Nova
we dream in colors
When Hadama confirmed his experience with the meat, Nova jumped up from the sand, smile beaming. "That's great! I'm sure it will be delicious then!" She clapped her hands along with the words, mouth already watering with anticipation. "Oh! I'll find firewood!" And then she was gone, sprinting down the sand again.
Within a few minutes, she'd gathered a pile of driftwood, perfect for catching fire. Pulling a box of matches from her pocket (she started carrying them after seeing Jack use them and they'd come in handy multiple times since), Nova struck one to light a spark. Her following giggle was somewhat maniacal as she brought the flame close to her eyes, the flickering light highlighting the tiny stars across her face. With a transition into a hum, she released the match to the pile of wood, watching as it caught on the small sticks she'd laid beneath. Settling next to her sister, she watched with delight as the fire grew.
