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!]

"Ouch," Cally said, wincing a bit in sympathy. "But don't worry. You've got to do a lot worse to make me get violent. Especially now that I've got Nicky to look after. Can't go around getting in fights all the time."

"Yeah, that doesn't usually stop people where I'm from," Rose told her with an easy shrug. She glanced down at the kid, wondering if Janine had ever thought of giving up fighting after she'd had Rose.

"Well, I'm all he has," Cally said. "So I guess I'm trying the responsible 'taking care of myself so I can take care of him' thing." She shrugged. "It's actually pretty new for me."

"It's pretty cool," Rose said seriously. "I bet you're an awesome mother."

Cally smiled, and ducked her head a bit. "Thanks," she said. "I'm just doing the best I can. We'll see in a few years what little Nicky here thinks."

And that's when Nicky finally started crying.

"I think that's the signal that I need to put him to bed."

"Good luck with it," Rose said, giving them both a little wave. "And night."
