[thancred asks like it's a rude question to ask, and it catches wanda so off-guard that she can't help but smile, the corner of her eyes crinkling in amusement. her voice is a little cheerier when she explains the reason for it:]
It's not rude at all. [she leans back, straightens her legs out in front of her, and wonders at how amazing it is that she can smell the salty breeze, just about, and feel the warmth of the fire. everything in the horizon feels so real; it speaks of the amazing capabilities of the human mind andβwellβmagic, of course.] We grew up as orphans, and our country was a war zone even before that. It was dangerous going anywhere.
[so maybe camping in the woods wasn't the thing they dreamt of, but rather what it would mean: their country at peace, being able to live a life that wasn't on the brink of collapse from all the fighting and the struggle of their people.]
I got to go camping with β friends β not too many years ago. It brings back good memories.
