Who: Scarlet and Scotch
When: Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey time between Jan. 2nd and the war :P
Where: Church
Why: First encounter of two Enks

Winter was hard, that was something they probably all had learned the hard way the first year after the blackout. As a girl, Scarlet had loved winter, and part of her still liked the way it looked - like the whole world was covered in pure, white innocence. But without running hot water and central heating and readily available food it was a harsh time to get through. Maybe she should think about joining a tribe, but to be honest, she didn't like this kind of human compartmentalizing.

And she wanted to be able to treat and be there for everyone, not just the people of one tribe. But sometimes she really could appreciate being part of a larger group of people. At least there was a place that was semi-warm and dry, though she had never been a very religious person she was grateful for it. Huddled in a thick jacket she went through the last supply package that Topher had given her, making sure she had enough for a while.

She looked up when she heard movement close to her, surprised to see an unfamiliar face. "Hey." she greeted, waving a gloved hand. "Are you new here? Don't think I've seen you around before."

"Even more reason for you to eat something to generate some extra heat." Scarlet said an her voice wasn't really tolerating any more opposition. She had set her mind on giving this man some of her food (which would only spoil because she couldn't possibly eat it all by herself anyways) and so she would.

She smiled when he finally agreed. "I'll be back in a second." she muttered, going back to her own camp at the back of the church. She had a box with grilled chicken that was really good cold and a little more than half a loaf of bread. It was enough for two, but not quite to feed two children. So she took a bit of the lamb that she'd taken after the New Year's festivities as well. Everything was neatly packed in boxes, except for the bread, which was only two days old anyways. She carried everything over to Scotch, setting it down with a smile. "See, enough for all of you. So please, eat your fill, but slowly. Maybe a few small portions over the next few hours? But don't hold back to save some for the kids, there's enough, okay?"
