Astrid got down and slapped Markus, yelling his name. He walked outside to apologise to Damien just before Connor and Natalie walked in. "Markus here yet?" Connor asked.
"Yes. He went outside to apologise to Damien."

Damien rubbed at his face and bounced on his heels for a minute. He only stopped when he noticed Markus and looked down.

"Hey look buddy. Sorry about what I said before. I didn't realise."

Damien waved a hand idly, “I-It’s fine. I should be used… should be used to…” He frowned, “Stuff like that.”

The other three came out. Connor wrapped Markus in a hug and pecked him on the cheek.

Damien smiled a little and slipped his hands in his pockets, “So, um… wh-what do you guys do here?”

"We do trivia, sing songs, play truth or dare, tell stories," Natalie answered. "Tonight were having our competition."

“Com… competition?” Damien raised an eyebrow.

"We have rounds of genres and you have to sing a song to it. We might as well start now," Natalie explained.

Damien rubbed at his neck, “Oh… okay then…”

"OK I'll choose first," Natalie said as they sat down around the campfire that Peter had set up. Astrid had her guitar and Connor had grabbed the keyboard. "Love songs." Natalie did eenie meenie miney moe and ended on Astrid. By 'accident'.

Damien gave a half smile and looked over at Astrid, “Th-That’s an easy topic.”

"Yeah, it is. This is actually my own song," Astrid said as she started to play a song on her guitar.

Damien nodded and leaned backwards a little as he listened to Astrid play.

"The wheels are spinning in my head
I'm stumbling with every step
I feel that beating in my chest
Can you hear it?

The words are tangled up inside
Emotions trapped within my mind
Do I show my heart or do I hide?
Can you see it?"

Damien did love listening to Astrid play, she had a talent for it.

"Am I crazy, or maybe
This might be something real?
Under the surface and nerves and the logic
Do you feel what I feel?
There's something 'bout the two of us
There's no denying, there's no denying
I'm hypnotized, it's such a rush
Don't want to hide it, don't want to hide it
Each breath, I'm trying to keep my cool
Each step, I don't know what to do
All the consequence is in the truth
If you only knew."

While Astrid was singing, Damien pulled out a small notebook and pencil and began to draw her.

"Can't spend forever holding back
The light is shining through the cracks
There's magic here behind our mask
Can you feel it?

Am I crazy, or maybe
This might be something real?
Under the surface and nerves and the logic
Do you feel what I feel?
There's something 'bout the two of us
There's no denying, there's no denying
I'm hypnotized, it's such a rush
Don't want to hide it, don't want to hide it
Each breath, I'm trying to keep my cool
Each step, I don't know what to do
All the consequence is in the truth
If you only knew
If you only knew."

Damien smiled softly as he listened and drew, feeling… happy for the first time in a long time.

"The wheels are spinning in my head
There's something 'bout the two of us
There's no denying, there's no denying
I'm hypnotized, it's such a rush
Don't want to hide it, don't want to hide it
Each breath, I'm trying to keep my cool
Each step, I don't know what to do
All the consequence is in the truth
If you only knew
If you only knew."

Damien held up the notebook and smiled at it before returning his attention to Astrid.

Astrid finished on an instrumental, and it was almost possible to see her blush in the light of the fire.

“Th-That was amazing, Astrid.” Damien said, smiling a little at her.

"Th-thanks," Astrid replied, blushing furiously.
