Rumor Gal Campfire; Thursday Evening

While he was getting pretty damn tired of the whole cabin thing, Chuck would have been stupid not to take advantage of an already lit fire and the new bag of marshmallows he found in the kitchen. He wasn't quite sure who kept buying the marshmallows but Zefron bless them.

Joint in his left hand, Chuck tried his hand at trying to flick marshmallows in the air with his right and catching them in his mouth. Turns out he had a talent for it.

[Mmm my hangover is finally subsiding. Ooooopen, of course]

"I don't think I've had the pleasure," he admitted, "though we may have had a class together. You're seeing me at my most social. I haven't really mingled a lot since arriving here."

"How come?" Claire asked. "Everyone here seems really nice."

"I'm not a big people person," came the glib reply. Except for the part where he was a diplomat and leader and could talk to people just fine. "I'm not really used to dealing with people my own age," he added a little more seriously.

"Well, I think we need to get you out more," she decided with a grin.

"I think I just had a chill go down my back when you said that," Edmund said dryly, but he was smiling. "What would that entail?"

"Hmmm, we'll be going back to the dorms soon," Claire said. "So I guess common rooms would be a good start. Maybe the Boardwalk. Or, ooh, I haven't checked out the bowling alley yet."

"I'll try to attend," he said in a non-committal way. Oh yes, he was trying to get out of it now.

"We can schedule it around you," she told him.

Like it would be that easy. After all, she not only knew where he lived, but had an in.

"My schedule is annoyingly open," he admitted begrudgingly.

Claire grinned. "See? We'll have all kinds of fun!"

"I hope you won't take offence if I reserve judgement on that until after the fact."

"You don't trust me?" she teased.

[identity profile] once-a-traitor.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"I wouldn't go that far. Let's settle for cautiously optimistic."

[identity profile] wantstocheer.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Claire grinned. "I'll take it. Are you seeing anyone? Maybe we could make it a double date."

[identity profile] once-a-traitor.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Er, no," Edmund said awkwardly. "There's no one like that, though thank you for the kind offer."

[identity profile] wantstocheer.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Claire nodded. "Well, then we'll just get a group together."

"To do...bowling," Edmund tried to sound upbeat. He was digging himself a deeper hole. Not that it wasn't a good thing, it just so happened to be something he'd avoided for over a year.

"Unless you don't like bowling," Claire said. "We can find something else fun to do that isn't you sitting around your dorm room."

Edmund clearly should not have told a cheerleader that he spent a year being anti-social.

"I'll be perfectly honest with you," said Edmund, wondering if he would regret it. "I've never been bowling so I can't say whether I like it one way or another."

[identity profile] wantstocheer.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then you won't know if you don't try," Claire said. "We'll plan a bowling trip soon."

"I defer to your logic," he replied diplomatically. "Plus, you know where I live. There's no escaping now."

[identity profile] wantstocheer.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Claire grinned. "Exactly."

Edmund dipped his head. "Then you know where to find me when arrangements are made."
