Sitting down, he put into practice what he learned from watching Vandread during the length of their journey together–skinning the rabbit and bringing it to a cookable state before conjuring a steady flame.

He snapped back into focus, looking down to find a portion of the meat beginning to char from the flame he conjured above his palm. Taking the flame away, the meat was prepared, or perhaps a tad overprepared.
