Why, she thought, does he have to play around with his lips like that?
She told herself to knock it off. Luckily, the darkness hid any sign of blushing. An electric tingling, reminiscent of the ones she'd experienced months ago when they'd been at the Lake together, or out in the Grounds, pulsed through her.

She smiled again. "I've just... come here to watch the stars for a bit. And it was getting kind of warm next to the fire. My sleeping bag and everything is close to it, too. What, um," she added gently, "were you thinking about? 's something wrong?"

"I knooow," he mumbled, rubbing his bottom lip harder as a blush crept up his face. It wouldn't come oooooff. "Marshmallow's... sticky, I can't get it all off." He made a face and abandoned it, settling on sucking on his bottom lip instead to see if that could work. The silence stretched for a moment as he did this, as talking was kinda counter-productive for this venture. But soon it was mostly off and he couldn't be bothered to try and find the rest. "Eh. I can't get it all. Why does it have to be so sticky."

He took another careful bite of the smore, and this time managed not to add to the mess he'd made before. Hooray for that, at least. Kiri was starwatching? He'd been... doing that too, kinda. While thinking. Multi-tasking.

"They're brighter out here than they are at home. I think because we live in the city, and the lights make them disappear from sight. There's so many more than I was used to seeing. They look a lot different from out here rather than from the hosp- window."

What had he been thinking about. He scratched the back of his head and considered that. Muddled thoughts had replaced whatever it was.

"I think I was thinking about that, actually. The stars and how they look different. That and how much I'm gonna miss my friends this summer."
