The morning came in, painting the grassy plains. Maddy walked with a light bounce in her step, her Senses and Awareness Traits pulsing outward to ensure no predators, human or otherwise, lurked in the tall grass.
Beside her, Hoppy looked like a completely different child. The grime had been washed away with a splash of Hygiene Slime secretion, and her orange hair caught the light like polished copper. She was currently occupied with a large bag of Crispy Blade Chips that Maddy had prepared from thin sliced Blade Bunny meat.
"Miss Maddy! These are amazing! They're so salty and... and they make my tongue tingle! How do you make meat stay this crunchy?"
Maddy beamed at her, adjusting the strap of her bag.
"It's all about the temperature control, sweetie. You have to sear the edges instantly to lock in the juices, and then let the air do the rest. I'm glad you like them!"
