[Good evening, explorers! After departing from Cair Paradisa, the path was south at first, but turned west fairly early on. Skirting well south of Eldritch Forest, the travelers had camped near the edge of the Amber Steppe, not quite within sight of the forest that marks the Totem Coast. The grasses are parched brown by the heat, though greener patches mark the presence of water. It's near one of these - a small, bubbling stream leading west that Raine has chosen to follow as it will almost certainly run into the river marked on her map - that the travelers have made their camp.

The carts and wagons are arranged in a defensive circle, though the campers are free to set up their tents outside them as well as inside wher ethe rest of them are. There are small cooking fires scattered around as well as a large bonfire in the center for socializing.

Play music? Sing? Teach those poor non-Earth kids how to make s'mores? Or just sit around and socialize with others.

Or hide in your tent and ignore everyone, if you really want to.]

[Hey, you should be please he considers you to have high entertainment value! He holds up his hands immediately in a surrender gesture, head tilted back in a full laugh. It's been awhile since he's done that]

I expected better of you, battle hardened warrior that you are.

[ino]

I was making food. [a little pout. she can't be too mad if he's laughing ...] And I don't know if I'm feeling generous enough to give you any, now.

[excalibured]

And that meant you could not be prepared for an attack?

[Shameful, Ino, shameful. He still carries tinges of amusement. He knows you aren't serious] You'd really leave me to starve?

[ino]

Let's just say you're lucky I noticed it was you. [or she would have pulled a knife LMFAO]

Well, you haven't even asked nicely. Manners, Arthur~

[excalibured]

Yes, or else you might have screamed me deaf.

[He believes you, and he arches a brow] I don't think I'm the one that you should be lecturing about manners.

[NONE OF YOU CASTLE PEOPLE USE THEM, EVER. But after a moment, he'll bow slightly at the waist, pulling a small flower from the pocket inside his vest and handing it to her. He's been surviving a little bit before this trip even, on her food and good graces, it's nice to give a small gesture of thanks. And more importantly, how can you stay angry when he's this charming?]

[ino]

I'll have you know I'm heavily armed. [LMAO]

[ino]

[ ... and when he does that, she'll let out a little sigh. FIIIINE ARTHUR FINE. she'll take the flower]

You play dirty, you know that? [but she's grinning]

[excalibured]

[Just...The flattest, doubting look ever. Look, fishnet and the mass amounts of hair aren't adequate weapons. Even if you could probably strangle someone with it. But he's not interested in arguing it. He'll just straighten up when she accepts the flower, grin turning smug at t the corners, he just considers it to be using his natural gifts to their fullest potential :')]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[ino]

[there are a lot of knives up her skirt, arthur. JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE.]

I think you know exactly what I'm talking about. [she'll hold out her hand] Give me your bowl, then.

[excalibured]

[No thanks, somehow he thinks he can do without the sight of that]

I was under the impression you thought well of me. [He'll root around in his bag after a moment, and pull out the bowl he brought with him]

[ino]

[she'll take the bowl and fill it up!]

I can still think well of you if you play dirty.

[hands it back :)]

[excalibured]

No, you really can't. As the accusation itself is an insult of character.

[AND HE'S PERFECT IN EVERY WAY, but he'll take the bowl with a nod of thanks and dig out the spoon he brought with him. He'll...Just avoid other people by eating over here sup]

It's quite good.

[ino]

Everyone has flaws. [a little grin]

You think so? Gale helped -- I think it tastes better than what I usually make.

[excalibured]

No, they don't.

[His brow furrows, a little noticeably. What have you been doing when he's been in isolation-ville?] Who on Earth is Gale?

[and why did you let him at other people's food...]

[ino]

Really? Do you know anyone who's perfect, then?

[ ...ahahaha. welp. she just looks a little amused, eyebrows raised] We're dating.
