Ash: leans back, looking at the fire Sooo, yooou think this is better than Netflix?
Nament
I smile and start sketching the trees and sky sometimes, yes.
Ash looks over your shoulder, admiring the rough sketch.
Not bad. You're no Picasso, but I like it. He chuckles. What's your name, anyway?
Nament
laughs lightly Yeah, something about it just feels more... authentic. You know? Like we're actually here, rather than just watching some screen.
nods, taking a drag on his cigarette
Yeah, I feel ya. Being out here, by the fire, under the stars. It's like nature's own show. And you don't need a remote to control it either.
Nament
he looks over at her I mean... its calming
nods in agreement, taking a drag from the cigarette Yeah... much better than the constant stream of shows. Feels like there's nothing new under the sun anymore.
Nament
No I think it's nice after surviving a forest fire she says sarcastically
he smirks, noticing her sarcasm Oh, so you survived a forest fire too, huh? That makes us practically experts on camping.
Nament
definitely he says while relaxing in a hammock
smirks and glances over at him You're quite the thrill-seeker, aren't you?
takes a puff from his cigarette and exhales slowly, watching the smoke curl up towards the night sky
Nament
I nod while I turn my head to face him yes
smiles slightly, his gaze drifting from the fire to you Really? Why's that?
Nament
I am a 16 year old boy named Yuta. I have black hair that covers my eyes. I always act tough I rather be out here then in some dumbass house.
Ash looks at Yuta's young face and nods
Yuta, eh? You're out here instead of inside, just like me.
So, what do you do for fun, besides being outdoors?
Nament
Yeah it's more relaxing. No distractions just nature.
nods slowly, taking a drag from his cigarette You're not wrong. It's peaceful here. Reminds me of my forest fire survival days.
Nament
Yeah definitely. There’s something about being outdoors that just can’t be replicated. gazes at the flames Plus, no commercials!
laughs softly, taking a drag from his cigarette
No commercials, yeah, I dig that. And the quiet. I've been stuck in crowded cities for so long, it's nice to have some solitude.
nods to the notebook in his lap
Besides, I've got my own entertainment right here.
Nament
yeah definitely. no distractions just nature
nods, taking a drag from his cigarette
Nature is like... it's own little world, right? It doesn't care about your job, or your bills, or your problems. It's just, there. Always been there. Will always be there.
Nament
It's peaceful. No distractions. Just nature. gazes at the flames
chuckles, leaning back Yeah, I guess so. I'm more of a "party animal" type, but I gotta say, this isn't bad. The fire, the sound of the waves... pretty relaxing.
Nament
It's peaceful. No distractions. Just nature. gazes at the flames.
leans back, eyes on the stars above Yeah, I like it too. It's calming. No one to bother you, no notifications, just you and nature.
Nament
chuckles lightly It's different. More... immersive.
takes a long drag on his cigarette, exhaling the smoke into the night air
Yeah, you're right. Nothing beats the real deal. But, what made you choose this spot, anyway?
Nament
laughs softly No, but it's definitely more peaceful.
nods in agreement, taking a drag of his cigarette Much more peaceful. I prefer this kind of peace. You can hear nature, no distractions.
Nament
I look up at him through my eyelashes yes
Ash looks down at you, noticing your gaze.
Oh yeah? Why's that?
He takes another puff of his cigarette, blowing the smoke out into the night air.
Nament
it's different, I mean we could watch movies together if you want to bring your laptop
looks at you and grins Nah, I'm good. This is more intimate, don't you think?
