[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.

[Django sees another out on the outskirts, but since he doesn't feel like trekking to the other side, he opts to just go a couple yards further than Lloyd before plopping down. Another moment, he's lying down, with one arm in the air reaching out for the waxing moon]

Miss you...

[Lloyd looks over and sees Django! It's been a while since they had time to talk. He smiles, though it's not very visible considering it's nighttime and all.]

Hey.

[The angle makes it hard to see, but Django can tell from the tone of voice. He smiles back a little]

Hi. The stars are always brighter out here than at the castle, even with the full moon coming up.
gentleidealist: (SIMPLE ► i'm still not sure)

[personal profile] gentleidealist 2012-08-27 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's great. Do you watch the stars a lot?

[He flops onto his back as well.]

[personal profile] heliotroping 2012-08-27 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I watch the moon.
gentleidealist: (UNSURE ► swallowed their pride)

[personal profile] gentleidealist 2012-08-28 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The moon? [He looks up at it, but he doesn't quite get it.] Why?

[personal profile] heliotroping 2012-08-28 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
A few years ago, I found out my mother was really from the moon.
gentleidealist: (WHAT ► i've said it so many times)

[personal profile] gentleidealist 2012-08-30 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa... [He looks up at the moon.] Yeah, that'd change things.

[personal profile] heliotroping 2012-08-30 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Only a little. She was still my mother.
gentleidealist: (THINK ► tell me it's over)

Well, yeah. Family is family. I bet you were surprised, though.

[personal profile] heliotroping 2012-09-02 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
I was. I was even more surprised that I had a twin brother.
