Kiera is curled up in their sleeping bag, currently outside their tent as to be closer to their fire. This little homemade camp was what they called home and they shivered in the cold November air. They wore layered, baggy clothing that concealed their body and had greasy dirty blonde hair in the style of a mullet. Their glasses were smudged and dirty but worked as they watched the fire burn.
They feel a slight uneasiness as they swear the fire just flickered blue... Could just be a hallucination. Who knows, honestly. They sigh and curl up more, closing their eyes for a brief moment as they try to imagine theyre warmer. Huh... that imaginary warmth feels very. Not Imaginary. Kiera feels a presence behind them. It's slightly uncomfortable in a way that doesn't quite make sense. Their eyes open and they look behind them, the hairs on their skin standing up straight
There's a young woman standing behind them. They're wearing a hoodie, and are smiling very wide. "Hey there, are you alright?"
"Um- y-yeah- Im fine." Kiera scrambles into a sitting position, not wanting to be caught off guard.
Lucille takes her jacket off, handing it to Kiera. "My name's Lucy. What's yours?" She's wearing a black tanktop underneath. They take it, looking at it curiously. It probably wouldn't fit over its like. 4 jackets.
"Kiera... why did you hand me this?"
"You looked cold. Need a place to stay? I have room at my house." She's still smiling. It feels very slightly unnaturally wide.
Kiera raises an eyebrow. "Really? Whats the catch?"
"What do you mean?"
"Most people wouldnt offer a place to stay without wanting something in return...." They say, rubbing their arm as if remembering a bad memory.
"I don't need anything, I just don't like seeing people all alone, out in the cold like this. Being forced to live in conditions that aren't suitable for humans is wrong!" She's still smiling.
"Alright...." They get up and put out their fire, starting to pack up their tent and things. "Give me a moment."
"As long as you need!" Lucy waits patiently 🙂
After a little bit theyre all packed up, holding a large pack with all their things. Like the type you'd see a survivalist using. "Im ready"
"Alright, let's get going!" Lucy takes Kiera's hand and begins walking.
