Starting a Fire

Nataya nodded in understanding. "You can eat some fruit, but you have to share with Yuki." She said, making sure not to speak too fast. She walked a few feet away and started gathering small sticks, some stones, and dry grass. She laid it in a pile before walking off again, this time further. A few minutes had passed when she finally returned, dragging a relatively thin but long branch on the ground. Without breaking her focus, she held one end of the branch up and sent her foot crashing down on the branch, then repeated the process a few more times. Some parts of the branch, especially where it thickened, required more than one blow for it to break, but she eventually had several pieces that would burn well for a little while. "Can you cook?" She asked, glancing up at Stella while her hands stayed busy in setting up what would be a small fire.
