(I could I have sworn I replied too. Sorry it's so short!)

Alice shrugged. "Doesn't sound familiar," she replied, before turning to look at the person who had loudly announced his presence. "Who are you?" she asked skeptically.

Kanin stepped out from behind the others and walked towards the fire to put the sticks down next to it. He went to go join Alice, and turned to look at the strangers around the fireplace. "Perhaps we should make introductions first?"

Ember stood up and began walking back. She reached the fire, and sat down on a rock, looking at the people who had just returned. She sat on a rock, and watched as they got settled.

Orion joined Kanin and put the sticks down too. He stood up and walked over to one of the logs.

Alderic smiled at her gladly. "I am Alderic the Magnificent!" He said smiling at A'ine a little. "And this is A'ine and Orion." He said smiling. "Oh and this is Mitch!" He said looking at Kanin "So, s'mores anyone?!" He said still a little loudly, pushing his glasses up on his nose.

A'ine chuckled a little Alderic was a really friendly person. He was the kind of person to just introduce everyone. Aine felt kind of relieved about this because she now had to concentrate even more to k eep up the small lie about how awful she looked she almost gave herself away with a groan when Ember came back.

Mitch smiled glancing at Ember wondering if she was okay. "I'm game for a few Alderic." He said setting his guitar back in it's case.

Jora quietly climbed up into the thicker tops of the trees moving over to a tree on the edge of the woods right above where the others were. She sighed a little watching them. She shouldn't be here with them. they were her friends but they were in danger from her being there.

(Hey Jade, I posted a bit ago [I'm feeling hypocritical] I wanted to know if you wanted to continue this Roleplay? Also if you do I think we need a time jump to maybe the next morning? And fill in the blanks of the campfire thingy?)

(Geez, this is so late. Sorry! I'll be more consistent! A time jump would probably be good!)

Kanin decided to speak up before Alice could say anything too rude. "I am Kanin, and this is my twin sister, Alice," he said. And then he added. "Erm, what exactly are s'mores?" He looked around the fire for any clue to what 's'mores' were, scrunching up his nose in confusion.

"They sound weird," Alice remarked. She directed the remark at Alderic, since he seemed relatively friendly, even if he was obnoxiously loud in her eyes. She turned her eyes back on the fire. Everything here was so different from home, but fire was one familiar thing.

Ember sat down between Mitch and Alice, "I'll have some s'mores," she said. She was rather surprised that Kanin and Alice didn't know what s'mores were.

Orion sighed, leaning back. He turned to look back at the forest. He didn't see anyone, so he quickly turned back to the fire, hopefully before anyone noticed. He knew Jora needed some space, but he couldn't help but worry about her. "You don't know what s'mores are?" he asked Kanin and Alice, who nodded in reply.

A'ine jumped up way to excitedly cheering. "YES! Finally! Someone else who doesn't know what something is!" She yelled laughing with a smile to Kanin. "Sorry I was just getting so tired of being the only one who didn't know anything." She said in apology.

Alderic smiled watching A'ine laughing as she finished. "Well allow me to educate you." He said grabbing a roasting fork putting a couple marshmallows on it. He reheated the fire with a wave of his hand, he noticed A'ine flinch a little as he did. He began roasting the marshmallows watching them carefully.

Mitch smiled at Ember as she sat down. "Anyone want to hear some music?" He asked tentatively reaching down for his guitar.

Jora swallowed a little not sure she wanted to go out there with the others. She felt a little tired. She bit her lip looking down at the castle. She really wanted to just go to bed. She glanced over at the forest not really trusting her skills to not get lost. And after the little incident in the lake earlier she didn't want to walk near the edge of the cliff by herself. She swallowed again looking at the group, Orion was the only one sitting a little away from everyone else. She bite her lip sneaking around the group to where Orion was, hiding behind him so no one could see that she was there. "O-Orion, could you walk me back to the dorms?" She asked quietly crossing her arms a little.

(Okay I lied in the PM, we're going for a couple more posts. ^^)

Kanin laughed at A'ine's excitement. "Where is your home then? Alice and I come from the regions far to the north," he said. He too was glad that he and Alice weren't the only ones new to s'mores.

Alice stated at the marshmallows Alderic was roasting, trying to hide her curiosity. "What are those?" She asked. Up north, food mainly consisted of soup, bread, and tough meat. Most of the food around here was completely new to her.

Ember let a small smile creep over her face. "Yes please," she said to Mitch. She doubted anyone else could hear her, which she was slightly glad about. All these people were making her nervous. She would rather be back near the cliff. But somehow being alone was less appealing now that she had met Mitch, A'ine, and the others.

Orion jumped slightly as Jora tapped his shoulder. He smiled when she finished talking, relieved that she had come back. "Of course," he replied just as quietly. "Do you not want the others to see you?" He asked when he realized the way she was standing behind him.

(Yes! My internet survived!)

A'ine smiled at him. "The bottom of the ocean. Me and my brother never really left it before, like ever. We had to learn english three weeks ago." She said laughing a little. "It was hard, not as hard as learning how to walk. And I'm not too sure I know how to do that even." She said with another chuckle.

Alderic smiled up at A'ine. "You're not that bad at it." He said looking over at Alice. "These, madam, are marshmallows." hey basically are just blobs of sugar." He said with a smile pushing his glasses up the bridge to his nose.

Mitch smiled at Ember, lifting his guitar up and started strumming some western music, mouthing the words as he listened to the noise around him.

Jora nodded a little, feeling relieved he understood. She still felt awful for burning A'ine, and was exhausted, she didn't think she could handle hanging out with everyone for the whole night.

"I am thoroughly impressed. Learning English and walking at the same time is no small feat," Kanin said to A'ine. "For us, the hardest thing to get used to was the length of the days and nights," he said, deciding that he should provide some information about his own home.

Alice grinned inspite of herself "That sounds good," she admitted. Sugar sounded good right now.

Ember felt more at ease as Mitch played the guitar. She was satisfied with just listening to the others' conversations, and Mitch's music.

"Okay, hold on a second. I should tell the others I'm going," Orion said. He turned to the others around the fire. "I'm going to head back. I'm pretty tired. Have fun!" Orion said, hoping no one questioned him further. He didn't have an excuse ready.

Aline smiled at Kanin. "Thanks, it was pretty tough, but my brother was there helping me." She said turning when Orion spoke. She felt relieved when he said he was leaving. "Good night Orion." She said glancing around at the others.

Alderic glanced up at Orion. "Okay, I'll catch you later." He said to him before looking back at Alice. "That's not even the end of it. We put these on gram crackers and chocolate." He said wiggling his eyebrows.

Mitch glanced over at Ember smiling. He hummed a little playing a different song.

Jora smiled at him starting to walk at him. "Thanks..." She whispered rubbing her arms a little.

"Good night," Kanin said to Orion, before turning back to A'ine. "How old is your brother?" Kanin asked, glad that A'ine was easy to talk to.

"Chocolate is good. I have high expectations," Alice said, watching Alderic preparing the s'mores with guarded interest.

Ember tapped out the rhythm of the Mitch's music on her leg since she didn't know the song. She focused the ground, worried she would blush if she looked up at Mitch.

"See you later," Orion called over his shoulder as he left. He walked between Jora and the group at the fire. He turned to Jora as they walked and said, "No problem," he said, smiling widely at her. He was going to ask if she was feeling better, but he was pretty sure he knew the answer. Instead he pointed to the sky and said, "Hey look, there's Orion."
