~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Campsite near the river, Elven Kingdom)~~~
~~~(Ti: 5:35 PM)~~~
The sun is getting closer to disappearing behind the mountains, and it's getting colder as it does. The river is still incredibly warm, almost hot, and while I'd love to take another dip. Drying off in freezing weather isn't sothing that I want to try. "You got any food?" Jasmine's sudden question causes to chuckle and embarrass her slightly.
Before I can give her an answer, the sounds of soft footsteps approaching the campfire behind us take's our attention away. We both turn and see Cera and Sally walking towards us. Hand in hand and having satisfied looks on their faces. It's hard getting used to the way Cera looks, and I prefer his human features over his elven ones.
There is sothing strange about seeing the brother I grew up with look any different than how I know him. Sally is pleased with the way he looks like an elf, but she sees Cera differently than I do. She sees him as a man and lover, and I see him as my annoying brother. "You should ask Cera. He's bound to have food." Cera lifts his head at us as they finish their approach.
Hearing his na being used, he's curious as to why he's the subject of a conversation. "Cera, Hailey said that if I wanted food, I needed to ask you." That's not at all what I said. Cera looks at and already knows that's not true, but he sighs and opens his Inventory, and tosses Jasmine a Food Ration. While it won't taste great, she'll be full after finishing it.
Sally takes a seat next to , and Cera sits on a log getting close to the fire. Sally isn't affected by the cold, thanks to her class, but that doesn't an the rest of us aren't. "What took you guys so long anyway?" My question has its intended effect and Sally's face flushes red, and she looks away while ssing with her fingers.
Cera rolls his eyes and ignores , knowing that I'm just trying to ss with either him or Sally. "Well... We spent so quality ti together... It's not like that's illegal..." Sally's cute timid voice causes to smile, and Cera lays his hand on her head. She covers her face with her hands and tries to seem as small as possible.
Jasmine has a knowing embarrassnt on her face, finding the subject awkward to talk about. Cera and I are different not because we're brother and sister, but because we're from Earth. Talking about relationships and physical intimacy is normal on Earth. Be it with your family or friends. Here, it's not sothing to talk about so openly.
Many consider it sothing that should only be discussed in private with the two in a relationship. It's a social norm that I'm not used to yet, and I know Cera isn't either. "Oh, c'mon, Jasmine. I get Sally being embarrassed about this topic, but I don't know what's got your checks to red." The tease in my voice causes Jasmine to turn her head away from all of us.
Sally and Jasmine are very innocent, and I love that about them. Despite their pasts as slaves, they have excellent moral standing and decency that I admire. "Don't make fun of , Hailey... It's weird hearing this... It should only be between them..." My sudden laughter causes her to sigh in disapproval and start ignoring .
My attention turns to Cera, and he's looking into the fire, and I can see how relaxed he is. It helps that we're all clean now. "When are we leaving for Wessix's in the morning?" Cera shrugs his shoulders and tilts his head over to where Helda is. "So you're just gonna let her plan everything?" That's out of character for him...
He smiles and nods his head a single ti, further annoying with his lack of responses. He can see that it's getting to , and he takes a breath. "I don't know much about the Elven Kingdom, Hailey. Helda and limore guiding us are saving us weeks of ti... Besides, I needed the break..." I get that... He does take charge the majority of the ti.
I have no problems with Helda and limora leading us around. I've co to trust them, seeing how much they want the Elven Kingdom to change. "What are we gonna do after we're done here?" Jasmine asks us a question that I haven't given much thought to, and Cera raises his head from looking into the fire and grins.
Sally and him probably already have plans, and that's sothing Jasmine and I weren't here for. "Sally and I were planning on so quests, but that might change... Depending on how this quest goes... We might decide to do sothing else." His explanation is in typical Cera fashion, and the best thing to do is ignore him.

I haven't gotten to spend many nights like this... I don't know what to really call it, and so would consider that sad... Seeing the smiling faces of my friends and loved ones was sothing I used to take for granted. Before, I made my wish to co back, but so much has changed since then, and life is better even if it's not on Earth.
Hailey's question about what we're going to do after this has my mind distracted. There are many things I want to do, and one of them is figuring out more about these Old Gods and what they're doing. They've co back thanks to and my actions, my disregard for the tiline. Everything is ssed up, and probably on a path to destruction.
I can't be sure, but many things concern , and that's the truth. "What's with the serious look on your face?" Sally's voice breaks my concentration. Telling her might cause her to be in the sa ntal state I'm in right now, and I don't want that burden for her. The knowledge I have will cause her turmoil she's not ready for.
There is sothing else I've co to realize, and that's I can't take Sally with when the ti cos to take on things around my level and life rating. She's be annihilated, and those are probably coming up. "Nothing bad, just going over so thoughts that I've ignored to this point." She moves closer and wraps her arms around .
We'll have to split up for a ti, and that sucks. That's going to be a bad conversation, but it won't be forever, only until I handle whatever's coming for . Cause I know sothing is, and if Sally is with . I won't be able to protect her. "Maybe if you share with , I could help you." She doesn't understand, and she won't for quite so ti.

I don't try and pry answers from Cera... He does make worry when he looks like this. It ans that he's thinking about so really serious things, and while I feel a little hurt that he won't share them with . I understand there is a massive power gap between us, and he only wants to protect . I'm not stupid enough to think I can help him...
Not with his responsibilities and destiny... I know that there are great dangers in his future, and being next to him in all those monts won't be possible... I hate the thought of being useless... So things can't be helped, no matter how hard you try. "These aren't the type of things you share, Sally..." Instead of saying anything in response to him, I kiss the side of his head.
