Cthulhu Campfire, Thursday Evening

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Ow." Dawn was stretched out on the grass, holding ice bags to places where Vi had made contact. She should have known better than to spar with a slayer, but it seemed almost normal, and she'd gotten carried away, and "Ow."

Maybe if she was lucky, the ibuprofen fairy would drop by.

Molly wandered over and sat down next to Dawn. "Sore from class today?" she asked with sympathy.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Ow," she whined eloquently, "You'll be relieved to know that I'm still not a slayer. How're you?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shrugged. "No damage from class, if that's what you mean."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You okay otherwise?" She asked, cocking her head.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Did you hear about what happened Tuesday night?" Molly asked.

Naminé waved slightly at the other girl. "Is your cabin still glittery?"

Dean wandered through the clearing towards his cabin, but stopped when he spotted Dawn. "What happened to you?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Fighting class," she groaned, "I suck. Also, I sparred with Vi. How're you?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay," Dean said, still obviously concerned about Dawn. "You want some painkillers? Sammy should have some in his stuff, or if he doesn't I can get some out of my stash..."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Her eyes popped open. "I'd propose, or offer sexual favors, but I don't think that would--um, yeah, that would be great, thank you."

Dean grinned. "I'll graciously pass on any such offers to my brother in proxy. Be right back."

He darted inside Cthulhu cabin, going to his brother's alcove and digging through his bag until he found where he kept his first aid kit. He grabbed the bottle of advil he'd been certain Sammy would have, and headed back out. "Here," he said, holding it out along with the bottle of water he had with him and had all along.

Willow gave a wave as she passed by. "Hey Dawnie."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Willow, hi!" Dawn waved, smiling and not wanting to seem like much of a crybaby in front of any Willow. "What's up?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Not much," Willow said. "I had a workshop today, that was of the happy. You?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I sparred with a slayer. Um, don't do that. Still a bad idea."

Sam frowned when he spotted Dawn all stretched out, and went to sit down besides her, looking her over. "Are you okay? What happened? Tell me you didn't try to go into the woods."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You knew about the woods, too?" She demanded, sitting up on her elbows, "And you didn't say anything, like, 'Hi, creepy guy, attacking people, maybe you should be careful?'"

"And no," Dawn answered, pouting, "I just fought with Vi in fighting class and got my butt handed to me."

[likethegun]

"I thought you knew," Sam replied. "Consider yourself warned. Creepy guy, be careful, no going into the woods without me."

He lifted one of the ice bags carefully, checking her for bruises. "You got into a fight?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

She bent her knee at him, showing him the purple bruises, "Fighting class. We had a rumble thing, and I, uh, kinda fought...Vi."

Naminé looked up sharply. "The woods?"

She hoped she wasn't interrupting. But if there were men in black cloaks in the woods ...

[likethegun]

Sam turned and gave Namine what he hoped was a reassuring smile. "It's nothing," he said. "It's just that there might be someone in the woods who's trying to hurt students. We don't know yet."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé approached hesitantly, then smiled and waved slightly at Dawn.

"Are you all right?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Just fought someone I shouldn't have," Dawn admitted, "How are you? Still settling in okay?"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry," Naminé said, shaking her head slightly. "Why were you fighting? Are you hurt?"

"I'm ... better," she realized, a little surprised herself at that. "I'm making friends and I was thoroughly lectured during one of my workshops on how I need to stop thinking certain ways. So I'm trying to."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"For my class on being a better fighter," Dawn said, shifting on the grass, "guess why I'm taking it. I need the help."

"Good! And who lectured you? Because I can totally...well, I can pout at him or her a lot."
