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.]

But what are you gonna use?

You can rinse it out after you're done. [then she'll eat after :D]

Oh okay. I can do that! [She smiles]

[dawww rue. she'll be ladeling some soup in there for her, then, and handing the bowl over] Careful, it's still hot.

[She takes it with a smile, nodding]

I will. Thank you! Did you make this yourself?

Not quite. Gale helped. [she'll let the ladel rest in the pot, now]

Gale did? I didn't know he could cook!

Mm, he's pretty good at it. I guess he had to do that for his family sometimes.

[She blows on a spoonful of stew, cooling it a little before taking a bite]

I used to help out, too. Though I mostly snuck out to find berries and other things we could eat.

Well, I'm sure your family appreciated it. With someone as sneaky as you, I'm sure you could get away with just about anything.

[She chuckles, smirking up at her]

I am pretty sneaky. I got away with a lot, though. But I was always really careful.

Well, being safe is even more important than being sneaky.

[She smiles and nods]

That's true. But I try to be both.
