Lacey smiled,
"Sure! I'm almost done gathering the fuel. Could you get some tinder please? Grass, twigs, or anything else you can find will do. The finer the tinder,the better.

Rhell came back with several mats and blankets. He opened the tent Lana was in and put down three mats. "They are the best I could get, all the pillows are being used for the seriously injured refugees and soldiers. I figure we will make do with just the mats." Rhell said. Then he stopped for a moment. "I still don't know your name, If you remember I'm Rhell, you?"
Mel saw that the others had left except Rhell, another boy and a girl around Rhell's age. He went over to the tent and peaked inside. He saw Lana and ran over. "Are you okay miss?" Mel asked looking worryingly at her leg.

"All right" Suzume said as she ran off into the forest, looking at the ground carefully as she ran by

Once Lacey had finished,she motioned for Suzume to follow her back to camp. She walked toward Rhell.
"Me and Suzume have both gathered some firewood. Would you like us to start a fire right over there?" She pointed a few feet away from the tent.

(Your name is Lacey by the way Cho...)
"Lay it down, I know the perfect position to keep it burning all night." Rhell went into the woods and get some stones for a fire pit. He built a tepee, then a log cabin around it. He then layed the extra tinder in a few desighns of his own. "Suzume, ready?" Rhell stepped back and looked at the fire in her hand.

Lana thanked Rhell for the mats, and nodded when he explained. And then she realized that she never introduced herself. Slightly mortified, her eyes widened as she avoided looking at him directly. Instead, she looked at his feet. Then her eyes looked up, without her head moving very much.
"Oh, so sorry," she said, "My name's Lana. It's nice to meet you Rhell, thank you very much for helping me."
Then she leaned over to the boy next to Rhell who seemed very concerned. "And I'm fine. You don't have to worry. It'll get better soon enough..." she said with an obviously fake optimism in her voice. "Don't worry though," she added sincerely.

(Sorry, I posted that one in a hurry)
Lacey followed Rhell and set her portion of the firewood down. She walked closer to the fire and sat down once Rhell got the fire ready. For a few minutes, she placed her hands close to the radiating warmth of the fire. She took out the sheet of paper in her outfit and began reading. She knew from a long time ago, this code was from an obscure dialect from an indigenous tribe of people who lived in the mountains surrounding Haven. Her father had taught her this language long ago. She knew why she would need a cipher. Every character and every number stood for a different character and number.

Suzume looked at the fire that she had helped to make, she remembered that she had never needed to help anyone and how her selfish (or more selfish) self in the past was different from her now, she finally had friends...or at least she thought so, she didnt know if the people who had let her into their lives and let her from sleeping on an alley or rooftop again. Sighing she put a small piece of grass in her mouth and started burning a stick she had picked up and started burning it just by holding it in her hands, again with a thoughtful face

From inside the tent, Lana heard the crackling of the fire as the flames bit the wood down and chewed it into blackened pieces of paper, one centimeter at a time. Through the tiny space between the wall of the tent and the flap, she saw the orange flickering of the flames.
She could also see the girl named Suzume. She looked slightly bored, but content nonetheless. Lana saw that she was burning a stick, from the looks of it, because of nothing better to do. Lana had already picked up on the fact that Suzume's ability was to create fires, and Lana wondered if Suzume had a pyromaniac complex...
Lana smiled at anyone who happened to glance into the tent.

Suzume got the 'brilliant idea' of getting some fallen branches and lighting them up as well, she was now juggling them around attempting to get the ever bothering thought of revenge on the soldiers who killed her family and her past all in itself as well as her boredom. It was not the most responsible thing to do since she had not mastered juggling COMPLETELLY even though she was decent at it, few accidents had happened before. But the intent to kill boredom overpowered common sence and reason as well as her concience (which she never listens to much anyways) and still went on with her not so normal and dangerous pass time, at least keeping away from people

Toran spoke to Lana quietly.
"I just wanted to tell you that I noticed that there is something in common with you and Rhell. I have the ability to feel the aura of others, and I can even distinguish between them. I have never felt anything like yours and Rhells. It's almost alien to me. And even more so, it feels like you two came from the same place."

((yay dramatic irony time!))
Lana giggled. If only they knew where she really did come from. Now that would be interesting. "No, I'm sure we're not from the same place. Hah, I don't even think you know the name of the place I'm from..." They didn't even know about her world, most likely. Just then, a thought crossed into Lana's mind. Was this world real? Was the world she was going to school in real? Were they both real, and just connected by some strange alternate reality? these two worlds certainly seemed to possess little in common, other than the fact that they both supported life. What if she'd died, and this was the afterlife? But that didn't make sense, for she was just on her way to school when she came here. Was it possible that when she saw that shimmer, it was really her having a stroke or heart attack and dying? Lana wasn't sure what the case was, but she knew that this world felt very real. "We're alien huh? Interesting..."

Toran smiled,
"No, I don't know the place where you are from, but the important thing is that you and Rhell are here now and it seems like you two want to help."
He sat down by the warmth of the fire with several thoughts racing through his mind.
"Even though she might deny it, I just can't shake this feeling."
He also thought,
"Are they here to stay? What would happen if they left?"

As Suzume was juggling her broken branches in flame she acidentlly missed her hold and one of the flying flaming objects of doom hit a tree, automatically setting it on fire "HOLY-!" Suzume puts the fire out by absorbing them into her hands, hoping no one saw that, either in her side or anyone else, she quickly stopped juggling and decided to sit down and draw things on a small sketchbook she carried in her small messenger bag
