Chupacabra campfire: early Monday morning

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Today was the first day of classes. Karal was quite pleased, because having nothing he needed to do felt rather odd.

Not, however, as odd as waking up to see the Valdemaran history he'd been reading nesting next to the bed. And clucking. And apparently quite determined to set on the balled up piece of paper it had found on the floor.

His inability to quite believe what he was seeing - and hearing - didn't seem to bother it.

Karal went into the common area to fetch a cup of tea and returned to find the book chicken had somehow incorporated his pillowcase into its nest. Which made it easy to scoop it up and carry it outside.

Settling it safely against a rock, he - after some fumbling - kindled a fire and sat down to watch it. "How in Vkandis' name are you making those noises? You're a book!"

"It's not daily, or even weekly. But it happens often enough that it doesn't even phase me anymore," she shrugged. "Well, unless the washing machines feel unappreciated again. That could be a problem."

He didn't even want to ask. "What happened then?"

Isabel snickered, only because it did not happen to her personally. "Clothing started disappearing. While you were wearing it."

He stared. And swallowed.

"People were naked?"

"They were usually kind enough to leave underwear. But if you weren't wearing any to begin with," she sighed. "Yeah, that was problem. Fortunately around here? It was a very pretty problem."

"Well, that's...good?" He lived on a desert planet for most of his life.

"Very, very good," grinned Isabel, internally laughing just a bit at poor sheltered and innocent boys for Tatooine. "And on that note, I'd better get going. Somehow I wound up with three workshops today. I was not thinking when I sighed up. At all."

"Of course," he said and stood up. "It was good to meet you."

"You as well," Isabel smiled. "I'm sure I'll see you around." Still smiling she headed off to pick up the kidlet from school back towards Platypus.
