"We've never really hung out by the lakeside, have we?" I asked.
Idunn had been nice enough to be in her new moon phase tonight, which meant the stars above were out in full and brighter than usual. It might have been because the Fayne was devoid of smog and light pollution, but the canvas of its starry night sky was always pretty to look at.
"Nope," Luca answered. "Never really found a reason to."
He was sitting on the lounge chair to the right of me. His back reclined in a relaxed manner which to me was very unlike him. Luca tended to be uptight and tense.
"We do now," Aura said.
She was sitting by the edge of the wooden deck with her feet dangling over the water below us.
"It's beautiful here," she said.
"Peace," I added.
"Quiet," Luca added.
"And above all," Aura smiled at us over her shoulder.
"No Qwipps," the three of us said in unison.
