[Turning, he paws through the rucksack unshouldered and dumped onto the floor beside him and sifts through cans and supplies for a bottle of water and a scrap of cloth he had rinsed clean at a river along the way. He dampens the rag and screws the cap back on the bottle, sliding it aside before his attention’s back on her.]
