Sphinx Campfire; Sunday Night.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

It was late, she had both work and a workshop tomorrow (Deadpool's, no less), but Setsuna really couldn't sleep, nor did she feel like staying inside the cabin. It was almost the sort of night for a flight, but she wasn't exactly feeling up to that, either. She easily started a fire going, and took a seat, drawing up a leg to rest her chin on her knee, watching the way the flames danced around and trying not to let them remind her of places of employment turning to ash.

"How do you mean?" Setsuna's head tilted while her mind hoped she wouldn't regret asking.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"You know the Mountie's hat?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

It took Setsuna a moment to recall, but then she nodded. "Yes. What about it?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude beamed broadly. "I stole it. Off his head."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Another snorted laugh. "Any particular reason?" Although Setsuna would have to admit, she was very impressed by the photoshop job ninja-ing.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"John Crichton told me to. Kinda."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"There seems to sure be a lot of 'kinda's involved in this whole thing, Jude," Setsuna observed with a small smirk.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"I am merely interpreting my orders," Jude said loftily.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"I see, I see," Setsuna chuckled a little. "Well, congratulations on a successful mission."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, bra." Jude grinned, bouncing. "I stole a Mountie's hat. That's awesome."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Did you get in trouble at all for it?" Setsuna asked.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"I got away." He made a zoomy motion with his hand.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna smiled softly. "I should have figured as much. Good job."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude bounced. "And it kinda rocks 'cause Rikku's totally into pranking and stuff."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Hey, there was that one time when we all TP'd the school..."

No, she was not getting defensive, thank you very much. Just reminding Jude that she could be dragged in kicking and screaming convinced to be into pranking and stuff, too.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that was fun," Jude said nostalgically.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"No hats out of it, though," Setsuna was willing to admit.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Nah. But it was still pretty sweet." Jude smiled at her. "I miss hangin' out with you, bra."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"I miss it, too," Setsuna lightly smiled back. "Been so busy with so much, but, I mean, hey. Summer's here again. Back to the start and all that so maybe we can get back into the flow of it a little. ...A..Assuming Rikku won't mind, that is..."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Why would she mind?" Jude said, lifting one shoulder a bit. "You're not, like, gonna make a move on me or anything." Teasing.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Which Setsuna took as slightly not teasing and concluded that, no, she had enough problems to worry about on that arena, thank you. "And I know Rikku's cool and everything, and I don't know much about relationships in general, but I know most girls might find the situation of their boyfriend hanging out with their exgirlfriend...problematic."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"It might be for some, but . . ." Jude shrugged. "We're friends, right? And Rikku trusts me. And . . . I miss you."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

And, having the weekend she had, Setsuna sort of latched onto that last part more than she probably would have let herself normally. She smiled. "You miss me? Really?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Totally," Jude smiled, leaning against her knee.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

And it would have been impossible not to feel better when faced with that. Setsuna smiled back and nudged him a little. "I totally miss you, too, so, yeah, definitely need to start hanging out more."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Suh-weet," Jude grinned. "If we were back in the dorms, I'd totally say movie night. But I didn't bring any of my stuff."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"I have my laptop," Setsuna pointed out. "It's important to keep it with me for business, but it is DVD capable...screen's not a poor size, either."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Awesome! 'Cause I know there's a buncha movies I never made you watch."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna snorted a laugh. "You never made me watch any of them, Jude. I actually enjoyed most of them. But, so I know what I'm getting myself into, what more did you have in mind? There wouldn't happen to be any more of the Dragon Thunder ones, would there? I liked that one..."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"There totally is!" Jude grinned. "And I gotta bunch more like 'em."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Good," Setsuna nodded. "It's a date the-- Errr, a date, in a completely platonic sense of the word, because, well...crazy English and your multiple possible meanings for several words and not at all being a literal language, that is."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude chuckled mellowly. "I gotcha, bra."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

And she blushed a little. "Cool..."
