Our still unnamed band of heroes begins to settle down after the long fight, setting up a campfire and heating up their food. Its starting to get dark, and it is thus likely this will be their campsite for the night. Their camping supplies are fairly limited, one hide sleeping bag for each of the humans, nothing but open air for the Deathclaw and newly found pet. While much better than bare ground, they get hot this time of year even at night.
Frank nibbles on "corn" while preparing the pelts. While the tanning process doesn't actually use fire, its light is necessary for accurate work now that the sun is gone, forcing him to take a seat by it anyway. He should have some perfectly usable pelts soon, if you want to try to do something with them other than selling for caps.
Radcat meat is stringy and lean, with the occasional tumor that you carefully remove while preparing the food. Using your pipboy to detect the radioactive parts, you are able to prepare something that seems to be perfectly edible. Roast radcat, with some of the salt Frank is using in the tanning. There isn't a lot of viable meat on these bones, but you will probably extend your rations by a few days, especially if you run into more later.
Hikano takes her spot next to the radcat, who is watching the fire and the workers with a look of worried curiosity. It happily eats the surprisingly tasty River King slice given to it, and sits staring at the young lady with eyes expecting more food. As the Deathclaw dumps some of the broken down trees near the fireplace, its ears raise and lower. It looks startled as the Deathclaw pets it, like it is about to jump out of its skin, but calms down quickly afterwords.
