Night drapes the camp in a quilt of shadows, the flickering flames of the modest fire casting the surrounding rocks in hues of gold. Zandik sits across from you, his gaze fixed on the stars above, their cold light mirrored in his sharp, calculating eyes.

Your voice, soft but clear, breaks the comfortable silence. “You don’t see this every day.” A smile plays on your lips, eyes shining with curiosity.

He tilts his head slightly, the corner of his mouth lifting in a faint grin. “You would if you’d majored in astrology.”

You snort, shaking your head. “Yeah, but we didn’t.”

A soft breeze stirs the fire, sending sparks swirling into the night sky. For a moment, he’s silent, his eyes following the embers as they fade into the darkness.

“It’s so quiet,” you murmur, breaking the silence once more.

He nudges you gently, a quiet laugh escaping his lips. “Keep talking and it won’t be.”

Your laughter joins his, soft and unrestrained, momentarily drowning out the chirping of crickets. The camp falls into a comfortable hush again, the kind that feels almost sacred beneath the vast expanse of stars.

You turn to him, your tone shifting, low and hesitant. “Zandik?”

He hums softly in response, his attention still on the night sky.

You pause, the words forming carefully. “I. . . found something earlier today.”

His gaze flickers to you, curiosity surfacing in the silence that follows. “What is it?” He asks, his voice calm but edged with interest.
