Earwig Campfire | Saturday Night

If there was something Dimitri was good at when it came to camping, it was building a decent fire. He could even manage the part about sitting and staring at the fire while his mind churned through all the things he wasn't supposed to be worrying about. It wasn't emo, guardians didn't get emo, it was more an unfortunate awareness.

Clearly this was why God invented campfire food. And why Dimitri had gathered a pile of sticks and a bag of marshmallows.

In a week everything would be different. Back to a normal he didn't want to remember where his heightened senses would be of better use than determining just when his marshmallow was cooked to perfection. And a normal where he wouldn't allow himself to remember where he'd learned this particular method of burning marshmallows.

Dimitri sniffed the air. Acquired tastes be damned, his marshmallow was burnt as hell.

[Open like a campfire!]

Without even thinking about it, Jaina clicked her throat in consideration. "Fine, have a valid point. Especially since you're still a dorms-dweller, and being out here is more suspicious."

Sorry, Rose was too busy staring at Jaina. "...what did you do there with your ....sound?"
solo_sword: (listening)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
She had no idea what Rose was talking about at first. "Hm? My sound?"

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"The clicky thing?" she said. "In your throat. I dunno how to do it so I'm not even going to try."
solo_sword: (hair in face)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh," she said, making a face. "Joiner leftover. It's probably best you don't try it. You might end up talking about mating or something without meaning to."

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Rose was still just staring. Staring. "No, if we're gonna talk about mating, I wanna know what the hell I'm saying."
solo_sword: (laughing)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, we don't have to talk about mating," Jaina said, unable to not laugh. "We could talk about something else."

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"No, no, now I wanna talk about mating," she laughed with Jaina. "You're an older woman and stuff. Come on, give advice."
solo_sword: (hanging out)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't want to know how much advice I should not be giving on that subject," she warned, and added teasingly, "Thanks for rubbing it in!"

She'd definitely call home to check on Jag's status later.

"Jeez, my whole opinion of you is totally different now," she teased back. "Here I thought you were all 'older woman of the world' - err, universe, whatever."
solo_sword: (considering)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't have time. I'm too busy working and being absorbed by nests and working more." And she was tired of feeling heartbroken when she had things to focus on, but saying that might ruin the non-emo campfire of marshmallows. "Can I still be an older woman of the universe? I am still older."

"What do I get if I say yes?" Rose asked.
solo_sword: (hair in face)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"You get me not complaining that you said no," Jaina replied.

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
She snickered and tossed Jaina one of the chocolate bars liberated from the cabin. "Ooh, complaining. Big whoop."
solo_sword: (understated)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
"I've gotten really good at it," she said, catching the chocolate happily. "You'd be proud of me."

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh yeah?" Rose replied. "Like what. Other than Travelocity refusing to take your calls anymore."
solo_sword: (neutral)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"I've gotten a Reputation," Jaina frowned. And yes, the word deserved the capital R. "Disobey the Masters a few times and make it known why and suddenly you're branded as difficult."

Yet another reason they have issues with you right now, Jaina.

"Wonder why," Rose said innocently. Because of course she'd never do such a thing.
solo_sword: (talking)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Complete mystery," she said, unwrapping the chocolate bar. "Hey, at least I'm explaining myself to them."

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
"They probably don't deserve it," she muttered, thinking of Alberta and her reaction to the explanation of the ghosts.
solo_sword: (b&w hair in face)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, they do," she frowned. "A lot of them are friends or family. And they're responsible for my next assignment, and I don't like ending up on kitchen duty." She ended up on it a lot. Like a lot.

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I thought there weren't enough jedi or something," Rose said, frowning. "They'd seriously not let you do your job?"
solo_sword: (listening)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
"It's going that way," Jaina shrugged. "Three got banished, at least two have quit, and I'm here. Though me being here was by choice. I'd probably just end up on assignments I'd hate to teach me a lesson, in addition to the kitchen duty."

[identity profile] guardianborn.livejournal.com 2010-08-15 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
She considered that thoughtfully, not entirely sure what to say. "At least here you have chocolate."
solo_sword: (okay)

[personal profile] solo_sword 2010-08-15 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Jaina grinned. "Thank you, by the way," she said, taking a bite.
