Flamingo Camp Fire (unlit) - Friday Late Morning

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica had *handwavily* crashed on Weevil's couch after work last night since it was storming and she didn't feel like walking all the way back to camp in the rain. She assumed Archie hadn't made it because of the weather.

After taking a shower and brewing a pot of coffee, she decided to sit outside and enjoy the now much more tolerable weather.

"Okay, just checking," Veronica said with a smile.

"So what did you do last night while I was slaving away at work and getting hit on by Cameron's gnome?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Not much of anything, really. I read a little bit and -- gnome?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica shrugged. "Cameron had no idea where he came from, said there were a bunch in his cabin yesterday morning. The little guy was kind of cute. I gave him beer and I swear he was trying to impress me with his tap dancing skills."

"I should know better than to ask by now," Archie chuckled. "Please tell me I won't have to challenge a gnome to a duel. What we would use to duel with, I have no idea. Water pistols? Can gnomes use water pistols?"

"There would be no competition," Veronica said. "The gnome is way cuter."

Archie had far too much dignity to pout at Veronica.

But subtle, playful lower-lip quivering? That wasn't beneath him.

There was only way to stop a quivering lower-lip.

So Veronica leaned over and kissed Archie.

Archie had not exactly been banking on this as a result, but he certainly wasn't complaining as he wrapped his arm around Veronica's shoulders.

Veronica leaned her head on Archie's shoulder and grinned up at him.

"You could have totally taken the gnome in a drinking contest," she offered.

Archie chuckled. "I have the unfair advantage of having had daily rations of rum."

"You've also got a bit more body weight than the gnome," Veronica pointed out. "He was very wee." She held up her hands to estimate how small the gnome was.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"See?" Archie grinned. "Unfair advantage."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"But can you tap dance?" Veronica teased.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie blinked. "Damn."

Veronica lifted her head and kissed him again.
