END OF AN ERA / bonfire

[PEPPINO]

There were more fire hazards than there should be here. Pip could feel the heat wavering off of it from where he stood, and it had his stomach clenching, raw skin prickling, but he did his best not to indulge the foolishness. Nonetheless, he kept the fire at his front, where he could see it, and further scrutinized the area. The leaves had been swept away, at least, but then Feliks had -for some reason- chosen to set out hay. Lots of it, as though for participants to lie upon, and he would have felt more comfortable if there were some sort of barrier between the bonfire and the hay, but it wasn't a fire pit. He was certain someone had the ability to control the fire should it escape, though that did not comfort him very much, and the young canine checked on the aloe supply given to him by Val, just in case. It was the only reason Pip decided to stay, seating himself at the periphery of the area, glancing briefly at the stick in the dirt, at the game clearly meant for it. Bakugou was the only other person besides Feliks present, and had some interest in the horseshoes.

Pip wouldn't participate, though, instead pulling out small tins from his satchel to work on creating more first-aid pouches, occasionally looking to the bonfire, as though making certain nothing had happened yet. Staring at it so often wasn't especially reassuring, in all honesty.
