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 almost squeals at the splash, slaughtering following shortly after. ]

[ ~~And then everyone died except for Arya, Dany and their animals because bitch please this is nothing compared to Westeros/Essos~~

Arya resurfaces to splash water Dany's way and duck back under the surface. ]

[ ~~Damn straight. Also Kiku died from the sheer cute, utterly unable to handle her life.~~

Woah, you sneaky little─ She laughs again, it feels a little odd to laugh to freely but she does regardless. Arya's company allows her as such for some reason, but she does not question it.

Regardless of how childish it is, she waits until Arya surfaces again before splashing here. There! Revenge is sweet. ]

[ Barely catching a breath, Arya ducks under again almost immediately. She kicks water Dany's way. Turning around, she lifts her head out so she can breathe. ]

[ She squeaks, shielding her face from the splashes, but she does retaliate when Arya resurfaces, she laughs and outstretches her hand. ]

Come here, if we continue this there will be no water left to wash ourselves with.

[ Laughing, Arya wades closer and takes her hand. ]

[ She pulls her closer, playfully splashing some water on her face. ]

Will you let me clean your hair?

[ Arya makes a 'blegh' noise, but does not retaliate. After a moment, she turns around. ]

Don't pull it.

[ Dany pulls a face, tilting her head to give Arya a look. ]

I won't pull it. [ Have a little faith girl. And she is true to her word, she does very well not pulling it as she de-tangles the mess. She tries to remember how Irri would do it, how apt her hands were at it, and tries to mimic her. ]

You have lovely hair, Arya. Perhaps you will allow me to put it up in a braid when we are done? [ It'll be hilariously simply, but hey that is all she can do right now. ]

Zelos has been doing my hair.

He has? [ Her tone does nothing to hide her surprise. ] I am surprised he knows how to do your hair. [ Well... to a point, considering that the man has rather long hair himself. It really is not as much of a surprise as she makes it sounds. ]

Would you rather he do it?

[ She shrugs. ]

I don't care. He only does it because he says it would be too much a pain to brush my hair every day.
