Charlotte swallowed a bite of meat approvingly before speaking up. « I just had some rest, so why don’t I take first watch? I can wake you in a few hours, Rick. »

@amber_is_in_a_loop

« Before. The more cover we can get, the better. » Jessie hugged Charlotte tightly before walking over to the nearest tree.
«Do you want your jacket back? » she asked Slash. « It might get cold. »

"I like the cold," Slash said. "You can have it until the morning, don't worry." He shifted into his animal form and curled up against the side of the hill, not far from the fire. "Goodnight."
"Night," Rick called. "I'll see you three a little before dawn, then. Don't forget to give me a turn on watch though, Charlotte."

She nodded, distracted by Slash's words as Jessie curled up comfortably underneath the Deorn's jacket.
It was a relief to see Jessie behave normally, considering all she'd been through. Smiling to herself, Charlotte crawled over to Jessie and set the girl's head in her lap.

(Yknow I really missed you too, I'm doing a bit better than I was so,,,, on the right track ig, I just really missed you and the rps so here I am… I'm sorry it's been so long, I feel awful about it. I was gonna ask if you want to start this up again for like the millionth time (my fault, sorry again), I feel bad for interrupting the story every time,, idk up to you, we could start something else or just, not, up to you)

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

(Oh fam, you know I would always love to rp with you. You're one of my best online friends and an awesome writer to boot. Please please don't feel bad at all, I'm just glad you're doing better. Yes, I really want to start this up again. But unfortunately, I just got some really really bad news and I think it's gonna have to be my turn to take a break for a while. Sorry, this is really bad timing, but hopefully we'll be able to get this going again before too long. hugs )

@amber_is_in_a_loop

(Oh yeah of course that is no problem at all, please know I'm here if you ever need to talk about anything alright man? I'll be here when you get back, wish you all the best <3)

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

(Okay. I think I'm ready to come back now, thanks for your patience with me. How are you doing? I'll say it again, it makes me really happy to hear from you after almost a year. :) You said you were interested in continuing this rp, is that still true? I definitely am if you are.)

@amber_is_in_a_loop

(Hey, welcome back :) I'm happy you're feeling better! I'm doing pretty good. Can I ask how you're doing? And yeah it's really nice to be here again, and I am interested!)

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

(Glad you're doing well! I'm…..basically okay. I feel good enough that I want to get back to my normal routine, and this is part of that ^^)
(I'm pretty sure I remember where we were in the rp, but I might have to refresh my memory a bit. I think we were about to get to the exciting break-in lol)

@amber_is_in_a_loop

(Alright that's good! Little by little, day by day <3)
(And yeahhh same it's been a hot minute. I believe that they were camping on a hill on the other side of which is Axel's base, and that as you said they were planning on doing the break-in the next day. I might just have to reread what the purpose of the mission was ^^')

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

(Me too ahaha. As I recall, essentially they wanted to rescue the other kid(s) and deal with Axel once and for all if they could. I think Jessie and Rick were on one team while Slash and Charlotte were going to be on another–that way each team had someone who knew the kids and Axel by sight. And they were going to avoid excess violence, but Charlotte didn't sound optimistic about it lol. That's all I remember though.)

@amber_is_in_a_loop

Rick smiled as well and settled down on the other side of the fire. In just a few minutes he drifted off to sleep.

(okay so, let's get into it so we can figure out where we were going with this then?)
Charlotte settled into a comfortable position, back against a tree trunk, Jessie's head resting in her lap. She laid a hand on the girl's head, affection rushing through her.
Affection that only grew when she looked up to see Rick had already fallen asleep, as had Slash. She felt deeply comfortable with this group, somehow, and it was a feeling she was relishing after so many years alone.
Tomorrow, they'd reunite what was left of their family. After tomorrow, none of them would be alone ever again.

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

(Yessss xDD Let's do this)
The night passed uneventfully. Eventually even the nocturnal insects fell silent, leaving nothing to break the silence but the gentle rustling of the wind through the tall grass. The moon sank towards the horizon, framed by countless stars. As it went, the sky in the opposite direction began to ever-so-slowly get lighter, morphing from black to grey to blue-grey. The first sound of the dawn was a meadowlark, calling out with unexpected loudness in a sweet, clear voice. The noise made Slash's ears twitch, and he sleepily opened one eye, lifting his head to taste the air and check for danger. When nothing moved, he got up, shook himself, and slunk off to hunt for breakfast. With any luck, he'd be back before the sun fully rose.

@amber_is_in_a_loop

Charlotte woke not long after. She immediately noticed Slash was gone.
She gently slid a hand under Jessie's head and lifted it slightly, getting to her feet slowly and setting her daughter back down in the grass. Although slightly worried about the young Deorn, she figured he'd gone off to hunt and, not wanting to leave Rick and Jessie alone while they slept, she stayed near the clearing as she went off to find fresh kindling.
She hoped they'd wake soon enough, so that the group could leave before the sun rose in order to keep as much cover as they could.

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

Rick half-noticed when the others started to stir, but the main thing that woke him up was the noisy birds. He sat up and stretched, brushing drops of dew off his clothes and collecting his thoughts. He could see Charlotte not far away, and once he was reassured that she was just gathering wood, he busied himself collecting his gear. He wanted to be extra careful about taking stock and preparing his weapons today, and he silently ran through their plan one last time as he did so. If Jessie didn't wake up soon, he'd probably nudge her and tell her to eat something before they headed out.

@amber_is_in_a_loop

Charlotte headed back for the camp soon after. Rick was awake, now, and upon seeing Jessie was still asleep, Charlotte greeted him louder than usual in hopes that it would wake Jessie.
As Charlotte knelt to tend to the heap of ash that had been burning the night before, Jessie did start to stir, turning onto her back and muttering a slightly grumpy hello to Charlotte and Rick.
