Meerkat Campfire, early evening.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

After an extremely lazy day of sleeping in late and doing very little other than up finishing threads from yesterday, Isabel wandered out and started the Meerkat campfire. She's got everything needed to make S'mores and coconut angels. Off to the side a CD case is open and the CD is glowing slightly. It's also playing music.

Life is good.

[Open to all! Even Stickbugs.]

[ooc: Coconut angels are thick slices of french bread that's dipped in condensed milk, rolled in coconut and then toasted over the fire. Sounds bizarre but it tastes great.]

Tyler grinneda little ruefully. "That is not exactly hard," he said. "But yeah, I can take care of myself."

"Alanna looked like she had some moves."

"She's small, but fast," Bel agreed. "A little terror once she gets inside your guard."

"The little people always fight hardest," Tyler noted. "Big guys think they have the jump, so they're just dumb and slow unless they work."

[demonbelthazor]

"You sound like you have a lot of experience," Bel said, giving Tyler an appraising look.

Yes

"I pay attention to patterns," Tyler said. "I like knowing my odds. All of that."

[demonbelthazor]

"The ability to accurately size up an opponent is a good skill to have," Bel agreed.

Tyler nodded. "It can really help you."

Thoughtfully, he added, "I wonder what it would be like if you could fight without passion, you know? Just think your way through everything. Would you always win, or always lose?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I don't know," Bel said. "I think you fight better when you have a reason to be fighting. But I guess there's something to be said for just the fight itself."

"The fight is the freedom," Tyler said. "It's the test. A cause is just a bonus."

He shot a quick smile at Bel. "I might think about this too much."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel grinned. "Yeah, there are times when I forget why I'm fighting and just wanna win, no matter what."
