Groggy Conversation

As we traverse the still somewhat wet ground, I stare out at the surroundings we pass by.

There isn't a great deal to see, save a great many trees and thick vegetation, but the ride itself is a peaceful experience.

I don't anticipate any kind of bandit activity, and with the heavy storming before this, I doubt even any significant animal life will cross our paths.

Celeste and Valentine chat quietly between each other.

Well, Valentine chats. He is the sort, much like Lucas, to rarely let a silence pass without taking the opportunity to speak.

Celeste, on the other hand, is a bit too shy to keep the conversation going and fills the gaps in the conversation with very simple, polite replies, smiling all the while.

The smile indicates that she appreciates the effort Valentine is making to have a conversation with her despite her shyness.
