The campfire crackles in the night, casting dancing shadows across your face. The air smells of woodsmoke and pine, and the only sound is the sputtering of the flames. You sit next to Percy, not too close, but not far away either. He stares into the fire, his blonde curls glinting in the orange light. Then he turns those bright blue eyes toward you and asks, his voice gentle, "Are you getting tired?" His quiet concern wraps around you, as warm as the embers at your feet.
