Abominable Snowman Campfire [evening]

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Electricity might be a little over her head, sure. But if there was one thing Aravis knew how to do and do well, it was build a campfire.

So after fairly minimal effort, she'd put together a rather nice fire in front of her cabin, and brought a small leather-bound book outside with her with the intention of starting a letter home. She could write it, even if she wasn't sure how to send it.

[open like a giant open thing!]

Gavin wasn't really used to having so much downtime. To fill it, he'd taken to walking, scouting, exploring. Even that wasn't as frantic a pace he was used to.

So, he was coming back and passing by and waving. "Hey!"

Aravis looked up with a small smile, and raised her hand in a greeting. "Hello!"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Gavin said again because he was kind of a dork. Had to be a Tatooine thing. "What cabin is this?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Abominable Snowman," Aravis said, making a face. "Do you know what sort of creature that is? Because I'm not sure."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"No," he said, shaking his head. "But I don't know what my cabin's name means either. Or any of the cabin names. Maybe it's in a book somewhere?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that's possible," Aravis said. The thought hadn't occurred to her. Not so much with the research, this one. "Are you new as well?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Yep," he said. "This is my...third day. You too?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "My name is Aravis," she said, inclining her head out of respect.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Gavin," he said and pointed to himself. Because...he could've been naming someone else. "Good to meet you."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"From where do you hail, Gavin?" she asked, smoothing her skirt.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Tatooine," he said, looking for recognition. "Know it?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Unfortunately no," she said regretfully. "I don't suppose you know Archenland, do you?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," he said with a little shrug. "Where's Archenland?"

Naminé chose a clear spot before the fire, the ever-present sketchbook on her lap. "This is a lovely idea," she said to Aravis. "Thank you."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Through the woods," she said honestly.

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Naminé said with a smile back at him. "Are you Marco?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"You're quite welcome," Aravis said, pleased. She eyed the sketchbook. "Are you an artist?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, no," he said. "I'm Gavin from another cabin. Uh, from another cabin isn't my last name."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"So, not far?" he asked. "A quick walk and your home?"

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"A few hours on foot," she said, "but yes. Where is Tatooine?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Very far away," he said. "A planet in the stars."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis stared at him. "You come from the stars?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Yep." He finally moved to take a seat, resting his arms on his knees. "Never been to space?"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Yes and no," Naminé said with an amused smile. "I like to draw, I'm just not very good at it. Nothing turns out the way I see it, in my mind. But somehow sketching things out lets you understand it all. The way things interconnect, I mean."

She laughed, lightly. "And crayons may smudge a lot, but I rather like the smell."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

She smiled. "Hello, then. I'm Naminé, and that's all right, I haven't a last name. I thought you might be Marco, because I haven't seen him yet. Which cabin are you in, Gavin?"
