The broth was flavored by the meat, and some small sections may have been small enough for the Bee to intake. When he'd prepared his bowl after explanation of this he would do so with that in mind including small strips that he hoped that Casey could digest, "You're welcome," he told him as he settled in with his own bowl.
Whatever chunks of meat were left he would wolf down. He could use the protein and being unable to keep the stew from going bad he had to make use of what he could. After he finished he used a little water to clean out the bowls and the pot itself. There was a stream nearby he would use in the morning to replenish his supply as well as wash them properly.
Leaning into the saddle for a pillow and his bedroll beneath him it provided a little comfort from the hard ground, "It's going to be a beautiful night," he commented to Casey.

"The stars are very beautiful tonight. My associate Penny would've loved the sights. She's also a tailor that works with me" Casey said laying on the ground. The ground was comfy enough, especially with the soft grass. "I hope she isn't too worried about me"

A short, somewhat stocky halfing stumbled out of some bushes. He was clutching a tattered map, and a short sword in the other. He glanced up and spotted Bart and Casey. "....hi." he said, sheathing his sword and folding up a map. "Either of you know where a, uh... big hole in the ground might be?"

Bart appeared to be the center of the black hole that odd creatures were drawn to. Not that halflings were particularly odd but the arrival of not only the rather large Bee but the halfling within but a few hours of one another had him wondering. His sword was tucked within his bedroll sideways, and his hand had slid underneath the thick material the instant he’d spotted his shadow. He’d judged it not tall enough to be a man and someone so capable of walking silently without purposefully attempting it was either a child or, as he found out, a halfling. Releasing his grip he was settled on his left side. He rose to his bottom sitting with his feet stretched before the fire.
The halfling had replaced his own in its scabbard which meant it saw them as no threat, which was rather odd considering the company he was keeping. Despite the oddity that came with it he would furrow his brow at the light handed little creature and say in return, “Not but a few hundred yards that way there are some ruins that you might consider to be a big hole.”
Bart was open to others exploring the tunnels, especially because what he looked for did not seem to be treasure and it was unlikely others would seek it due to its appearance, “Though I do not recommend going further into the darkness when it is already dark outside.”

Casey nods in agreement "yea there was a hole over by the ruins, but it'll be pretty dark inside and who knows what is in there. I don't like dark scary places." The bee wasn't phased when seeing the two draw their swords maybe because they weren't pointed at Casey this time around. A small buzz came from the bee as it made a small circle before laying down again re-positioning itself to find a more comfortable spot as if nothing happened.

Isengrin quickly scurries to the hole, peering into it and examining it. "That's the one, all right." He turned and walked back towards the other two. "So are you two looking for the treasure as well? I assume that's why you're here, otherwise it'd be a funny coincidence."

Bart had not expected the halfling to bound off so quickly, it was a surprising change from what he was used to, then again he'd not spent much time around the littler folk. As he returned he had to keep himself from laughing at the childlike behavior. It reminded him of many children at home and how much he missed them.
"It is apparently not as well kept a secret as I might have believed it to be, though I seek but one thing," he could only comment for himself. Though the bee, Casey, had not made such bold claims aloud as to seek that which lay beneath the ground. Bart figured the Bee would never enter without another present as while the creature was not timid it did not seem particularly brave. Not yet at least.

Casey just shrugged. "I'm not really looking for something unless there happens to be fabrics in that hole. I figured it would be a good idea to stick with someone or else I might get lost again, especially in this darkness" The bee rubbed it's little hands together, now that the sun has set it seems to be a little bit chilly. Casey is from a warmer coastal region and is not yet used to the cold.

Isengrin examined the two beings in front of him. "Well, I suppose if you two are also looking to find your own treasures, we could all go down there once it is daylight again." He walked towards their little camp, setting up his own sleeping roll. "So... I suppose introductions are in order." He said.
"I go by Isengrin."

The halfling making himself comfortable was characteristic for the race, not that Bart had met many of them but the general understanding of who and what they were like had not escaped him. Therefore he smiled at the presentation of the sleeping roll and would rise to introduce himself reaching his hand out to be shaken, "Bart, it's a pleasure to meet you Isengrin."
If the halfling took his hand he would shake it, if not he would still say, "I have some stew left if you are interested. There is rabbit in it and a fair bit of potato left as well."
Seeing as how Casey could not manage the larger trunks the broth was thinning but the main components were plenty.

"Hi, my name is Casey" The bee waves at Insengrin. "the stew is quite good." By this time Casey has made a little hole in the ground for themselves to rest more comfortably. In the hive, Casey slept in a small hole with blankets layering the hole as well as more blankets to cover the bee with. It's a lovely sight to be out sleeping, this is what they call camping, or at least something like that.

Isengrin shook Bart's hand. "Oh, thank you, that's very kind." The halfling replied when offered stew. He turned to Casey. "Nice to meet you, Casey."
Isengrin served himself up some stew and sat down on his sleeping roll, slowly eating the stew.

The bee snuggling down into the ground drew his attention for the moment. The creature was rather odd and he found himself smiling at its antics. The strangeness of the halfling could never amount to that chance encounter and it appeared he was going to have both for company for a while longer. Nodding to Isengrin as he worked upon his stew he'd made the offer in good faith. He sought only one thing within the ruins and whatever else was left was paltry. Safety was first and foremost on his mind and he would keep it that way.
Taking his seat back on his bedroll he would stay awake for as long as the others. He was a light sleeper so he generally did not set watches and once the fire was extinguished it would be difficult for them to be found in the darkness unless someone had been watching for some time. Therefore he had very little worry for it.
"So what has brought you this far?" He asked of Isengrin as he knew Casey's reason for being there.

"Treasure!" Isengrin said through a mouthful of stew. "Being a halfling is so boring sometimes, you're never expected to accomplish anything. So that's what I'm doing. I want to be something special." He swallowed a great gulp of stew, finishing off the bowl. "That was excellent, thank you." He told Bart.
"Anyways, yeah. Treasure. There's a nearby village that told me about this place as I was passing by, and I figured that destiny was giving me my chance. Apparently the treasure's a bunch of stuff that was stolen from the village a long time ago, by some group of thieves."

"Do they not expect it returned?" Bart was curious instead of worried, what he wanted was not something that the village would have had stolen from them once upon a time, it was more precious. Or perhaps it was, but if it was in recent memory they certainly would have been after it. His only great hope was that while magical it did not present itself as valuable.
Bart would rise up and take the bowl from him using what remained of his water to rinse it. He'd have to fill it in the morning once the sun was up. He'd cover the stew to keep the smell from attracting wild animals moving it off of the fire and leaving it burning loading a few more logs to last until morning.

Casey just listened to the conversation. Feeling their eyes grow heavy they snuggled up into their hole and closed their eyes for the night. Casey has never been a night owl but she makes up for it for being an early bird, or early bee in Casey's case. Whatever the two talked about was amongst them. Casey didn't have any need for treasures, but it is always fun to try something new. This is all new to the bee. When the first crack of dawn draws over the horizon, Casey will greet the new day wide awake.

"Apparently not." Isengrin replied. He sat down on his bedroll and lay down, quickly falling asleep until morning
Then the sun began to rose, Isengrin arose and hastily packed up his stuff, ready to go.

Casey was already up having come back from smelling the flowers. "Goodmorning" the bee buzzed from behind Isengrin. "are you going into the hole?" Casey appears to be covered with a light dusting of pollen, but what can you do? Pollen always ends up sticking to bees like a clingy girlfriend.

Bart rose with the sun, had Isengrin moved before then he would have awakened. He was a light sleeper. Enough that he generally did not set a watch and anyone that went to rob him would be disappointed at what they found. He slipped down to the river to clean out the full pot eating cold stew for breakfast since it was still good.
He saved Isengrin some as well and some broth for Casey if they wanted it. Which Isengrin was already setting out when he returned. Gem was already packed and he would whistle to the horse low to bring her up beside him.
"Rushing off already Isengrin?"

"I was going to wait for you two, but I never like having to be the one making everyone wait." He shifted his pack. "Plus, I need to be ready in case something happens."
