The familiar voice and sight of Orion quickly relaxed Camilla’s composure. She sighed, relief evident.
“Oreo!” She called out as energy returned to her voice. She ran up to the archer, throwing her arms around him in a tight, allayed hug.
“Yeah, I’m doing fine,” She said, without much conviction. “How about you?” She pulled away from the hug and simply allowed her hands on Orion’s shoulders, while her chin was tilted slightly upwards to allow her to see the taller individual’s face.

[i]"Oreo" didn't initially expect the hug, though he would join in upon it soon enough. He would wrap his hands around her body, hugging her with a familiar loving, least to one such as himself. A loving of family.[/i] "I'm alright, but you seem like.. you could do a little better. Tired, really. I won't dig in, though." [i]He would nod reassuringly towards the shorter girl.[/i]
-
“Tired? I’m not tired!” Cammy protested. Indeed, despite her earlier demeanor that Orion had noticed, she’d quickly recovered; she was back to her familiar, effervescent self. “So anyways. What’ve you been doing since we got here? I’ve been wand... wandering around.” She glanced over at the church as she said that, but then looked quickly back to Orion.
-
"Me? Well.. I got you and the Paladin a book. I figured Barbara would cleave a novel in half, and Daun would bury it because of paper.. Anyway, here. I didn't know of you'd like the genre, but.. you should enjoy it, if you like low fantasy stuff." [i]Orion would scrounge and explore his satchel, before offering out the maroon book to Camilla. I dunno what the book is, lol.[/i] "I got a book on herbalism, meanwhile. There's a massive library nearby, owned by a lady mage called Violet. She's kind. Occasionally angry.. not as furious as I can get, I guess, but angry."
-
Cammy took the book, raising an eyebrow as she read the cover. “F-forty five different s-sex positions that’ll make your partner wake up the wh-whole neighborhood!?” She went beet red, looking from the book to Orion. “Ummmm... y’think you picked the wrong book...? Maybe you weren’t looking... o-or... or... maybe somebody swapped it out! Th-that’s probably what it is. Is it hot out here or is that just me?” She held the neck of her shirt in an attempt to cool off, looking at the cover of the book. She cautiously opened the front cover, then quickly slammed it closed. “O-oh.”
-
"W-Wh.." [i]Orion didn't take it as calmly as Camilla seemed to have taken it.. seeing as she would read it out loud. His usually pale, relaxed face, would flush a brilliant crimson color, as red as a dark red rose. His hands fumbled a little, as he struggled to even try to take the book from Cammy.[/i] "I-I-I'm so sorry, I-I just accepted it from that librarian.. i-it didn't have a title and she told me.." [i]He shook his head repeatedly, practically quivering at this rate and failing to take the book from Camilla.[/i] "You'll.. you'll never forgive me for this," [i]He would shake his head, as he looked throughout the book. Just in case. If it was a prank..[/i]
-
Camilla’s grip on the book was loose as she herself was in shock, considering the first page. As such, Orion would eventually manage to take the book from her and look through it. Indeed, it was what Cammy had said it was; the title read; “Forty-five Different Sex Positions that are Guaranteed to Make Your Partner Wake Up the Whole Neighborhood – photographed and written by Amy Lewis.” Yes, photographed. There was a picture beneath the title; it was, of course, the pretzel dip position. If you’re curious, the girl in the photo was a solid 8/10 blonde. Behind that, the table of contents. It was a very, very detailed book, having a chapter written for each sex position, explaining its origins, usages, the science behind it, and much more. The first thirty five chapters were dedicated to vanilla sex positions, before there was a “section 2,” full of sex positions for the other hole. Meanwhile, Camilla was now redder than Mars. She averted her gaze by staring at her shoes, mumbling to Orion. “I-it’s fine. Y-you didn’t mean to pick it up. If anything, it was the librarians fault... yeah, the librarian’s fault.”
-
[i]Orion would take one simple, quick look at the picture that was displayed beneath the title, and he would flip the book to the other side, to the back, placing his pale, shaking hand over it's maroon surface in the case that there was yet another picture. He closed his eyes, still blushing with a terribly embarrassed look.[/i] "...I-I hate that woman. H-How could she.. how could she do that to you? ...it's.. it's my fault for being deceived by her. I'm.. I'm terribly sorry, Cam.." [i]Orion sighed, finally placing the book away. He forced himself to look over at Camilla, still shaking a little.[/i] "I.. I doubt you'd want a-another gift at the moment. B-But she gave me two herbalism books. I-I swear, they're herb books, I looked through."
-
Cammy was silent for a few moments as she looked at the herbalism books, before smiling and laughing at the utter ridiculousness of the situation. She hugged Orion once more, this one of reassurance that she herself thought nothing of it. “It’s okay, Oreo, really. If we’re being honest, it was that dense writer’s fault–oops, accidental fourth wall break. But yeah, don’t worry about it. And c’mon, you know that I know nothing about herbs,” She added with a laugh before pulling away from the hug.
-
[i]Orion kept silent for a little bit as he would listen to the shorter cleric girl, before releasing a softer chuckle of his own. He would pat Camilla on the head then.[/i] "Ugh, writers. And hey, we can try learning herbs together. I can teach you a little about what I know. And you could use the stuff if you ran out of magic or something of the sort for healing." [i]Well, he was trying.[/i]
-
Camilla smiled at the thought, nodding. “Yeah, maybe we could sometime later. Anyways, are you hungry? I’m pretty hungry. And I heard that there was a restaurant that’s still intact on the outskirts of Dojoville. You wanna go check it out?” She gestured in the direction of the restaurant, which was southwest of their current location. “Somewhere over there”.
-
"There's a restaurant left behind through.. this?" [i]Orion would wave his arms in a flailing motion a little, lingering upon the ruined, desolated Dojoville.[/i] "...Sure. What kind of food's there?"
-
“My guess is that it’s whatever they can make from ingredients in the nearby woods and stuff. Because their shipments of food’re probably... not doing too great. But hey, it’s better than nothing, I hope.” Cammy began leading the way towards the restaurant. They passed dozens upon dozens of burnt down buildings, causing Cammy to really wonder; how [i]did[/i] it remain up? Even if it [i]was[/i] on the outskirts of Dojoville....
-
"Mm.. they'd have to have some hunters. Or a few suppliers. Perhaps it'll be alright, through.. this." [i]Orion would respond, as those silver eyes would scan the desolate Dojoville. In the distance, the two could see marching, medieval soldiers adorned in purple cloaks and steel. Orion would ensure that the two of them would steer clear of the purple-cloaked soldiers' presence.[/i] "Trayvens. Bunch of men and women who've rolled in, taken the place for their own. They're alright.. if you don't mind their barbaric, cruel sense of justice."
-
“What, you’ve met them before?” Cammy inquired curiously, looking at Orion as they arrived at the general location of the restaurant. The restaurant was indeed intact, and in very good shape, actually. It was a small cottage, with brick walls and a wooden roof. It was a ways away from the Trayvens, and it looked as though the gap between the restaurant and the soldiers wasn’t going to be closing any time soon; whether the Trayvens didn’t want to go there, or the restaurant didn’t want them there, was up to inference. Entering the restaurant, the place was empty, despite it being about dinnertime. Perhaps news about the restaurant hadn’t spread as far as Cammy’d initially thought? Regardless, a pretty waitress would come to greet the two of them. She was a redhead, and quite appealing to the eye. “Hello, for two?” She asked with a smile.
-
"Met? No, no. Never bothered to strike up a conversation, but I've seen their handiwork and their cause in action. They beat down brawlers, cut off the hands of thieves.. there was an execution recently that they conducted, some murderer. Specifically decapitation.. ...sorry. But I wouldn't get on their bad sides, they seem.. dark, underneath all of that purple and gold." [i]Orion took some notice to the restaurant's apparent secludedness, looking for anyone else that was there, before his eyes rested upon the waitress. He would let Cammy handle it - she seemed to know the place.. well, not really - in truth, he was still awkward as all hell.[/i]
-
“Yeah, for two,” Cammy replied to the waitress, and they were led to a table set up for two. They were given rather shabby menus; paper, without lamination or any kind of casing. The menu was rather empty as well; it seemed like the restaurant simply threw together the most iconic meals into one menu; it was difficult to tell if the place was a fast food restaurant, Italian restaurant, Chinese restaurant, or whatever other international cuisine the menu might’ve listed. The table set up gave each of them a wineglass, napkin, and utensils. At least, despite the restaurant’s appearances, the table set up was clean. As the waitressed left them to give the two time to order, Cammy continued their conversation. “Well, I probably wouldn’t go near them either way. Those soldiers [i]do[/i] look frightening,” She stated as her eyes scanned the menu for something that caught her eye. Knowing Cammy, it’d probably be something vegetarian and lame.
