I wake up to Ash sleeping next to me. I close my eyes. Ash's arm falls on top of my arm and I open my eyes. Ash is staring at me. He then smiles at me. Rain pounds on the roof. I look up. Staring at the ceiling, a sigh escapes me.

"Morning, Shadow."

"Morning."

I sit up. Ash's arm falls against the bed.

"You want breakfast?"

He smiles.

"Yeah, sure."

I head into the kitchen and find the berries that I ate the other day. I take an arrow head and slice the stem. Having two handfuls of berries, I walk back to Ash. I hand him a handful. He looks at them hungrily. I sit down cross-legged on the bed next to him. I take a couple of berries and places them in my mouth. Chewing slowly, I satisfy my hunger. Ash shoves a whole bunch into his mouth. I laugh.

"Slowly. Jeez, Ash. When was the last time you ate?"

He swallows his berries and speaks.

"I don't remember. Probably 3 weeks ago."

I look at him in shock.

"Wow."

He smiles. Then he wraps me in a hug. He whispers in my ear.

"Thanks for the hospitality, Shadow."
