"I am pretty sure this isn't here." Tess corrected her girlfriend.
"It's a tent, it can't be that hard?" Kit replied. The tent collapsed again. "Fuck."
The Brimm threw the piece on the ground and sat on the big green piece of fabric.
"You know what? We can sleep outside. It's fine."
Tess replied:
"Let me try."
The other girl shrugged and got up. In the blink of an eye, the tent was up.
"Thank you!" Kit smiled and kissed the French's cheek.
"No problem." A reply followed.
Tess laid in front of the camp fire that was earlier lit by Kit with a fire bean. The Brimm brough a red and gray blanket, laid next to her and put it iver them. The surface dweller smiled and put her head in her girlfriend's shoulder. Tess' dreadlocks' rings shone, looking like a little flames dancing in her hair and around her head, reminding Kit of a halo of the most beautiful angel in the skies or a Sun goddess who had came to the Earth–
"The stars are beautiful tonight." Tess' melodic voice pulled Kit out of her thoughts.
The Brimm looked up. Over them were thousands of stars and constellations all sharing their tales.
"Yeah. Ursa Major is over there." Kit pointed at the constellation.
"Oh no, poor Evelin! Rest in peace, you're gonna be missed." Tess' laugh pierced the air. It reminded Kit of the tiny bells grandpa Ernst puts on the Christmas tree that ring every time someone opens the door.
The Brimm wrapped her left hand around her girlfriend's bare shoulders and kissed her cheek. The French smiled and kissed her. Then they looked up at the stars again.
"How is learning sign language going?" Tess asked.
"Great!" Kit smiled. "T taught me more curses last time we talked."
"She did? Damn, she should teach me too."
"Studying in a public school is definitely broadening her vocabulary."
"Fuck yeah. I am super happy for her."
"Same."
Silence fell in the air. The only thing that could be heard were an owl and the cycads. Some fireflies were starting to come near them.
"I can't wait to live and study together with you." The Brimm whispered, as if sharing a great secret that if someone else somewhere hiding in the forest heard would become a disaster.
"Same. Soon we will." A quiet reply followed and Tess' soft lips stood once again against Kit's. The German kissed her back, sealing their promise.
