Even though Ace was pretty reluctant to leave Bluebell and the school for so long, he had been dragged along into the wilderness only kicking and screaming a little. He'd never gone camping before, the whole experience was rather alien and he was quite convinced he was too old and battered to be sleeping in a tent, but Ellie was happy and seeing that kind of put him into a goofy state of... relaxation? When was the last time he had relaxed?
"Yeah well, I haven't got poison ivy on my ass yet" he joked, running a hand lazily through her hair.
