[Rinrou]

Kale smiled as Blaze rested her head on him. "You're useful." he teased her, "Like my own personal heater."

James was a bit surprised as he took a seat across from Yue, "Is that spiked?" he asked.

[Kaliko]

"Haven't heard that before," Blaze noted. It wasn't clear if she was joking or not.

Yue glanced down at the hot chocolate. "... I don't think so..." she replied as she looked at her hand for evidence that she wasn't sober. Surprisingly, she was still sober.

[Rinrou]

Kale smirked before looking up again, "Oh, good. I was hoping it would clear up tonight. This spot is the best for seeing the stars." he said happily, a bit childlike.

James looked a bit shocked, "Should I spike it for you?" he asked, not clear if he was serious of joking.

[Kaliko]

Blaze blinked a little before looking up at the sky.

Yue paused, but then shook her head before going back to poking at the marshmallows.

[Rinrou]

Kale smiled, "One of the source of light I can look at without discomfort." he explained, "I think they're beautiful."

James nodded, "Just wanted to give you update on Laurel. Things seem to be progressing fairly smoothly and much better than I expected. If it keeps going like this, it should be settled before Nic gets back from whatever he's doing." he explained.

[Kaliko]

Blaze didn't say anything as she kept looking at the sky.

"Hmm," Yue acknowledged.

[Rinrou]

James suddenly stole the hot chocolate away from Yue and took a small sip, "Hmm, really not spiked." he agreed as he set it back down in front of her.

[Kaliko]

Yue glared at James a little and pushed the hot chocolate in front of him. "Keep it," she told him.

[Rinrou]

James chuckled, "I see you're as feisty as ever." he chirped.

[Kaliko]

Yue didn't give him anything else to go off of as she sat there quietly.

[Rinrou]

James raised an eyebrow before picking up the hot cocoa and sipping it calmly. His eyes never left hers though.

[Kaliko]

She wasn't looking at James, and she didn't seem to notice he was still looking at her.

[Rinrou]

"Hey." James suddenly stated, "You're strong!" He made a fist and nodded firmly before taking a large gulp of the cocoa.

[Kaliko]

Yue gave James a funny look before looking away again.

[Rinrou]

James chuckled, "How's that coming for ya?" he asked after he had finished the hot cocoa, "You figuring out ways of becoming stronger?"

[Kaliko]

"That isn't your business," Yue replied. So, not really.
