paradisabeyond | (no subject)

[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.]

[She gives a small huff of amusement.] Says the man who's out here with me. But...the company is appreciated.

You saying I look lonely now?

Maybe. You're out here with me, aren't you?

... I guess.

[Headtilt.]...You don't talk much, do you?

[Another shrug...] What do you want me to say?

Good point. [She shakes her head, smiling, and goes back to watching the stars, not minding that he's sitting there.]

[Looks up at the sky after she does too, a bit curious maybe of what's she might be staring at.]

Do you recognize any? [Says a bit later.]

Not really... I wish I actually did. But... they're nice to look at.

Not really... I wish I actually did. But... they're nice to look at. <I.[She looks over at him, a bit sheepish.]</i> Sometimes I make up my own constellations.

[A bit of a nod, they are nice indeed.]

How do you do that?

Make up constellations? Well...you just look for patterns in the stars, yeah? That's what people did when they made them up in the first place. Like...there. [She points.] That group of stars looks like a flower with a stem and three petals.

[Tilts his head several times as he tries to see some pattern there...]

That's not a flower...

...Then why do you think it is?

It's more like a dragon with three heads.

[She nods, tilting her head to look.] It's possible. I can see it.

And over there, it looks like a chocobo. [Points out some other space up there.]

[She giggles.] You mean the overgrown yellow chickens from your world.

You heard of them? [He sounds a tidbit excited. He knows that the idea of Hermione knowing how to even breed them floored him!]

Only a little. Zack won me a stuffed one at the carnival.

[A nod.] Nice.

...Speaking of that, how did you get your Buster Sword back?

... [Excuse him, he looks a bit tense and embarrassed all sudden. Scratches the back of his head a bit.]

I didn't... Don't tell Zack. Nor Angeal... [What the heck is he talking about? It's right there with him!]

[She raised an eyebrow at that.] I won't tell either of them. I promise.

[A bit of a nod, he's thankful for that. And after a bit of a pause.]

This girl who won it, she loaned it to me.

She... loaned it to you? Even though it was yours?
