Masquerade stayed where she was, staring aimlessly into space, until finally she flopped over and curled up on her bed roll, falling into a dreamless sleep.
((Morning now plz!))

(( Of course. xDD ))
Tobias awoke fairly early, and was poking at the charred wood with a leftover twig. He sat with his knees to his chin and his free arm wrapped around his legs, and he was staring blankly at the dimly glowing ashes.
(( God why am I so lame these days? DD:< ))

((You're not lame. Don't ever say that. -thwacks- <33))
Masquerade flopped over onto her side, blinking open her eyes and gazing blearily up at Tobias. "Good morning," she mumbled.

He glanced from the wood to Masquerade. "Oh, hey there, good morning," He replied, his voice borderline monotone. "Breakfast, or should we get moving, or what?"

She sat up, yawning widely, and brushed a strand of bright red, and rather messy hair out of her eyes. "Breakfast, she decided, and proceeded to bring out a few pieces of bread and some cheese. She passed Tobias his food, and ate her own in silence, still half-asleep.

Tobias didn't bother asking about the day's plan, and instead munched on his sandwich. He swallowed before speaking, "Any nearby place with water you'd know of? We're bound to run out sooner or later," He brushed some crumbs from his shirt, looking more like himself than the blank version from earlier.

Masquerade finished her own meal, and looked up, nodding slowly. "There should be some lower hills northeast of here, with some streams or something like that. A few days journey- and luckily, in the right direction."

"Sounds good," He nodded, standing and looking in the direction she had said. 'Besides, laundry day is rolling around quickly...' He chuckled to himself and got to packing his stuff back up.

Masquerade stood as well, and gathered up her things, kicking dirt on the last of the fire to put it out, and straightened up. "Ready to go?"

He tied up his vest and slung his sword over his back, followed by his bag, and nodded. "Yes'm. Let's go...!" He forced a slight smile and nodded to her, indicating that she should start leading the way.

Masquerade nodded, and set out in the direction she had indicated earlier- northeast, a bit to the left of the sun that rose into the red sky.
((time skip to hilly places?))

Tobias shielded his eyes against the early morning light as he stared up into the sky, walking a little behind Masquerade.
(( Suuuure~ ))

Several days of trudging around through the volcanos had finally brought them here, to a little green oasis in the middle of all the red and heat. Masquerade let out a soft sigh of relief as she reached the top of the first little grassy hill, and looked down into the neighboring valley. It wasn't exactly a paradise, but at least it wasn't all made of rock, and there was even a few patches of grass that was crackly and dry, or scorched by lava. And a stream- oh, thank the gods, actual running water. Her pace quickened as she hurry down the soft slope to the water's edge, crouching there and dipping her hands in to have a drink.

Still at the top of the hill, Tobias looked down and grinned. He wiped some dirt and sweat from his cheek and took off at a sprint down the hill, dumping his pack and sword once he got near the waters edge. Throwing caution to the wind, he leapt over the water's surface, landing in the middle of it all, downstream from Masquerade. Gratefully, he sank until just the top of his head was visible over the water.

Masquerade was a little more delicate getting into the water, as much as she wanted to just jump right in after Tobias. She dropped her pack next to his, and removed her cloak. Then, without much of a thought, she stripped off her outer clothing as well, having to literally peel it off her sweaty skin. She left on her undergarments, obviously not very self-conscious at all- who was going to see her out here, anyway? She waded in up to her knees, and then slipped all the way under, her head popping up a few moments later, a couple yards away from Tobias. She grinned, and sent a wave splashing toward him with one hand, spraying him in the face.
