Day 1 - Midsummer, Evening [-], Clear, Forest
You decide look for some food while there's still light. You unfortunately did not spot any rivers while you were up on the hill so you search for any pools or ponds or even a small stream to drink from. As you search, you collect various berries that you find growing on the bushes, as well as mushrooms flourishing on the base and trunks of trees. As it is midsummer, many of the berries are not yet ripe and have a very tart flavor. The mushrooms, however, are delectable. You'd prefer to eat them cooked or boiled in some water with other vegetables, which would have lasted you much longer, but for now you eat them raw as you find them, passing a few to Dozer to munch on as you go. You feel quite sated for now, but have eaten whatever you found.
Eventually you do find a small, murky pond. There are no fish in the pond, but you encounter a watersnake with black and orange scales, which nearly bites you as you reach down to drink. As such snakes are usually poisonous, the encounter leaves you a little rattled. The snake slips back into the water before you can do anything and you decide to give the pond a wide berth, if only for Dozer's sake.
