He has rested for the majority of the day, only occasionally waking when absolutely necessary. Eat, hydrate, sleep. Ensure Kreyu is still breathing. He can see less and less of the whale carcass each time he does, so he knows she is eating.
More kelp has been gathered, and he has worked on eating that too, with his leftover tenderloin. (She left him plenty.)
As the sun sets, he finds himself awake again, and decides to go for a walk as the stars once again begin to make their appearances. There is enough daylight however, that he has gathered a handful of interesting shells during his traverse of the beach - some worn, some still shiny (he checks to make sure nobody is living in the 'fresh' ones before he collects them) as well as some interesting smaller rocks.
He sets them in a pile upon a flat stone near the fire, which he works to feed and build upon his return, before he starts to cook his last piece of tenderloin, this piece sliced thinner than the ones before it. It will not take as long, before it is ready to eat.
Meanwhile, he is trying to stack stones to balance atop each other, and at some point his 'tower' falls and clatters.
