[God it's so nice to not have fur anymore. Or like. Actual hands. You never realize how much you miss your hands until you have paw-hands for a good two months straight. So, you know what? Why DON'T they celebrate this by going camping in the middle of fuck-off nowhere? Camping, roughing it...Wolfwood's in his element. Something tells him that out of the three of them, Ezell might struggle a little, but what does he know maybe the guy is a secret camping savant or something. He only knows Ain knows his way around a campfire because the El Search Party just does that a lot.

Of course, just because you've been camping before doesn't mean you're necessarily smart about it.]

Cozy because it's dark, maybe. But I guess a cave is better than the ground out in the open, assumin' that one ain't just full of standing water.

[ Ezell is... well, a little out of his element. After all, he's a rich boy. Camping was always done in that rich, bougie sort of way for him. But he has gone camping before. As such, he's done his part to prepare, and has even chugged along a rather large backpack with things they'll need. Some food, in case they can't find anything to eat out here, and some things to make their trip out here more comfortable.

That said, he super doesn't know how to pick out a campsite that isn't already set up and ready to go, so, uh- ]

We can test it out, at least. If it's only damp and not full of water or anything like that, out tent should be able to keep the ick out~.

[eidxiety]

Haha, it probably won't be~. Don't worry about it.

[Well, it's still a little bit wet when he pokes his head into it, but that's to be expected from caves. It's mostly-dry, and their tent has a bottom, so it shouldn't be that much of an issue. There's juuust enough space for them to set it up and have room to amble about, as well as light a campfire without immolating anything. Stalactites made of more of those white stones hang from the ceilings, and it's sufficiently dark in here to boot. Dark and cold.

Ain uses his magic to light it up for now, the yellow Edel Eids floating after him. Wheeeee.]

See?

[lupusxylem]

[Dark, cold...mmm sounds like camping alright.

Wolfwood carefully shifts his weight onto his good foot just in case his prosthetic decides to treat the slippery cave floor like a slip-n-slide, folding his arms across his chest as he gives the interior a once over.]

Not the most comfortable but it beats the elements. Might as well go 'head and drop that stuff here.

[Said to Ezell, still carrying his huge backpack.]

Ya'll ready to learn how to make a fire with your bare hands?

[ezellotry]

[ Ezell begins immediately by not putting his stuff down on the cold, wet, dirty floor, thank you very much. Instead, he eyeballs out the area, and stomps a bit on some of the parts that's more dirt than rocks to make it flatter, and moving aside any loose stone that's too sharp or large or bumpy.

Once finished, he just reaches around to grab at the tied up tarp to the side of his hiking bag. He unravels it simply by taking one end and throwing it out like one does their own bedsheets, and lets it flutter to the ground. It flattens fairly easily, and only then is he content enough to put his bag down. ]

Oh, I have charcoal, if you'd like it to last some time. Since Mister Enciodes passed along the animals to me, I have to take care of them now, and some of them eat coal and charcoal. Flamebringer is kind of having a blast having something to intentionally burn.

[ He pulls out a tuna can with a very charred piece of wood slathered with alcohol inside. ] I have about three of these, but they're easy enough to make even while we're out here. They burn for about two hours and will make using our camping stove easy.

[eidxiety]

You make it with your bare hands? I just use magic.

[Ain is not Flamebringer, definitely not, but he knows enough fire magic to make a tiny flame. Realistically it's always one of the siblings or Aisha making their fire... sometimes they can skid a stick off Raven's arm if he's overheated and act like he's a matchbox, but he apparently "doesn't like that". Ain thinks it's funny, though.

Now that they can put stuff down, though, Ain will help out with what he was carrying, though...]

Camping stove? We have a stove? Isn't that too large to fit in a bag?

[Local man does not know what a camping stove is, please advise.]
