Aten forms a ring around them, a low burning fire trying to provide them with a bit more warmth.

“Thank you, Aten,” Yuna smiles at the ring of fire fondly. 

He flickers, pleased. "You're welcome."

"Here," Anri pulls a blanket out of eir bag and wraps it around Yuna and eirself. "Me and Hasira used to curl up like this before Cid found us."

Yuna cuddles into Anri. “I’m glad you two had each other, despite everything. And I’m even gladder Cid found you.”

"Yeah. I'm glad- I'm glad you didn't have to go through anything like that. Not having your parents must've been...tough. But. You had people who cared a great deal for you."

“My friends have always been like my family. And I suppose I still had Cid, out there.” 

Its clear that she considers Anri part of that family already. 

Anri cuddles closer. "Family isn't always about blood," ey agrees.

“I’ve found lately that blood doesn’t matter much. It’s connection that brings us together.”

Auron nods to himself. 

"Exactly!"

Aten pulses warmly around them, the literal connection he has to Yuna filled with his...wonder at being included in this.

"Of course you're included, Aten. You're as much my family as anyone else."

"Probably more so in some ways. The connection to an aeon..."

Yuna smiles softly. “We’re a part of each other,” she agrees. 

It's a strange thought, a strange feeling, but yes, they are.

Yuna smiles, and then settles down to sleep, exhausted from accepting a new aeon.

“You should sleep too.” Auron directs his look at Anri.

Ey looks over to him. "You have someone to keep watch?"

"I don't sleep."

"Funny that," Anri comments, but lies down and wraps a blanket around emself.

"Not funny enough," Auron comments, but lets her be.

Then ey will sleep.

And Aten continues to burn around them.

The next morning, Auron wakes them early. "Something's wrong."
