Curupira Campfire, Tuesday Morning

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack knelt by the campfire, trying to light it. Since he wasn't looking upwards, he didn't notice the snowflake landing on him. All he noticed that he was feeling good. After running his hand through his hair, he sat back from the fire and relaxed.

After all, he had to be easy to find for all the ladies in search of a little Zack.

Pam was bored, and thus a-wandering.

She waved as she found her way to the Curupira campfire. "Hey."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack sat up and grinned suavely at Pam. "Hey there."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"What's up?" Pam asked, sitting down. "I'm booooored."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"And I'm Zack." He winked. "Nice to meet you Bored."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam blinked at him. "Um, no. My name's Pam. Not 'bored.' But cute joke."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack ignored the blinking, clearly she was just overwhelmed by his presence. "Pam, a lovely name for a lovely lady."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"...thanks," Pam said, blinking more. "Um, it's short for Pamela."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Like the Pamela dudgeonii butterfly, and just as beautiful."

You can make the geek think he's suave, but you can't make him stop being a geek.

"Um." Pam was back to staring. "I didn't know there was a butterfly with my name. But...thanks."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"No thanks are necessary," Zack said. "It's always a pleasure to compliment as charming a lady as yourself."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Um. I...I don't mean to be rude?" Pam said, trying not to flail. "But, like, that's really nice of you and all? But I'm...kind of seeing someone."

Which was a lie, but nicer than, "I'm not interested."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"He's perfectly welcome to join in."

Someone would be trying to kill himself tomorrow, oh yes.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam stared.

"We're not really into that."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure?" Zack asked. "Because it's only scientific to try something before rejecting it."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"I'm really sure," Pam said. "I'm...not a scientist."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"You should try it sometime," Zack said. "Science is sexy."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Which must be nice for you," Pam said, nodding. "I...think I'm gonna go."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"You'll be back," Zack said, confident.

"Hi Zack," Katara said, coming out of the cabin with a mug of hot chocolate. "How are you?"

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack grinned. "Much better now you're here, my dear Katara."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

She blinked. "Uhh, thank you. Oh! I never saw you last week. Did you get covered in glitter too?"

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I did," Zack said. "But don't worry I'm open to girlkissy just as much as boykissy."

And the number of moments that make Zack regret a photographic memory went up by one, not that he knew it yet.

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

There was still staring. "What about turtlekissy?" It had to be asked.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"I'm an open-minded man."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"How? They don't have lips!"

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"You can work around things like that if you put your mind to it."
