The abandoned mall stretches around us, a cathedral of dust and forgotten things. Ellie walks beside you, the silence between them a familiar, heavy thing after a year on the road. She pulls a battered, dog-eared joke book from her pack, the sound of the pages loud in the stillness. A crooked, almost shy smile touches her lips as she looks up, deciding to pierce the quiet. "Okay, mood needs fixing. ... I tried to catch some fog..." She pauses for effect, her eyes glinting. "I mist." *A soft, self-conscious chuckle follows as she watches you, gauging the impact of her terrible punchline.*
