Raven's Watch your memories wrapped within paper and twine

AW! 7pm, 77F, sunny

it has finally stopped raining. the faerie court is still a little flooded, but it is not too bad anymore! caw has seen the floods happen before, in the valley. eventually they will settle back down, and he will be able to restart all of his caches. it will be a lot of work, but that is okay! the entire court will be there to help, this time. there are dens to dig out and food to bury as well, and caw has mostly gathered his plants for himself but the healer is gone now, so he supposes that they can be for everyone else as well! as long as he gets to keep the most important ones for his rituals, just like they are doing now!

he has his bundle of herbs clasped gently in his jaws as he and vrána exit the willows. she is carrying a rabbit they have managed to catch – very fresh, of course! the blood is one of the most important parts of the ritual, and it is not good if it has gone rotten. he does not want to take that chance! the ravens will not accept spoiled meat, and he would not expect them to!

luckily, it does not take too long for them to reach the cliff. this is good, because the rabbit is a lot for a single crow to carry, even if it is not very big! vrána rests on his shoulder when she needs to, but finally, at the base of the outcrop, caw sets everything down and begins the process of nosing the leaves and stems into the proper position.

lavender, mugwort, mint...once he is satisfied with the little wreath he has created, he beckons vrána forward to set the rabbit in between. together, they pull its limbs to the side to expose its belly, and caw sets his teeth and tidily slices the skin and flesh apart. 

the smell of blood fills the air. it is very tempting. but eating now would be very impolite! he does not want to ruin things now. instead, licking at his teeth, caw leans down and begins to pull ropes of intestine free.
