[align=center][div style="width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4; color: #333; word-spacing: 1px;"]telling horror stories around the campfire wasn't something cassian thought he'd be into ,  but when odessa started to tell her story ,  he couldn't help but be enraptured by the story itself ,  but also the way she told it .  maybe it shouldn't have made him so giddy ,  but the short amount of time he'd been in flintlock ,  he hadn't really gotten to know the girl much ,  and she seemed the quieter sort .  watching her get so into telling her story was so cute ,  even if the story was one of the horror genre .

the ending of the story made him smile brightly .  a cliffhanger that wasn't really a cliffhanger ,  but left something to be thought about by the reader or listener — it was his favorite kind of story ending .  plus ,  who could be mad at the ending when odessa had told it so well ?

his smile softened when odessa leaned more into the fire .

" you did more than alright .  that was a great story ,  and you told it so well ! "  he resisted the urge to scoot closer to her and put a hand on her shoulder ,  like a proud ,  comforting dad would have — like his own dad would have ,  to him .

he didn't say anything more ,  not wanting to tell a story himself .  he wasn't a terrible story - teller  ( and even loved to tell stories ) ,  but thriller tales of horror weren't really his thing .  so ,  he gave odessa another kind smile ,  and waited for the next person to tell another story — and readied himself to comfort anyone ,  if he needed to .
