Stickbug Campfire - Early Saturday Morning

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter made a small fire in the Stickbug campfire and started to boil water for tea.  Yes, there was an easier way.  This just tasted better.

He also had cookies and marsmellows.  The breakfast of champions.

After seeing what things were like in her cabin, Willow went to check on some of the other students.

If Peter's cabin happened to be her first stop well, these things happened.

Even if you had to go out of your way.

Peter looked up from his fire and grinned when he saw Willow. He stood up and bowed. "Good morning, Lady!" he said. Or tried to. He cleared his throat and wondered if the tea was ready yet.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow was already way ahead of him on this one. She bypassed trying to say hello by talking and instead went directly for a tight hug and a kiss.

Not that she'd been worried about him or anything. Ahem.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Not aware that there was anything to be worried about, Peter hugged and kissed her back.

"Good morning," he tried again, frowning at the lack of sound.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded when he frowned, recognizing the look. She pointed to her throat and mouthed Me too.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter thought for a second. Then pointed to the tea kettle and nodded.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Okay, possibly not the ideal moment for this but as far as Willow could see Peter was very Britishly suggesting that tea really was a solution for everything.

Thus she had a giggle fit.

A silent one, but she still had it all the same.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter looked askance at the giggle fit because as far as he was concerned the suggestion was perfectly reasonable.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow recovered enough to try to kiss him again, because to her mind he was currently being cuter than puppies.

Not that he wasn't ususally.

Or that she kissed puppies like this.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter was willing to forgive the giggling with kisses. He was probably happier not knowing he was being compared to a puppy in her mind though.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow finally pulled back so she could try to talk to him again.

Not just us she mouthed.

If her hand happened to slip into his while she said that, well these things happened.

Cameron had been out early to go running. When he returned, he noticed Peter at the campfire. "Yo! Stickbug brother!" He blinked as he didn't hear himself talk. Clearing his throat, he tried to repeat the greeting but nothing came out.

"Dude?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter cocked an eyebrow then made a gesture indicating the whole camp.

Everyone? he mouthed.

And in strange situations, hands were held. One must understand that.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter glanced up to see Cam coming up the path. He waved then shrugged then waved again.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow shrugged. She tried to indicate that so far everyone she'd talked to was silent, but that was hard to do with pantomime. Especially when you didn't have a hand free and weren't inclined to take it back anytime soon.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter tugged on her hand to sit down by the fire since he still had a lingering suspicion about the tea. And if it didn't solve the problem? At least there would be tea.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow sat down beside him. She used her free hand to lightly brush against his cheek. You okay? she mouthed.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"What's going on?" Cameron tried one more time and frowned as nothing came out. With a sigh, he sat down at the campfire.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter smiled at her and squeezed her hand. Yes. You? he mouthed.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter held out his palms in the universal 'I have no freakin' idea' gesture. He coughed but there was no sound. No one can talk, he mouthed to Cam. Tea?

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron nodded.

No one? he questioned. This was sort of weird even for Fandom.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter poured Cameron a mug of tea and handed it to him, gesturing to sugar and milk by the fire.

So far he answered. He tried to mime someone reading an evil book then looked at Cam questioningly. Not that that probably translated.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow nodded. She squeezed his hand back and sat closer.

Not that she was feeling protective or anything.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Getting distracted by the miming, Cameron accidently put too much sugar in his tea. He wondered if Peter meant that the gnomes had come back to steal their books and tried to mime back asking what the gnomes were planning to do with them and if it was related to the no voice thing.

Peter reached out to start to pull the kettle off the fire and start the tea brewing.

He sat back and mouthed any ideas why?
