Chapter 2
“Real funny.” James’ face had sarcasm written all over it. “Fine. You cook this time. Let’s see if you can do any better.”
“You didn’t really set the bar high,” Tom laughed. “By the way, did you by chance find any cumin?”
“Yeah, sure.” James didn’t even bother to look at Tom – showing no signs he’s giving the herb over to him.
“So… Can you… Give it to me?”
“I didn’t find any, dummy, I’m just messing with you. But hey, I'll make sure to put it on the grocery list for next time.”
“There’s no need to be rude just because you can’t cook.” Tom poured some extra oil on the fire. “What did you find then?”
James reached into his pockets and pulled out some fresh and some dry herbs without even bothering to tell Tom about his findings. “This.”
“Just put it over there,” Tom pointed at the ground next to the skinned rabbit. “I’ll go clean my hands and you take care of the fire and prepare the spit, okay?”
“Sure. At least I can be of some use. I’ll go find some Y shaped sticks.” James called behind Tom – who was already on his way to his horse – while looking through the sticks he brought back from his last trip. “Must’ve forgot about those.” James got up and left to search for two Y shaped sticks he could use to make a spit.
