Summary
The Hunter felt more than saw Nata settle beside her; the cot dipped beneath his slight frame, and his boot-clad foot accidentally bumped hers. Kid didn't seem to notice, or, at least, he didn't make note of it. He pulled out his own whetstone and his dagger. The dagger was comically dwarfed by the Hunter's own weapons, as Nata was by her, but it was a decent size for a child and held the gleam and sharpness of well-tempered steel. He watched her sharpening technique, then mimicked it, his whetstone rasping over the blade.
The Hunter smiled to herself and carried on with her task. Comfortable silence hung between them for several minutes.
Eventually, Nata broke it. "Can I help with one of your hunts?"
The Hunter's hand stilled. "Pardon?"
"I want to hunt a monster with you," said Nata clearly. "Not just watch or be background support."
Or: Nata wants to tag along for a hunt--for real this time, as a hunter, not just to watch or assist from the back. The Hunter, meanwhile, wants to make damn sure this kid makes it home in one piece, no matter what complications arise.

Summary
Dainix's grip tightened. Falst expected the guy to put him down any second--they were on solid ground, he didn't have to hold Falst anymore--but he held on, for some reason. Falst was tucked up against Dainix's chest, Dainix's heartbeat echoing faintly in his ear.
Or: after rescuing Falst from a fiery doom, Dainix is extremely reluctant to put him down.

Summary
"NO!"
The yell ripped out of Falst as Dainix's core plummeted toward the lava. Falst made a wild grab for it, but all he caught was a scrap of fabric, torn and flaming, disintegrating in his grip. For a moment, Falst felt like he was suspended--weightless, floating over a blazing expanse, while his heart dropped like a stone.
Or: a dip into Falst's point of view when Dainix's core falls into the caldera, and an exploration of what might happen next.

Summary
"Hey," said Dainix. "I have an idea."
"Oh?"
"Kind of... a talking game? I've played it before to get to know friends and squadmates better. Basically, we'd take turns telling each other things that we want or would like. It can be anything, but if it's something the other person can grant, like, say, 'I want to keep holding your hand'--" Dainix squeezed Falst's again--"they can say yes or no based on if they want it too. So you can say 'sure', or if you don't feel like it, you can say 'no' or 'not right now'. And if you say 'sure', I'll keep holding it, and if you say 'no', I'll let go."
Falst stared down at their intertwined fingers. "Um. Sure."
Or: on a sleepless night in the soulshapers' monastery, Dainix has an idea to help him and Falst communicate more. Falst decides to play along and see where it leads.
