Kale was silent for a long time. Then suddenly he tossed an carrot over his shoulder to Blaze, "How much time do you think you have? If you could stay on the shots."

Blaze caught it. "I don't know how many are left," she explained. "... I took the last one I had after dinner, but Yue has more. If Yue keeps doing what she's doing, then tomorrow she'll give me another week. I know Yue has at least a year and a half - that's the most I've ever seen. But I don't know if there's any more after that..."

Kale moved his head so that it fell back and rested on Blaze's shoulder, "Hmm... do you know what's in the shots?" he asked.

"Sorta," Blaze replied.

Kale was staring up at the sky, "... Are you willing to possibly live a shorter life to date me?"

"... Are you willing to date me if tomorrow I might be dying?" Blaze asked back.

Kale sighed a bit, "I could go scouting tomorrow... and not come back." he replied, "What's the difference? It's all in the way you live your life. I want to date you, so I will for however long I can... Even if it ends up being just for tonight."

There was a pause before Blaze nodded a little. "I'd rather try and live a shorter life than never know."

Kale smiled, "I've lived twenty-nine years on my own. I'd like to have a relationship with someone." he paused, "And don't settle for a shorter life yet, we have time to figure out what's in the shots." He nodded to himself, "We have time."

"... It's not about the time," Blaze replied quietly. "... It's how expensive they are to make."

Kale started chuckling, "Girl, I haven't worked for two decades for nothing. Plus if we find the lab before Hayden we should be able to able to produce it there." He readjusted himself on her back and closed his eyes.

Blaze was silent for a long moment. "... It's very expensive," she repeated in a whisper.

Blaze could feel Kale shrug before he lifted his hand, putting it behind him and on her lap, "Pixie stick please."

There was a pause before Blaze pulled two pixie sticks out of her pocket and put them in Kale's hand.

Kale caught her hand for a brief moment, squeezing it slightly before pulling his hand back with his pixie sticks. "One day at a time..." he reminded her quietly.

Once again, James found himself looking for Yue. This was becoming a pattern... a serious issue he'd have to think through later. Why the terra did he always find himself looking for her? What was his excuse this time? Ah, right... some boulderdirt about Nic or something.

Her hand was very warm. Blaze sighed a little. That was the only way she knew how to live. After a little while, she readjusted herself and put her head on his shoulder.

Yue was in her favorite dinning hall, drinking... hot chocolate? Yep, she was poking at the tiny marshmallows floating at the surface.
