"You know me too well." Rin smiled as she mouthed the words. She'd finally sort of got used to Len being gone. Boy, I'm gonna hug him 'til his bones crack… oh wait, that's no good. She shook off the notion. "And yeah, why not?" They headed towards the exit.

"Mm… speak of it, yeah, why not? You, me. Camping trip. You in?"
