[ Blue's gone camping a good handful of times in her life, but none of those times have ever required her to build a fire from scratch -- usually there are logs of wood specifically for the task, some kind of lighter fluid, or at least matches -- and everything that she knows about starting a fire from nothing comes from either cartoons or various documentary series' she's seen on the Discovery Channel.
Not exactly much help. Everything looks easier on TV.
Her daemon wasn't much help either -- the knee-high tree creature currently sitting a few feet away from Blue, looking defeated even without any actual facial features expressing so. Its leaves are frumpy, and the few tiny branches that stick out all point downward. -- it wanes between being extremely helpful and spewing out more information that Blue needs, to completely useless and giving Blue either nonsense responses or none at all. That leaves her hunched over trying to start a fire all on her own..... and failing miserably. ]
Ugh [ She groans heavily. ] This is going to take forever.
[ Then she hears a voice. A voice that she would have recognized anywhere. A voice so deeply etched in her mind that she's not sure she would have ever forgotten it. Her head snaps up and she nearly topples over trying to turn around to get a good look at him. ]
Adam? [ She's not hallucinating right? Maybe those berries weren't really so safe, after all. ]
