Jackalope Campfire, Tuesday Evening

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

It had been a long day at the Photo Hut.  During his first ever shift, John had actually managed to read a few pages of his book.  He thought that deserved some relaxation, so he sat poking the campfire with a stick, hoping to see some friendly faces.

"Okay, that just takes it to a whole new plane of weird," John shuddered a little at the time travel issues Ronan had drilled into his brain during their movie day.

"We need a new topic." John thought for a moment. "So how many other people have you set up with the glitter?"

"Uh, just you two?" Carmela says. "How'd that work out, by the way? You kinda left Caritas fast."

"It worked out great, then it worked out horribly, then it was awful, and now it's improving with some potential," he said.

"...Yep, sounds like Ronan," Carmela says with a roll of her eyes.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"He's like that with everyone?" John was a little worried by that thought.

"He's not a people person," Carmela says with a sage nod. "Just don't be afraid to turn him into a..." what was the phrase Nita had used when she'd recounted that tale? "soggy beermat, if the situation warrants it."

"Hmm...I'll keep that in mind." John filed the information for future reference. "Tell me more interesting things about my...Ronan," John hoped she didn't hear his slip.

Carmela had so heard that slip.

"Your Ronan?" she says, leaning over to elbow him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No! Just Ronan," he said emphatically. John does not do the label thing. He just doesn't!

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"Right," Carmela says, clearly not believing him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Right, he's just Ronan. We have a...a...'thing' going on. That's all. It's nothing serious," John explained.

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"So that'd be the thing with some potential then, huh?" Carmela guesses.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Had he said that? John kicked himself. "Well, yeah..."

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"Cool," Carmela grins, flashing him a thumbs up.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John looked at her funny, "I hear both 'cool' and 'is not a people person' and I get a little worried."

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

Carmela rolls her eyes. "Did we not have a talk about how the boy needs to be more social? Having a... thing that certainly doesn't have any labels attached to it... that's definitely going to help him with figuring out how to be more of a people person, don't you think?" She pauses. "Plus you two are kinda cute."

John smirked, "You're right, you're right. How quickly I forget." He paused, "Why don't you tell me something about you, Carmela - classes? hopes? dreams? favorite food?"
