woke up, it was because of the hunger that once again gnawed at her insides, causing her to frown slightly. She figured she must've been sleep for quite a while if her food that she had eaten hours before had now settled. [I]At least I don't feel dizzy anymore...[/I] The assassin thought to herself as she jerked the cloth of the dress back onto her exposed shoulder. The dress was about as annoying as the grumbling in her stomach and Raine knew exactly how to fix the problem...though after scanning the surrounding area, the woman wasn't so sure that she would find the materials she needed to do so. Figuring that her only other option would be to search around upstairs, Raine slowly got to her feet and ascended the stairs. As she neared the top, the assassin noted that dealing with her hunger would be easier to do than to find sewing materials so, instead of searching around, she turned to Flake.

"Would you like some deer for dinner?" The woman asked with a slight smirk as she took out the short sword she found downstairs and impaled it into the table beside her. Sure, she did not have all of her energy back up but she should be able to snag a deer that runs slower than the rest or a few small animals at least in her current condition.
