Three-Toed Sloth Campfire - Sunday [just after sunset]

Marie spent the majority of the day hiding in her room. She was avoiding talking about last night packing for the two week trip to the cabins.

Now that she was comfortably ensconced in Alcove B4, she decided to be brave sociable and start a campfire.

"Your brother," Marie said. "You just asked me if I knew him."

"What brother? Jett? No, Jett doesn't go to school here," Joxer said quickly.

"Oh, then why did you ask me if I knew him?" Marie asked, not realizing he'd used two different names.

Joxer realized his charade wasn't working. Or, at least, he was convinced it wasn't.

"I... I don't talk about my brother Jace," he said. "Because Jace likes other boys, and Jett and I agreed to never acknowledge his existence in public."

"There seems to be a lot of that going around lately," Marie said sympathetically.

"You having trouble finding somebody special?" Joxer asked, looking sympathetic.

Marie shrugged. "I went on a date last night and it didn't go so well."

[identity profile] joxertehmighty.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Joxer nodded. "You know what makes everything better?" He pulled a flask out of his armor. "A nice drink."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't drink," Marie said. "Willow and I were supposed to eat ice cream, but we didn't have time."

[identity profile] joxertehmighty.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Joxer unscrewed the cap of his flask. "You can drink this, cause it's only water," he said, offering it to Marie. "It's the sentiment of sharing it with a friend that makes it special."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Marie smiled and took the flask. "Well thank you," she said, taking a tentative sip.

"You're welcome," Joxer said. "I'd offer to be your personal hero," he added, pressing a hand against his breastplate. "But my heart belongs to Kaylee."

Even if his eyes and hands had a tendency to wander. A lot.

"You be faithful to her," Marie said. "And you can just be my friend."

[identity profile] joxertehmighty.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Wouldn't dream of being anything else," Joxer said. "Faithful, I mean. If there wasn't Kaylee I could dream about you, I think. But I can't, since, you know, girlfriend, and oh, isn't this log made of wood? I think it is." He knocked on it with his knuckles. "Yes, definitely wood."

"That's good to know," Marie said, not touching the rest of Joxer's stream of consciousness.

[identity profile] joxertehmighty.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Always, yes," Joxer said, with a slight cough. "So who was the dumb jerk who screwed up trying to date you?"

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Conner," Marie said, figuring it was no secret and had probably been on the radio, not that she'd listened.

"He's the guy who made fun of my ball volley skills," Joxer said. "Well, him and my own teammate, actually."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Your own teammate made fun of you?" Marie asked, outraged. "Who's that?"

[identity profile] joxertehmighty.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Some guy named Anders," Joxer said. "Never really met him before."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Marie's eyes narrowed. "That's just mean," she declared. "He's a jerk."

Yeah, she may have other reasons for thinking that, skewed as they might be.

[identity profile] joxertehmighty.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Joxer nodded. "Didn't exactly lead us to victory," he said. "But enough of this unhappy stuff," Joxer said. "I'm thinking you need something specialer than shared water to cheer you up."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm doing better," Marie said. "Really. He apologized and everything."

[identity profile] joxertehmighty.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, then I won't have to go beat him up for slandering your honor," Joxer said. "Unless you want me to. Then I can overlook the apologizing."

[identity profile] untouchableskin.livejournal.com 2006-07-10 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"It's sweet of you to offer," Marie said. And yeah, she meant it. "But that's okay."
