Log;

If Neil is still bothered by the week, by the deal Todd made, it doesn't show. How much of that is a brave front is anyone's guess. He looks-- well, more alive than usual, cheeks flushed from the heat of their small fire. He might as well enjoy it, after all; what's done is done. Besides, it is a nice change. He doesn't bother with the book tonight, perched comfortably on a stone as he delivers their invocation;

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life, and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived."

Anne knows she shouldn't be here; Arthur and Merlin wouldn't want her going out without them. They seem convinced that she's still going to keel over dead at any moment. But she's feeling better -- she knows she's better! -- and the Dead Poets Society is the perfect opportunity to prove it. To herself, at least. It's a secret society, so she can't exactly tell anyone about it.

She curls up close to the fire, listening to Neil speak and wondering what poem she should recite.

Neil was a tad surprised to see Anne, but he's not going to make a big deal of it. He is going to keep an eye on her, though, to make sure she doesn't overtax herself, and he's glad to see her keeping warm-- July or not, the evenings have a surprising chill to them. He casts a little smile in her direction.

sob next tag she'll say something, i swear /is too tired for Anne to chatter

Anne smiles at Neil and looks around at the others, wondering if any of them are going to share anything.

Todd's seated not-too-far from Anne, and is happy to see her out and about, even if he is a bit surprised; and suspects that she's probably not supposed to be out.

Of course, he's not going to be the one to say anything about it, and quietly clears his throat.

"I... wrote something," his voice is incredibly soft, though the words go a long way to show how comfortable he's getting, "I--I don't know, I thought I might read it..."

Anne lights up. "Please do!" she says. "I want to hear it desperately!"
