The Bonfire Event

Emily Kirkpatrick

Emily continued fidgeting, blushing slightly. "I-It's fine... N-No harm done..." She probably shouldn't be so nervous when she had just been chastising him.

She gave a small smile to Riley when and returned his wave. "I-I don't know if I'd c-call it a talent... N-No... I don't kn-know how to read palms... M-My mother taught me to read cards..."

Rory Voltaire


He smiled at the nervousness of the girl despite having just been chastising him. It was almost endearing the way that she acted and sweet. His gaze flitted over to Riley as he accepted the offer to join them and extended the smile to him as well. Both individuals were quite nervous it seemed and, perhaps Rory thought in a little devious voice, that they would be perfect for one another. It wasn't his habit to play match maker but it could be a possibility if they allowed it.

"Of course not" he remarked at Riley's words and then said to Emily, "She did? Sounds like an interesting family you have. Too bad about the palm reading though, I've heard that they are pretty accurate." He pulled his own marshmallow from the fire and blew on it to put the small fire out. Placing it against the chocolate and graham cracker already set up he would form another s'more. "Oh, hey! Maybe you could do a reading for Riley, he's new."

"W-Well... Any fortune c-can be accurate... I-If it's done right..." She fidgeted with her cards again, sliding them around in her hands.

She glanced up at Riley, examining him before glancing away again. "...I-If he wants one... I can d-do one for him... This isn't r-really the place for it though... I was just m-messing with the cards... a-and it's getting a little late too..."

Sure enough, people were beginning to filter out of the fire site. A few lingered around to chat or enjoy the fire as it died down, but a majority of the people left to go about their other business, or possibly go to bed.

Emily pulled her marshmallow from the fire, blowing on it gently before placing it delicately into her mouth. After a few moments of chewing, she swallowed and stood up, smiling at the two boys. "I-I have some homework to take care of... b-but if either of you want a reading... you can f-find me... I-I'd be happy to give y-you one..."

and with that, she ran off in the direction of the dorms. She'd really let herself fall behind to come out here, but it felt worth it.


Thresher Hugh @"Sashi"

Thresher glanced up at the moon slowly rising into the sky, sniffing at the air as the ash was cast into the wind. The scent of fire wasn't something taken for granted in the wild, and probably shouldn't be enjoyed to thoroughly. Cana shouldn't feel to safe around fire...

Stepping out from behind the makeshift stand, he walked over and scooped up the small pup-girl. He set her on his shoulder and rubbed behind her ear a little. "Let's head home, pup." Who cared if the stand was left behind. Were people worried someone would walk off with the table?


Mina

Mina quickly became distracted again, staring into the fire, observing the idle crackling and surprising pops of the wood. She would end up sitting there well into the night.

Cana had spent the rest of the Bonfire running around and being curious about things. She also did eventually eat. It was getting late, and the little girl began to feel fatigue. Her body told her that it was bedtime soon. Just as she turned to look for her father, he picked her up. She rested comfortably on his shoulder. The young redhead beamed and curled up against him.

"Ok."

Her purple eyes slowly closed before forcing themselves open. Then she got stuck in the cycle of sleepiness as she fought it. At least let her see home first! She went back home with the giant werewolf.
