Given that the prey was outnumbered by so many predators, the fight wrapped up in a flash. The process of butchering the monster and moving its parts took much longer in comparison, given the size of it all.

The plan was to make camp here, then begin the journey back to the capital first thing at dawn. The slightly sloped field made for a good resting place for the men and their horses. When mealtime came around, some knights lit fires, but most of them brought out their camp stoves. The man with eyes of liquid gold inspected his own stove, stamped “Rossetti,” then set it on top of the waterproof cloth.

Dorino came asking, “Yo, Volf, which one would you like: beef or the spoils of our battle? Or both?”

“I’m good. I’ve brought my own.”

“What do you have in there?” He pointed to Volf’s leather sack chilling on some ice crystals.

“It’s leftover beef from lunch that I’ve got marinating.” It was the same barbecue sauce that Dahlia had made for the rest of the squad, but this one was tweaked just a little bit—lighter on the honey, heavier on the ginger, and with a slightly different balance of herbs and spices to suit Volf’s tastes.

“Ah, so it’s Ms. Dahlia’s cooking, then? Lucky bastard...”

“I offer you a trade,” said Randolph.

“No, thank you!”

“Aw, come on, man. At least share your secret sauce. We’re leaving first thing in the morning, so it’s not like you’ll be able to finish it all anyway,” Dorino said, sighing.

Volf weighed his options. “Two spoonfuls. And ten people max.”

“How stingy can you be, Earl Scalfarotto?! Hell, your family’s about to rise to the rank of marquis!”

“That has nothing to do with anything!” As the schoolboys argued, there was a tug on Volf’s sleeve.

“Um, would you please give me some, Sir Volf?” Kirk pleaded. “I’ll give you half of my wine in exchange.”

Volf looked into his green puppy-dog eyes and lost the battle of wills. “Oh, uh, sure...”

The older knights started whispering amongst themselves. “Damn. Kirk’s a force to be reckoned with.”

“Fine. I offer you a spoon of jam in exchange,” Randolph said.

“I’m not huge on sweets...”

“Oh, but it’s from the store that Miss Dahlia introduced me to?”

“Forget about the trade for a moment, Randolph. When and where did your conversation take place?” Volf glared at his friend.

Randolph looked back with a coy smile. “Hm. I wonder...”

“Ease up on the teasing, Randolph! He’s about to start seething real soon,” chided Dorino. “And Volf, you can stand to be a little more generous. The rest of you can roshambo for some!” What followed was a series of desperate battles of rock paper scissors that lasted for quite some time.
