They walked around looking for food. Val spotted a rabbit and lay down in the snow, pointing her gun.
"Shhh."
She took the shot, hitting it cleanly. Picking up the rabbit, she said,
"We don't have any vegetables."
She started a fire to cook the rabbit. Meanwhile, she noticed King off to the side, training by swinging his sword. Val walked over.

Val sighed. "Let's end it."
King grinned. "No—I'm not done yet."

"I have to find them.
With a smile on his face, he started moving forward
