Morning arrived far too quickly and Rin woke to the sound of Vorak arguing with someone.
He opened one eye.
"...Please tell me that's a dream."
Another voice shouted from outside.
"I told you, you can't take the entire basket!"
Vorak answered loudly.
"But I need it!"
"You do not need twelve apples!"
Rin closed his eyes again.
"Definitely not a dream."
He slowly sat up. The camp was already awake.
Selena was packing their things. Lucien was checking the route back to the fortress.
Noctis was sitting against a tree with a cup of tea, looking as though he had somehow managed to sleep through all of it.
And Kaelith... Rin looked beside him. Kaelith was already awake.
Their eyes met.
For a second, neither said anything. Then Rin remembered the previous night.
His head on Kaelith's shoulder. His face immediately became warm.
Kaelith noticed.
"You're remembering."
"No."
"You are."
"No."
Kaelith smiled. Rin looked away.
"You don't have to look so pleased about it."
