After the first initial panic, after scavenging and recon, the days and nights evened out and things fell into a rhythm. A dull, cold rhythm. The weather was dreary and terribly cold in the morning. After the first night when they woke up and could see their breath, Bond had made sure to bank the fire so it would be a bit warm by the time dawn came. The cats were rather pleasant company, he'd found. He'd never been one for pets, not since he was a boy, but he could see why Q liked them.
He woke before Q and put the kettle on. He also put his shoes on, just to keep his feet warm. Bond looked around the cottage and noticed things that might need patched. If the weather kept on like it was, he'd not be surprised to see snow soon.
The kettle began to boil and he poured two cups. As they steeped, he went into the bedroom where Q lay asleep with the cats tucked up against him.
"Rise and shine, Q. Another day on, but at least this morning it's warm in here."

Date: 2017-11-15 04:52 am (UTC)Bond followed close. Maybe a little closer than need be. They'd shared a bed for a few days now and Bond was rather intuitive when it came d desire. However Q was, well, Q and he wasn't interested in destroying the one solid relationship he had here.
"I was thinking," he said as they walked. "There is a library and I found a book on primitive hunting techniques. I was thinking about going after some game. Fresh meat would be nice."

Date: 2017-11-15 04:59 am (UTC)"Of course you are," Q said with a snort. "Well, if anyone here is able, it's you, double-o seven. Tired of tinned chicken already?"
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 05:07 am (UTC)"I don't think it's a sin to say yes. There are deer here. And rabbits. Either would make a fine meal," he said. "And try to tell me I wouldn't win your affection with a fresh fried coney."

Date: 2017-11-15 05:20 am (UTC)"Yes. I was thinking I'd ring up a few traps. See what comes of it," he replied. "What's on your plate for the day?"
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 05:27 am (UTC)"Oh, um- Light reading," Q replied, looking pleased with his very inside joke, then shrugging. "I might bring some more clothes home from the wardrobe and do some light exploring near the beach. ...If you go, will you be back for dinner?"
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 05:37 am (UTC)"I plan to be. There's so many rabbits I can only imagine I'll catch one quickly," Bond assured him. "We will feast tonight."
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 05:40 am (UTC)"Just don't ask me to skin it," Q snorted, headed into the dome as they reached the doors. "I've no desire to have any part in the death and dismemberment of any animal."
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 05:49 am (UTC)"I'll take care of it, Q. You only need to enjoy the roast," he promised.
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 05:52 am (UTC)"Right, well, I'll see you this evening then, hmm?" he smiled.
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 06:08 am (UTC)"There's better food in the larder I thought we could eat first. Before I go out," he said gently.

Date: 2017-11-15 07:00 am (UTC)As they walked along, Bond absently laid his hand against the small of Q's back. "If you're hungry, that is," he said.
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 02:16 pm (UTC)"I'd kill for eggs on toast, but I haven't seen any chickens, have you?"
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 09:16 pm (UTC)Bond felt him tense, but didn't panic. Instead, he waited for a natural shift in the terrain before he let his hand fall away. He wanted it to seem natural.
"No, no chickens. Other birds lay eggs, but it would certainly be easier to have something domestic rather than wild."
no subject
Date: 2017-11-15 11:51 pm (UTC)"Perhaps some will turn up yet," Q smiled.

Date: 2017-11-16 09:30 pm (UTC)"And the biggest challenge here is that I don't have a gun. I can't say I've ever hunted deer with a spear," he chuckled.
no subject
Date: 2017-11-16 09:42 pm (UTC)"I can't fathom hunting at all," Q confessed. "All that blood... Not my taste."
