Jun. 26th, 2012 08:53 pmHours after emerging from the temple drenched and exhilarated, Erik had finally come down from his adrenaline high. His clothes were dry at last, and with a mug of soup in his hand he settled near the bonfire.
Most of their fellow castaways had vanished, either to sleep or to tend their wounds, but a decent number were still awake and gathered around the fire. Some sat close, some further away, and a low hum of conversation filled the air. It was cool out, and Erik reveled in it, relaxed with his back to a log in just an undershirt. After the past four days of fire, lava and everything else, he'd thought he'd never be cool again.
He glanced up as Mystique settled on the log beside him. She looked as worn out as he felt, but she wasn't sleeping either. He quirked an eyebrow, questioning.
