Sunday Evening - Curupira Campfire

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

It was their last night in the cabins.  It was also raining.  But Katara refused to let that stop her from trying to roast marshmallows one more time.

So any visitors to the Curupira campfire would find a merrily crackling fire, s'mores makings, and a strangely dry patch of ground around the fire.

Also a waterbender who was concentrating a lot on keeping that area dry.

Rain was still somewhat of a novelty to Aravis, so she had been out playing in it for a short walk when she spotted the burning campfire. She approached, confused, and entered the dry patch.

"...are you doing this?" she asked Katara curiously. "Or is it a function of the fire?"

Katara blinked then grinned. "No...it's me. Fire's not so good at repelling water."

Molly walked out of the cabin and sat down next to Katara with a satisfied sigh. "Waterbending is so much more useful than firebending," she said.

Katara laughed. "This is what I'm saying! Look! There are marshmallows and you can cook them over the fire."

Aravis nodded to the other girl. "Good evening."

"Interesting manipulation of energy," Qui-Gon complimented, joining her by the fire.

Katara smiled at him. "Thanks! I didn't want to spend the rest of our last night in the cabins indoors."

Aravis offered a small smile and inclined her head. "Hello."

Charlie had been out to the beach and back, and stopped by the campfire, giving the area a confused look. "Magic spell?" she wondered. "Hi, Katara."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Hey Charlie," Katara said. "And, no, it's not magic."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis nodded at the other girl. "Evening."

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Qui-Gon said to the newcomer. "Energy manipulation, I believe." He held out the bag he was holding. "Marshmallow?"

Jaina had been going to start her own campfire next door, but it looked like Katara had this one handled. "Nice," she said, wandering over.

"Thanks," Katara said with a smile. "I figured we needed a campfire on our last night out here."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis gave the other girl a small smile and a polite nod. "Good evening."

"Katara's quite adept with water," Qui-Gon said. "I suspect even Master Yoda would be impressed."

Tori waved at the girl she didn't recognize, realizing she must be a new student. "Hi." She was fond of meeting new people.

After getting caught in the rain on the beach, Tori wandered past the campfire and couldn't help but grin when she saw Katara.

"Hey." She smiled and waved, entering the dry spot, wishing she could do that.

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Tori, hi!" Katara said, waving. "Come have marshmallows."

Luke grinned as he saw the people around the campfire. "Some of my favorite people!" he said, sitting down next to Tori.

Charlie waved, her mouth full of marshmellows, and rolled her eyes at herself, then managed, "Hi. Charlie. Me." around the sweets.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori laughed, amused. "Really?"

"That's way cooler than just using a tarp," Bridge says with a grin as he finds a free spot.

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Hi Bridge!" Katara said, grinning back. "Rain on our last night was too sad. Had to do something about it."

After patrol Mel wandered by the campfire looking a little damp. "Neat trick Kat. Got any spare marshmellows?"

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"I have a whole bag of them," Katara said with a smile. "Want some?"

Zack wandered over to the fire and nervously waved to Katara. "Hey."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Hey Zack," Katara said, waving back. "Marshmallow?"
