Chupacabra Campfire [Late Afternoon]

Being inside the cabin means he can't run away should anyway try to tease him. Being outside, at least, means he can try and run away. Still, it's not like either option is good.

ONE WEEK.

He's been here one week and already he's made a gigantic fool of himself. He didn't even know who Siegfried and Roy were. And he told Luke waaaaaaaay too much. And thought the droid was a tiger.

He pulled a jacket over his head and tried to hide...in plain sight.

[Open! Come and make fun of him all you want or just hang at the campfire!]

"I think we'll have to," he agreed. "Or we won't be able to do anything at all this summer."

"Certainly nothing that requires money," he said thoughtfully, then grinned, possibly slightly more than a tasty iced dessert really warranted. "Ice cream for one. Gavin, do they have ice cream on your world?"

"I don't think so," he said, trying to remember if they had that. "Pretty sure no."

Karal nodded. "Nor on mine, but Parker bought me some yesterday," he went slightest bit of pink around the ears, "and it was delicious. Very sweet," he added. "But truly excellent."

Gavin didn't notice the blush (but he should, since he's becoming quite an expert on them). "What's it look like?"

The look of food was very important.

Probably just as well, as attempting to explain why he was blushing might render Karal speechless. "It's a roundish ball, frozen but still soft, that's scooped out of a tub," he said, frowning, because describing ice cream was surprisingly difficult. "And it was topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, but I think those are optional."

"That sounds...messy," Gavin finally said.

"They give you a spoon," he laughed.

"Oh." He tried to picture ice cream in his head and really couldn't do it. "And it's good?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"It is. So good there is a shop which sells nothing except ice cream," he said. "It's reassuring to know that not all of the strange things that exist in this place are bad. Or make you think you're something other than you are." He covered his mouth with his hand, hiding a smile. "A stick."

Oh hey, Karal got pushed again for that.

It was okay, he didn't mind, and he kinda deserved it. "And that is the last time I will mention it," he promised.
