Squirrel Campfire - Wed. Evening

After returning from her shopping trip into town, Pippi makes a B-line for the Squirrel cabin campfire.

She's got a medium sized blaze going and is cooking hot dogs on sticks over the fire while she sings.

Oh, the ships will come and the ships will go,
As long as the waves do roll:
The sailor lad, likewise his dad,
He loves the flowing bowl:
A lass ashore we do adore,
One that is plump and round, round, round.
When the money is gone, it's the same old song,
Get up, Jack! John, sit down!

Singing, Hey! laddie, ho! laddie,
Swing the capstan 'round, 'round, 'round
When the money is gone it's the same old song,
Get up, Jack! John, sit down!

[I] go and take a trip in a man-o'-war
To China or Japan,
In Asia, there are ladies fair
Who love the sailorman.
When Jack and Joe palavers, O,
And buy the girls a gown, gown, gown.
When the money is gone it's the same old song,
Get up, Jack! John, sit down!

When Jack is ashore he beats his way
Towards some boarding-house:
He's welcome in with his rum and gin,
And he's fed with pork and souse:
For he'll spend and spend and never offend,
But he'll lay drunk on the ground, ground, ground:
When my money is gone it's the same old song:
Get up, Jack! John, sit down!

When Jack is old and weatherbeat,
Too old to roustabout,
In some rum-shop they'll let him stop,
At eight bells he's turned out.
Then he cries, he cries up to the skies:
"I'll soon be homeward bound, bound, bound."
When my money is gone it's the same old song:
Get up, Jack! John, sit down!

"Anything."

Walter realized he was staring and looked back at his banana before wondering if it was just that class or if his mind was seriously in the gutter.

Nadia raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Anything, huh?" She took another bite of hot dog. "That will require some consideration . . . ."

"The offer won't be on the table forever..."

Hoping her mind was somewhere in the same gutter as his? Well, yes.

"But I'm sure you can think of something."

Nadia totally wasn't thinking that they should go explore the abandoned shack.

Okay, so she really was.

"Maybe we should go . . . exploring after dinner. . . ."

"That sounds like fun," Walter said, trying not to sound too eager.
nadiathesaint: (looking up)

Nadia grinned and worked on finishing off her hot dog . . . but not too quickly.

If Walter had been drinking and she hadn't, would she be taking advantage of him?

Bah, his constitution was pretty good. It'd be fine.
