Meerkat Campfire, evening

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

The cabin is back, or visible at least since it never really went anywhere. She survived cheerleading practice without injury and the rain seems to have stopped. All in all, not a bad day. Now it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the last campfire and the last s'more for a while.

"Very chivalrous of you," she says seriously.

"Just a gentleman helping a damsel in distress," Dean agreed.

[fates_jaye]

"Do you need to be glued to anything?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Did we keep you awake?" Dean countered.

[fates_jaye]

"No," says Jaye, neglecting to mention there's a reason for that.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Well then," Dean said, spreading his hands. "Doesn't sound like we did anything with gluing to me."

[fates_jaye]

"What about for fun?" she asks, just because.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Well then it would be war," Dean smiled baring his teeth.

[fates_jaye]

Jaye considers this.

Dean watched her and waited.

[fates_jaye]

"Eh," she says. "Maybe later."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Whenever," Dean said good naturedly. "So what were you up to today?"

[fates_jaye]

"Mocked cheerleading practice," she says. "Well... went to mock, didn't do much mocking."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I heartily approve of mocking cheerleading practice," Dean said. "What did you end up doing other than mocking?"

[fates_jaye]

"Nothing of note. What about you?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Sparred with Aeryn, then had gun club in the afternoon." He grinned wolfishly. "If I have any aggressions left, it's not my fault."

[fates_jaye]

"Hitting things and shoothing things. That's very Boys Life of you," she says, shaking her head.

"It's training," Dean clarified. "Dad will expect us to keep sharp just in case."

[fates_jaye]

"But summer is for slacking."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean shook his head. "I've never been allowed to slack. Too dangerous. Never know when something's going to happen that you have to be ready for."

[fates_jaye]

"Did you miss a memo?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean suddenly got very serious. "I tried slacking off once. I was nine, went and played video games instead of keeping an eye on Sammy. And Sammy almost got his soul sucked out of him by some kind of child eating creature. I don't slack. I can't afford to."

Jaye listens to this and blinks. And at the same time wonders if it happened to Sharon. "I can see where a lesson would be learned from that..." she admits.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Just a little one, yeah."

[fates_jaye]

She's not exactly good leaving things on downer notes, so she says, "I can do shadow puppets."

And deformed rabbits at him.
