[ Ashe chuckles, warm and affectionate, and moves a safe distance away so he can get the fire burning. ]
Of course. It'll be just a minute... [ (one of these days, he's going to teach caspar how to cook. not that he minds taking the lead - it's something he's always enjoyed, but... it's an important life skill. yes, he knows from experience that him and flames are a bad combination, but surely now that they're older and entirely responsible for their own well-being, things will go more smoothly!)
When they began their journey, Ashe had his doubts about being able to fall into a comfortable rhythm with Caspar. But now, with the sounds of the campfire crackling, their knives chopping, and their easy, casual chatter, he feels at ease. At home, even, despite the lack of a proper roof over his head.
Once all the work is done and the stew bubbles away over the fire, Ashe bundles up in one of their spare blankets and settles next to Caspar. He lets himself lean slightly against his arm, but nothing more - even though the urge to drop his head on his shoulder is there. ] Hey, Caspar. Can I ask you something?
