My gaze was fixated on the flickering flames of the campfire, I was thinking about various different things.
As I was gazing at the campfire, a little girl walked in front of me obstructing my view of the campfire.
Even with the darkness of the forest, I was clearly able to see the sparkly blue eyes of the little girl.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?" asked Illya.
"I couldn't sleep, so I thought I would sit near the campfire, till I fall asleep."
"So, I will sit with big brother to keep him company!!"
Placing my hand over her head, I gently patted her saying "As much as I would love company, but you should sleep. You are a growing girl, you should sleep enough to grow healthier."
"Big brother sounds like a father."
I could help but chuckle, "I do?"
Puffing up her cheeks, "Big brother let me stay with you!!!" said Illya, pouting.
