We camped in a copse of trees, not far from a creek. The monotonous land had started to undulate a little just before dusk. The trees grew taller. I shot a rabbit with my rifle. We made a fire and cooked the meat and this time we had rice rather than potatoes and Jia used some of her spices and it tasted a whole lot better than my cooking. We fed and watered the horses and we washed in the creek, giving each other privacy, and we both drank tea and we talked some more, laughing as we recalled One Leg grinning secretly as he lay naked on the table the evening before. I took some time cleaning and loading her gun for her. Then we slept beneath the stars. In the middle of the night it grew cold and Jia carried her blanket across to where I was sleeping. She lay down against me and covered us both with her blanket. I listened to her breathing and she wrapped an arm around me. I think she did it in her sleep.
