She had moved what they used to sit on away, instead laying on the ground near the fire, letting it be the only light to signal someone was awake. She of course, had changed since her near-drowning experience earlier that day, but nothing that would really keep her all too warm but she didn't want to wake anyone by getting a blanket. Instead, she had used the fire to make some rather shit coffee, but she supposed it worked.
She put the cup with the drink away from her, close enough she could get it without burning but she also didn't want to knock it over. Odessa, on the other hand, was laying on her back. She had lived on her own for seven maybe eight years and this was the one thing she found calming every time. The stars, the night sky. It was pretty, especially when they were all out with the moon lighting them up. She knew a few constellations, the basic ones mostly: Orion's belt, little dipper, big dipper.
The look on Odessa's face, in her eyes alone, could resemble that of a child. She was only a child between ages eleven and now, and the stars were to thank. Though hearing something move nearby, the childlike awe left her face and instead she reached for the cup of her drink - the closest possible weapon - though she had placed it too close to the fire and was quick to move her hand: she burned it ah yes cause this was a shit day getting worse.
"Fuckin' hell" she breathed, glancing back up at the sky "You scared me"
