[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.]

... [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.

[heal_theworld]

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

[shrugs_a_lot]

She did win it...

[heal_theworld]

Good point... Well, at least she was willing to loan it to you.

[shrugs_a_lot]

... With interest...

[heal_theworld]

What sort of interest could be on a sword? Other than the person having more time with it...

[shrugs_a_lot]

[A shrug.] Your guess is as good as mine.
