[Virgil Marks]

Hearing a squeal nearby, Virgil looked up from the hushed conversation he was having with Leslallia to see Kaimid tying a knot around Sebastian’s tail with a cord and binding it against his body. He then proceeded to arrange the firewood in a simple, functional pile and began to heat it with his eye-laser.

The job finished, Sebastian came over to join them on the blanket, bouncing and smiling at nothing. Noticing Lesallia's grimace, Virgil asked, “Is something wrong?”

Rolling her eyes, she nodded at the boy, muttering. “I don't think this blanket was made to seat three...” She made a point of shoving Sebastian toward the edge, not entirely playful about it.

Virgil smiled, happy to be able to share the night with his friends, even Sebastian.
