[It's the night following the Quicksand Incident. After they're back at the cave, and they've all individually nursed their wounded prides and gotten cleaned up, Ryunosuke will eventually make his way around to wherever Yujin is sitting... Presumably in front of one of the fires, since it's after dark. He approaches, smiling a little awkwardly, his thick winter travel cloak draped over his shoulders.]
[He doesn't need to be asked twice. Yujin scoots over to make space for Ryunosuke by the crackling fire. The desert heat's traded out for a chilly night at remarkable speed-- as far as he's concerned, this is the best seat in the house. After the Incident, they both deserve it.
Yujin gazes out the mouth of the cave and up into the vast expanse of sand and sky. With his own sheepish smile, he glances back to Ryunosuke:]
As miserable as it is out here... it's beautiful, too, I have to admit. There's so many stars.
[Ryunosuke smiles gratefully before settling down, following Yujin's gaze out to the starry skies above. He hums in agreement.]
I think there can still be a sort of beauty present, even in scenes of devastation... Either that, or the sky is so beautiful that even the ugliness of this world can't take away from it.
[It's the sort of unfiltered nonsense observation that he would have once been mortified to blurt out in front of Yujin, but. Now? He doesn't even think twice about it.]
...It's incredible to think that we've even been up among those stars.
[Their missions have taken them to some amazing places, for all the trials that they've faced.]
