Mr. Greengrass, Astarion, Miss Kate, Miss Palettia, and Mr. Geto altogether. Surprisingly no issue, though we fortunately got a fire going near the stream clearing.
[ Imagine they just straight up died to spiders overnight. ]
[takes it! and lights it, and sinks back against whatever they're sitting against, blowing out smoke like a dragon. she seems like she's an old pro at it, no coughing or anything.
silence, and then:]
I know you're probably already sick of hearing it, but sorry.
... Sure, I guess, but it's not an obligation or some shit. I was looking for you because I wanted to. [...] I can leave you alone if you want, though.

[she hums, soft. she watches the ash fall, pulling her knees up to her chest, arms wrapped around her knees, chin on top.]
... Where'd you end up last night?
no subject
In the middle of the woods.
no subject
... Fucking tree. [she says, the annoyance very, very clear in her voice.] Are you alright? Were there people with you?

[exhales slowly. she shifts her hands, moving them under her legs so he doesn't see them.]
Looks like most of us got split so that we weren't with the people from home. For some reason.
no subject
[ Since apparently the tree got mad at us all. He glances at her hands, what the fuck is it this time Karlach. ]
That would seem to track so far, with these people we've covered.
no subject
Not really. Well - the... thing, that's usually in it, was gone. Left behind a gross umbilical cord. Felt like the tree was pissed.
no subject
[ Don't fucking like that. ]
Maybe we shouldn't have messed with the blood after all.
no subject
I don't really want to see that thing wandering around.
no subject
[ Collective punishment, etc. ]
Me neither. Don't need another problem to deal with.
no subject
Got enough holes we can't dig out of. [...] You need more of the little fire sticks? Cigarettes.
no subject
Ms. Preaker gave me four packs of them earlier.
[ So he's set. He smokes a fair amount but he isn't a Wolfwood, fortunately, so the total of five will do. ]

[rubs her face at the mention, and then, finally:]
You mind if I have one?

silence, and then:]
I know you're probably already sick of hearing it, but sorry.
no subject
[ Guys... our hets... ]
no subject
I did. [another inhale.] His heart's as creaky and broken as mine.
[...]
But still.
no subject
Mm.
[ Obviously he'd know a thing or two about a broken heart. He just smokes in silence. ]
Well, thanks for dropping by. You would've seen me tomorrow anyway.
no subject
... Sure, I guess, but it's not an obligation or some shit. I was looking for you because I wanted to. [...] I can leave you alone if you want, though.
no subject
It's a wonder you're not sick of me yet.
[ This isn't said like super deprecatingly but. ]
no subject
Could say the same to you, meds. I'm surprised you don't hide in trees when I come looking.
no subject
I don't have anything against people, really.
If I didn't want to talk to you I could just tell you to leave.
no subject
You could. I'd fuck right off. [another exhale of smoke. she looks like she's relaxing, at least.]
I hate being alone. Don't take that as you're my last ditch effort to avoid being alone, because you're not, but - I do hate it.
no subject
...
It's not a great feeling, no. If you don't mind it being boring... well...
I can always listen.
no subject
[she says tilting her head back.]
We can just be, for a bit. That's alright.
