Somewhere in the Preserve; Thursday Evening.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

After they'd found a good, clear spot (Setsuna had rather insisted that they go trekking through places there weren't paths first; it didn't feel right otherwise), the sun was starting to set on the girls as they set up their camp. Setsuna helped Ami with the tent a little, but left it mostly to her so she could get used to the set-up for her scouting class; she mostly worked on getting a safe firepit and getting it started. Very easy, considering that her only innate magical ability was fire and all.

And there they were. Camping. And Setsuna didn't even have to ask Ami to put up the tarp.

//"You are right, it is quiet here."// Ami said as she came over to the fire pit.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

//"Thank God,"// Setsuna sighed, crossing her legs in front of her as she sat in front of the fire. //"On the way through here, I could have sword I heard rambling music, but I think, whatever Fandom weirdness has bestowed us this time, we lost it back there in those thorn brambles."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"Good. Maybe it is limited to the town and schoolgrounds?"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

//"I'm not giving my hopes up,"// Setsuna admitted. //"Because it's right when you let your guard down that it will start up again."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"Good point. Ok, so, do you know anything about these knots?"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna nodded. //"I'm good with knots,"// she said, but wasn't about to explain the reason why. //"But shouldn't you be figuring them out yourself for your scouting thing? I'm not sure how it works..."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"Yes but i figured you could look and tell me if i am at least getting it right"// AMi pulled the book out and looked at the step by step pictures. //"This doesn't look so hard"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

//"I'll keep an eye on your work, sure,"// Setsuna nodded with a smile. //"Let you know if you're doing anything incorrectly, although, really, I'm so used to doing them without even thinking that I don't even know if I'd spot an error if I saw it..."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"We'll see i guess?"// Ami started working on something called a Surgeon's Knot. //"I figure this one will be extra sueful."//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

//"For what?"// Setsuna asked, leaning over, having trouble seeing how Ami would find knots useful at all. It wasn't like Ami ever had to tie people up and interrogate them before. That she knew of.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"Well, itis a knot used in Surgery, for sutures and stuff..."// Ami had never had to tie anyone up. In any sort of way.so dirty

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna had. Even in the dirty sense.

But that weekend was a little bit odd...

//"Well, the name for it makes sense now..."// Looking closer, especially at the end result in the diagrams, she did start to recognize it. She just never knew there was a name for it.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"does it look right?"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna nodded. //"Looks good to me. Give it a tug and test it."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"Here you pull on this end"// Ami handed her a side of the rope and then pulled on the other end.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

And, as instructed, Setsuna pulled on the other end.

The knot, having enough friction did not come undone. //"Yay!"// Ami said with excitement. //"Now two more. But maybe later. Um, so what do people do while camping?"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

//"Um, well, I was always in a state of training when I did it,"// Setsuna said. //"Hunting, trying to climb things that, in doing so, I would bring myself close to enlightenment, meditations...And then there, you know, camp stuff....like we did...last semester."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"So, cooking food and stuff?"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

...Didn't Setsuna mention that earlier in the room?

She nodded. //"Yes. Like cooking food and stuff. That's why we even stopped by and got food, Ami-chan..."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami stuck her tongue out. //"Alright, well... lets do that then."//
