The woman asked Cvetka to watch the carcass for a moment, and returned shortly with a pile of thick, waxy palm leaves the size of platters. Cvetka watched silently as the woman cut as much meat off the taosig carcass as she could, scraping even the bones, and packaged it up into portions using the leaves.
"We'll be able to eat that for tonight, and maybe tomorrow, but it will all need to be cooked to prevent it going bad" she said. Cvetka kept her thoughts to herself about that, ignoring her demon's whispers, such as
you won't get sick, we'll see to that. The woman finished with the carcass, and Cvetka grabbed the stalk of the leaf in order to drag the carcass away from the hollow tree.
