Fruits, eh? Yvette closed her eyes and nodded her head. Fruits are nice, Fruit Salad is even better, even though that wasn't exactly what the barbarian woman was fixing them all up, it was worth imagining nonetheless. Seeing Ivara get all pumped up and excited about actually cooking the stuff made Yvette's grin even bigger, a moment of reprieve is just what some of them needed and to see them all huddled together by the warmth of fire-or lack thereof-was a soothing thought.
Well, soothing for some of them. The wench watched as Ivara struggled to light the fire, thinking if she could use some help in igniting the thing but threw the box away in her anger. She murmured something unintelligible before asking Ophelia for help. What followed was an act of impromptu charades and magic tricks. With the Kinnon sibling hurting herself in the process, in that moment Yvette rushed to her side and gave a concerned look at her comrade. "Are you hurt?! Nothing too painful I hope?" she said before glancing at the fire that was now radiating with a glow that just made everything a little better. She sighed, telling Ophelia to take things easy and not herself any more than she has to, before standing up to retrieve some more wood from the surrounding area in case they needed it.
A couple of twigs here and there, some cracking under the heel of her boots, others in plain sight, maybe having to cut a few just make sure the o'l rapier was still sharp as ever. Returning to where their little camp site was, Yvette set aside her little treasure collection of twigs beside her as she sat down near the fire and began to gaze at it with a forlorn look in her eyes. Watching the tongues of flame dance as the wood cackled and cracked, she couldn't help but be so transfixed at it when it was just that; fire. She shook her head, trying to get her mind off of things better left unsaid and began to hum and sign a tune, a shanty from when she was still sailing the fair seas. Or rather what she remembered of it.
"The Diamond is a ship, me lads for the Dead Man's Strait she's bound. Captain Thompson gives the order to sail the ocean far and wide, where the sunrise never sets nor darkness dims the sky. So cheer up my lads, let your hearts never fail."
A song they would always sing during those tough times of uncertain, usually sung by the crew after an unsuccessful day or haul.
