[ It is rather uneventful, Nico picking his way through the dark with ease. He even scoops up all the firewood into his arms on his own, so really Verso is just along to look pretty. (He's doing great!)
Once back at camp, Nico sets to work getting a fire built. ]
You live here, oui? Do you spend all your time trying to deal with the Paintress?
[And Verso sets to helping him! Once it's ready, he summons his shortblade again, the blade hot with chroma-induced warmth. A quick rake against the firewood ensures that it catches flame.
It's not the most traditional way to go about it, but it works.]
Yes, I live wherever makes for the safest camp, if that's what you mean.
[As a vagrant tends to do.]
And... well, the Paintress is more than what one person can usually handle. Every year, I wait for the newest Expedition to make land here. Sometimes I miss them completely. But other times, I try to offer my aid — or otherwise see if they'd be of any help, one way or another.
[Ha. He simultaneously has all the time in the world for those, and yet sometimes the spark of willingness is missing. Such is the reality of living the way he does.]
I might not look it... but I'm an artist and a musician.

[ He reaches out to grasp Verso's hands, once again sturdy but clearly holding back. ]
It is delightful, non? You must tell me! What is your preferred medium? Your favorite instrument? Perhaps we can play together!
[ Says man without an instrument on him. ]
