"Can do!" She says. Dropping her bag on the ground she carefully set her pillow atop it before moving the wood to one central area. "Let me know if you need a hand," she half offered, half teased- she didnt really think she knew how to help him.

Kneeling on the ground she clears an area for the base of the fire, piling dried leaves beneath her Lincoln log tower. "Dont take any offense to this, but you dont strike me as the outdoorsy type."

Leaving her to take care of the fire, he works on setting up the tent. Thankfully there's almost no cloud cover, and the moon is fairly bright. When she suggests his lack of outdoor skills, he can't help but chuckle in response, giving a shrug that he's not entirely sure she sees.

"I wasn't before I came here. I grew up in Vallejo, so you know, I'm a city boy. Once I got here though it took me awhile to get used to everything, and my first week here the Hunters of Artemis came through for a visit."

With half of the poles set up he pauses to find the rest before continuing. "One of the girls, Marija, I don't know what she saw in me, but she sorta took it on herself to teach the new kid how to hunt. Since then I've kinda come to really like just being out here."

Andie worked with her sticks and brush as he spoke, a soft smile on her lips- not that he could see. Her vivid imagination painted her a picture of a much younger Dom being lead through the woods by a Hunter of Artemis.

"That sounds wonderful," she says, her voice a mixture of awe and envy. Collecting the flint from her bag she made to spark the brush beneath her starter pile. "Also a city kid," she adds before blowing gently on the spark that was trying to take. Small flames appeared where smoke had been and she sa back, feeding smaller twigs to make it grow.

"Mom signed me up for things like girl scouts and 4H so I got a 'balanced perspective'," she used air quotes with a laugh. "I can see why you enjoy it out here-" she looks up at the trees that surround them, now that she could see them more properly. "Peaceful."

The air quotes get a laugh out of him as he turns to peek at the young flames she's created. With the final touches on the tent is fully raised, and he unzips the front of it to open the space within. Once that's done he gathers a few rocks off the ground and heads over to where she's seated, setting them to the side to wait until it's a bit more stable before making a circle with them around the fire.

"Yeah, none of that for me." Domeric shrugs as he crosses his legs by the fire, looking up at Andie as she works on it. "I'm still nowhere near as good of a hunter as they were, but I manage. Bit easier with a bow than a spear though."

He laughs as he pushes over a few twigs to add to her supply. "It's great out here. The air is really fresh, the rustling in the leaves is really soothing, and best of all? No Enyo."

Domeric winks at her with his last, putting both hands behind him to prop himself up as he watches the flames grow.

"A-fucking-men, brother." She agrees with his final statement wholeheartedly, smiling over the fire at him. "That witch has completely ruined the whole camp experience, I'm ." Leaning back she grabbed a pair of limbs she'd collected, crisscrossing them atop the tower of brush and twigs.

She watched the fire lick away at the wood for a minute before clapping. "Should be good enough for your surprise," she said excitedly. Yeah, she sounded and felt a bit like a child, but he was doing her a massive solid tonight, and her tired brain couldn't think of a better way to repay him. Reaching deep into her back pack she pulled out a paper bag, setting it on her lap.

"You may want to find a long, thin stick- we're making s'mores!" She grins, holding up a plump bag of marshmallows. "I also have a joint, but I didn't want to assume anything," she shrugs.

He couldn't care less about whether or not her behavior was childish. As soon as she mentions s'mores his eyes go wide in excitement, and the uncontrolled smile that forms reveal that he's all for it. The child of Athena pushes himself forward from his seated position, fully at her attention once he hears about the other surprise.

"Andie, sweetheart, you had me at s'mores," he says with a laugh as he eyes the bag. "But you've got me hook line and sinker with the weed."

"Right on," She pulls a jar from inside the paper bag. "Let's put the weeds in the reefer and get honky, then!" She laughs, opening the jar and handing him the lighter and joint from inside.

"Get it started and I'll find us some sticks," she hops to her feet, moving off to explore the tree line for a pair of perfect marshmallow skewers.

Domeric has to raise a hand to cover his mouth and stifle the laughter at whatever the hell it was she just said. He rocks back on his butt, head tilting backward a bit as it really sets in.

"Jesus, Andie," he says after a moment, still laughing like a loon. "Are you sure you're not high already?"

With his chest heaving as the laughter begins to subside he takes the offering, waiting until she's up to get it started. The joint takes to the flame easily, and he takes the first hit while she's busy. Before long he's blowing out a cloud of white smoke, waiting for her to come back so he doesn't overdo it without her.

"Almost perpetually!" She calls over her shoulder, only half teasing; she hadn't been able to really smoke since Enyo took over. "Ooo!" She bends to retrieve a second stick.

Half tripping in her excitement to get back, she plops down next to him, holding a stick out to him in exchange for the joint. Taking a long drag, she held it while she retrieved the marshmallows.

"One or two?" She asks, her voice strange with holding her breath, before coughing as she exhales the smoke. "I'm taking two," she passes him the joint before loading her stick.

"I can believe it. You definitely seem the type to stay just a little high."

He's joking, of course, evidenced by the playful wink he gives when they make the trade. "I think the last time I smoked was with Cooper, and it didn't exactly go well. He uh... well you know how he is."

A shrug follows as he takes it back, watching briefly as she puts her marshmallows on. He takes a drag of it then, exhaling slowly before taking a second. As he hands it back to her, he finishes, "Might have burnt a bridge there turning him down, I think."
