The sky was pitch black by now, and she was pretty sure that if she put a bit of distance between herself and the roaring fire, she'd be able to see the stars.

It took her eyes a little while to get used to the darkness after she'd stood close to the fire for so long, and Kiri sort of stumbled her way past laughing and chatting groups of students. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. And she herself was, too, Kiri was pleased to discover. Pretty much all of her exams were behind her now, and while she was sad to leave Hogwarts for what would most likely be a boring and uneventful summer, just now September did not look that far off.

At the edge of the camp-out perimeter, she sat down on the grass and, nibbling on a s'more, stared into the night reflectively. She'd already be a fourth year next term. Almost half of her time at Hogwarts was over!

Raiden had been lurking about, just watching all the goings on of the camp-out. He had yet to really spot anyone he felt inclined to talk to; really, at the moment most of the things coming out of his mouth either upset people or made everything feel awkward. So he had stayed away from the groups of people.

But now Kiri had broken away from the crowd as well and had sat down directly in the path he'd been following unconsciously for the last fifteen minutes or so; a circular pattern, all the way around the edge of the groups of people. He'd walked it without looking where he was going, eyes trained instead on the sky. The sound of someone coming nearer, however... made him shift his gaze.

"'lo Kiri," he said softly, hands in his pockets as he followed his path closer to her. Avoiding her now was probably impossible as... well she might've seen him already and turning the other way would be rude and might make her sad. "How've you been?"
