Flamingo campfire, Monday evening

Ivanova hadn't really unpacked, so moving into the cabin hadn't been much of a stretch. An early night had meant that her body had gotten the sleep it needed to kick back onto Fandom time. Now, she had found an Adirondak chair somewhere, got a little crackling fire going, and kicked back to enjoy. Fresh air, open sky . . .

It was good to be home.

[[Open like an open thing, yo.]]

That actually made her blush. "I'm surpried. I didn't think I was that popular when I was here."

"You were, you just didn't take notice. I think it's sweet that you didn't. To many people here worry about things like that, you don't." Maia said, a light smile on her lips, her eyes very bright in the fact she admired Susan's attitude towards that sort of thing even now.

It reminded her of the first time they had gone up to the station, everyone making a fuss over Susan and she just took it all in and stayed the same Susan. She loved that.

"Hmm, now I'm going to get a big head, an ego, and want to join a cheerleading squad or something," Ivanova chuckled. "I'm not really built to be popular in high school, you know."

"What a pair we make them." Maia said with a wicked grin "Because popularity doesn't rank high on my list of things about myself I strive for." She laughed and squeezed Susan's hand for a second before relaxing into her and laying back a little. This is nice

Very nice, Ivanova thought, wondering where that had come from.

"Although I am somewhat bemoaning this lack of privacy we seem to find ourselves with . . ."

Maia leaned her head up and smiled at her, "well we can always sneak off into the secluded areas of the woods or even back to the dorms if you really want privacy. Or I could just kiss you right here." Maia said before leaning in and pressed her lips gently to Susan's. Your choice

Ivanova kissed her back briefly, but pulled away reluctantly, squeezing her hand. "Not here," she said softly. "Too many people. I want it to be special, not a public spectacle."

Maia nodded with a smile. Her heart pounded in her ears for a moment before she nodded again. "So do I." She said and she knew it would be. Even just sitting on Susan's lap by the campfire was more then enough special for Maia.

Ivanova grinned and wrapped an arm around Maia's waist, pulling her closer. Yes, this was very, very nice. "So, how was your day? I didn't even ask yet."

"It was nice. I got some things in town that I might need for my astronomy class and..." Maia smiled even broader and leaned into Ivanova's ear "Things for my other class as well, in case homework comes up."

"Astronomy sounds . . . wait." Ivanova was suddenly wary. "What other class? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Maia's smile became even more seductive as she leaned in again so nobody could over hear her "You'll see. If the course description lives up to it's words."

"Alright, now I'm worried," she said, even if she was laughing as she said it. And, regardless of the other people, she leaned up and kissed Maia softly. "How much longer until we're out of these cabins?" she asked plaintively.

Maia smiled into the kiss but did not deepen it for the onlookers. "Two weeks was the going rate last go around. We can go back to the dorms though, if we 'need' something that isn't in the cabin." She said very gently. Maia wanted to kiss her again but refrained from doing so.

"Ah. I think we might just have to." She sighed. "Although I'm pretty sure I could sit like this all night."

Maia nodded happily, "I like this." She said as she rested her head back against Ivanova's shoulder. "Just like this." She said, her fingers idly playing with Ivanovna's.

"Yeah, it's very relaxing." Ivanova chuckled. "I keep expecting Drazi ninjas to swoop out of nowhere and ruin everything."

Maia relaxed even more, "They would be fools to try, you'd come rushing in, my knight in shining armor. To save the damsel." She said, her fingers still playing lightly against Ivanova's hand. Susan's arm around her waist made Maia feel so safe that if Drazi ninja's did come down, she knew nothing could hurt her.

"Speaking of damsels and knights," Ivanova said languidly, "I went to see Edmund today. We talked about minions." She was quiet for a moment. "I didn't realise how much I missed him."

"That's nice you went to see him." Maia remembered Susan mentioning Edmund in passing once or twice perhaps. "Was he happy to see you?" Maia said slowly, the night air with the fire in front of them made her feel like everything was slowing down to a beautiful pace. She could hear Susan's heart beating as she laid against her, her eyes closed against it while her smile remained in place. "I don't think he could ever be a better knight then you." She said with a contented sigh.

Ivanova laughed. "I don't think he'd be any kind of knight at all. Far too much work and not nearly enough opportunity for sarcasm." She stroked Maia's back slowly, the same languid feeling settling over him. She really could stay like this all night. "He was happy to see me. I think he missed me as much as I missed him, even if he won't admit it."

"Mmm." Maia sighed against Susan's stroking down her back. "Guys have a harder time of admitting things like that I think." She said, her eyes still closed. "But he'd be a fool if he didn't miss you as much as you missed him." Maia said, her fingers slipping up to Susan's hair, twisting a curl around her thumb and forefinger.

Ivanova had to smother a yawn. "Mmm, I'm too comfortable," she accused Maia as if this were her fault and trying to get her mind off the foolishness of certain things with Blackadder.

"So am I. Can we stay like this a while longer?" She said as she moved a little to snuggle more completely onto Ivanova's lap while her head snuggled into her neck.

"Until the mosquitos drive us in," Ivanova promised, her arms pulling her closer and anchoring her firmly on her lap. "I'm so glad I'm back," she murmured into Maia's hair.
