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.

"Oooh, they're very good! And you can put them on sticks and roast them over the fire and they're even better," Katara said gleefully.

"It's sweet," Qui-Gon observed around a mouthful of marshmallow.

"I think there's a lot of sugar in them," she replied.

Qui-Gon turned the bag around and read it. "It does seem to be pretty much the only ingredient," he agreed. "You say they're to be roasted over the fire?"

"Yep! But not right in the fire," she said. "Otherwise they catch on fire and don't taste so good."

Qui-Gon looked thoughtful and took another marshmallow out of the bag and set it on his open palm.

He stared at it and wrapped the Force around it, lifting it and sending it floating closer to the fire with a subtle hand gesture.

Katara watched, wide-eyed. "That's awesome. Like what Anakin does."

Qui-Gon nodded with a smile. "We both use the Force."

"That's really cool," Katara said nodding. "You don't even have to steal a stick from someone else."

"I am stick free," Qui-Gon agreed.

"How heavy of something can you lift?" she asked. "Could you lift the cabin?"

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"As my Master would say, 'Size matters not.'" Qui-Gon smiled wryly. "Or it shouldn't. It's very easy to overthink it though."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"So if you think it's too heavy, it will be?"

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

Qui-Gon nodded. "Essentially, yes."

"That makes sense," Katara said with a nod. "Aang - my friend and I figured out some waterbending moves because we didn't know you weren't supposed to do them."
