[ His gaze falls back to the fire, which is still burning. ]
So...did you want to hang out here awhile longer, or head back? I didn't exactly mean to steal your whole day like this.

[ she chuckles, and looks toward him, studying his profile. ]
It's fine, I don't mind. Are you getting tired?

[ But it's a rare occurrence that he runs out of energy. ]

no subject
Well, then! I'm just going to have to make my presence around you more permanent. You better not be sick of my face yet.
no subject
[ that much is definitely true.. ]

[ HEY.... ]
"When"? Not "if"? You wound me, comrade!

no subject
I'll hold you to that.
