"Ugh, finally," Cam muttered as they passed between the trees into the Oasis. As an Ascended, they no longer tired out on long walks around Caido the way they had before; it felt like they were in the best shape of their life. But that didn't make the trek through the Outskirts any less boring or depressing. They were glad to have reached the Glade and the Oasis, ready to try sketching some flowers or animals or whatever they managed to see -- any of the things they would have photographed back at home. If their sketchbook was to replace their camera, they had a lot of practicing to do.
Of course, it felt a little weird to be out sketching in the middle of the night, but Cam's Ascended darkvision made that no problem. Actually, it was a neat effect -- colors didn't look the same in the dark as they did in the light, something Cam hoped to capture in a painting or something. They just had to make sure to leave with enough time to make it to shelter before the sun came up; they didn't want to be trapped here all day, trying to stay in the shade.
Looking around the edges of the Oasis' pool, Cam tried to figure out a good spot to start from. Maybe they could search for cool flowers as subjects? As their eyes roamed around, they were already pulling the backpack from their back, reaching inside for their sketchbook and pencil.
