"Oh, there's some dirt in this too, but it's bound to the sticky algae, so you can barely feel it. Oh, oh wait, I got some sand..." Aurora went away from the hole against the wall, took out her water bottle and rinsed her mouth. She then took a couple of big gulps. "You're remembering to stay hydrated, right? We wouldn't want you going around fainting because you forgot to drink."
Aurora sat down and crossed her legs. She started thoroughly going through her backpack, picking out pots, pans and various such equipment, and examining it. "Amazing... No apparent damages, at least nothing that would affect the food..." She assembled what looked like a burner and a grill, and began fingering a valve. At first there was a sharp hissing noise, but soon it turned into a soft whistling sound. "Even the heater is intact! My, I must be a genius at packing. Well, now that I've got it up and running I might as well make you something, since you won't eat my algae." She lit the gas with a match, and placed a pot on the grill. She then added various things into it from plastic containers like the one with the algae in them. Some of the things she put in looked like she had found them in the cave as well. All Ed could do was hope and pray that it wouldn't be as bad as that slimy stuff.
