Dorm Roof - Friday, late afternoon (after workshops and water balloon fight.)

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is sunning herself on the roof with her new friend. Regaling him, in Parstletoung, with stories about the last time she met one of his kind and whistling tunes to him.

He likes being whistled to.

Tyler hadn't made it to the water balloon fight -- he'd gotten involved in some stuff in his room, and it was late afternoon before he knew it.

Blinking in the late-afternoon heat, he emerged into the sunlight on the roof. "Hi, Pippi."

Pippi raised her hand in greeting. She'd wave, but there's a snake on her arm.

"Hi Tyler. How ya doing?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"I'm not being attacked by a snake, so I guess better than you," Tyler said. "Or is that a student?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Not a student, but not attacking. He just wants to be warm. Don't ya little fella?"

The snake, who was anything but little (his head was almost as big as the palm of her hand), flipped it's tongue out to taste the air in Tyler's direction and then slid up her arm, across the back of her neck and rested his head on the opposite shoulder.

Tyler crouched down and stared fixedly at the snake. "They like sun," he agreed. "Looks like he likes you."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

The snake stared back.

"They do." she said. "He's pretty friendly, he heard me whistling and came up to say 'hello'."

"Hey, reptile," Tyler waved to the snake. "So. Abrupt change of subject?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

The snake made a soft noise.

"He said that he's pleased to meet you." Pippi said. "So what subject would you like to change to abruptly?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

If Pippi wasn't Pippi, Tyler might even have been surprised she could talk to the snake. But as this was Pippi, Tyler just nodded to the snake and went on.

"River. She's doing okay, right? I've been avoiding her, but ... I figured you would know."

He felt like an enormous idiot.

It was a rather beautiful day and after the water balloon fight, Peter climbed up to the roof to soak in more sun. He'd changed clothes but was still noticeably glittery. Especially in his hair.

"Afternoon, Your Highness."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler grinned at Peter. "English. You're sparkly."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter wrinkled his nose. "Willow made glitter waterbombs. The bloody stuff won't come off."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"She wanted her boyfriend to shine?," Tyler asked. "That's sweet. Even though being glittery all weekend might get kind of old."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"It might possibly be a bit old already," Peter replied. "But she apparently wanted everyone to be glittery - she was throwing them at the water balloon fight."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler raised an eyebrow. "Glad I skipped that, then." He looked at the glitter. "Maybe we could dip you in turpentine to dissolve it."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Turpentine?" Peter made a face. "Maybe if I go swimming later, it'll go away." He grinned. "It was fun over all though. What'd you do instead?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"It's a solvent," Tyler explained, about the turpentine. "And I wasn't doing anything exciting. I got interested in a game I was playing on my computer and the day just got away from me. Sorry I missed the battle, though."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I know what it is," Peter replied. "I'm just not thrilled about the idea." He grinned. "It should be hot here for while longer, shouldn't it? We could always arrange another one."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon Sir Peter... You're not in armor but you're shining quite nicely today."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter bowed to Pippi. "Why thank you. It's good to know my sparkling personality is showing through," he joked.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"It's positively blinding."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned. "Willow made glitter-filled water balloons for the water balloon fight."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Ahhhh, sneaky little she-devil ain't she?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"It was certainly unexpected," Peter replied. "Why can I see you doing the same thing. Maybe it's the hair?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Not that Peter would recognise it as such, but Pippi does the Red Head Solidarity hand signal.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." she grinned.
