[Seahorse Cabin campfire, noonish]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec dragged himself outside as his hangover receded to the tolerance point, and situated himself in the shade with a cooler full of water bottles. Warm as it was, shorts, t-shirt and bare feet seemed the order of the day, in addition to keeping well-hydrated.

He might also have been rereading a certain romance novel that Z had loaned him, purely to pass the time. But he was, of course, up for interruptions.

Buffy was walking back from town after talking to Susan. She spotted Alec and, grinning widely, approached him. "Good morning!" she chirped happily. "How are you doing today? Reading? Books are boring. Why are you reading?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec looked up, eyeing Buffy warily. He may not have been hungover anymore, but he wasn't quite into cheerful yet. "It's a good book and I'm not in the mood to go jogging. What's got you so chirpy?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

She dropped down on the grass next to him, folding her legs under her to avoid flashing the entire world. The li'l tiny skirt still rode up her hips though. "Jaye was so right. Boykissy is pretty," Buffy grinned at him. "And I got photos! Also, I was promised a lollipop."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec snickered, eyes following the line of her skirt a little less subtley than he would have usually done. "Jaye is a conniving woman. Also, I demand a cut should you be making any money from those pictures. Who promised lollipops?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"The shrink lady promised lollipops," Buffy explained. She frowned at him when she noticed the way he was looking at her, then just shook her head. "Jaye is very helpful. She told me about li'l tiny phones with music and cameras! So now I want one. Do you have one?"

She elegantly skipped the other question.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Shrink lady did. Okay." Alec frowned, lowering his book. "A cell phone, you mean?"

He totally filed away her avoiding answering that question.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I have, like, this -" She pulled a ten year old Nokia phone out of her purse. "-But Jaye said there are better phones now." Jaye hadn't lied about boykissy, surely she wouldn't like about phones? "With music," she repeated. "And cameras."

She might not be carrying her camera around the next time a boykissy happened, but she'd be sure to carry her phone. A camera in the phone would be totally handy.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec looked alarmed as she pulled out the old cell phone. "Yeah, you could get a way better phone than that," he said. "With a camera and music, even. You could probably knock someone out with that thing you've got."

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy looked down at her phone then tilted her head and gave Alec's head a considering look. "You think so?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"...Or not." He gave her another suspicious look. "Are you asking for my help in getting you a phone?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"I helped you find pants," Buffy pointed out. She lowered the hand with the phone and tried to look like she totally hadn't contemplated bashing him over the head with it. "And tech stuff is totally a guy thing."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"You could ask instead of threatening me with bodily harm," he suggested, reaching for an unopened water bottle. "I could probably help."

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy considered objecting, but decided to by-pass it in favour of going straight to the asking. She shifted on to her knees and looked at Alec with huge eyes. Puppies would be impressed, really. "Please, please, please help me find a nice shiny phone that plays music? Even though I don't get how you can fit a cd in a phone smaller than mine."

Jaye's wearing sunglasses, just because she really doesn't like the light today and hasn't exactly been able to get rid of the headache. But she also doesn't want to be inside anymore, so she comes out and flops onto the grass. Again. "Bad move," she decides immediately.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

He grins. "Had any water yet?"

[fates_jaye]

"Yuh huh. All day. I kinda hate it now," she says, but holds her hand out anyway because yay hydration.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I'll win any points saying I heal quickly, but I'll do it anyway," he says, pulling a bottle from the cooler and twisting off the cap before handing it over.

[fates_jaye]

Jaye has to actually sit up, but she takes the bottle, and takes a drink from it. "So, yay boykissy," she says, and she can't say that without a smile.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec grimaces faintly, but that could be realizing he lost his place in his book. "You got me twice, you. I think I'm owed another kiss."

[fates_jaye]

"You didn't have to do anything," she points out. "I just asked nicely."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"You plied us with alcohol!" He complains, though already rather resignedly. "Anyway, I guess your party was a success."

[fates_jaye]

"I'm happy with it," she grins, adjusting the sunglasses so no offensive sunlight can change her mind. "Did you have fun at least?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"It was an experience," he says, throwing back a swallow from his own water bottle. "And the girlkissy was very pretty." Alec grins somewhat distractedly at that memory.

[fates_jaye]

"Rory's a good kisser," she admits. "See, I stopped myself from drinking before I forgot it all. Yay me."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec allows himself to be a little more distracted. "Mmm. And hey, I wasn't very drunk at all, so no forgetting here either." He wrinkles his nose a little, maybe at the insinuation or that he really hasn't forgotten anything.
