big sister

"Look well, Atan!"

Catherine swung her dagger and with one movement split the tree trunk into plank-like slices. Then he looked at Atan, who was holding his head down, and said:

"Me and look, you weren't shy.

Look and learn, maybe later I won't be the one to remind you, do you want to always eat raw meat?

Athan's ears were slightly reddened, he stared into Catherine's soothing eyes and nodded.

Catherine began to speak again.

"First, you collect leaves and soft wood and cut the middle of the board in the form of a hollow groove."

And without pausing, he did the same motion, then placed some leaves at the end of the board. He took a thin stick from among the firewood and started scratching it on the board.

"Look, it's so easy!"

After some time, some ashes were sprinkled on the leaves, Catherine squatted on the ground and started blowing in the ashes. At this time, Athan was staring at Catherine's cheeks more than paying attention to the lighting of the fire, not even a percent chance that he would see such a delicious scene from her one day.

The fire was lit, Catherine raised her head and looking at Athan said:

"How was it, why did you stare at me like that? Was it that great?

Atan was still staring at him in astonishment and did not react.

"Athan?"

"Yes, master.....it was great!"

"Okay, don't be so excited, prepare the food. We spend these few hours together as a short break in hell. After this, we have to look for the others."

"I understand, master, I will do it very soon."

Atan was preparing the meat and skewering it with thin sticks when Catherine picked up the leopard skin from the ground.

"It's very cold in the dungeon and I, as a weak woman, can't resist the cold, although it's not beautiful at all, I'll cut your hair as a price!"

Atan Kadetha was thinking of making a dress with leopard skin and Catherine's words hit his heart like an arrow, he didn't know what to say, he unconsciously whispered:

"But Master!"

"do you have a problem?"

"No, but you admitted that you intended to cut my hair!"

"Don't worry, I'm doing this for my own honor."

Atan smiled and answered:

"thank you Professor!"

Catherine laughed upon hearing these words and said:

"Are you really stupid?"

"Whatever you want, I will be the master!"

"Well now don't talk nonsense and bring the food sooner."

"OK!"

Soon the food was ready, after eating it Katreni spread the leopard skin on the ground and lay down on it, Atan also leaned on a stone nearby and stared at Katerine.

He wanted to say something, but every time he opened his mouth, there were no words.

Catherine noticed this, as if she could guess what he wanted.

"Something happened, Athan!"

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"You grew up, you know?"

"Please, big sister, I can't take it anymore!"

"Weren't you supposed to stop calling me like that?"

"do not bother me! I am very tired...."

Catherine opened her hands and said:

"Just this one night! Are you grown up now and still act like a child?

"It's your fault! Why did you have to hug me whenever I was sad?"

"Because you were a child!"

"But now..."

"now what?"

"I need it, sister!"

"come here! »

Atan lay down on his back and Catherine hugged his waist, whispered by his ear and said softly:

"Do you want to cry?"

"May I?"

"Relax Baby!"

"Thank you, I'm sorry for bothering you and as always you have to bear my misfortunes!"

"You're still a kid!"

"Are you disappointed?"

"No, I'm glad to have you!"

"Are you treating me like your property again?"

"What if you're not, you can go and own the slate right now!"

Atan wiped his tears and said:

"Thank you for giving me peace!"

"Sleep well, Atan."

"Good night big sister!"

"Good night my little one!"
