Lupus Campfire, Monday Afternoon

[raspberryturk]

The afternoon had seemed as good a time as any for Reno to wander out to the campfire after making sure all his crap was still in place in his alcove. Paranoia meant that he was going to be taking extra measures this summer to make certain that his things didn't walk off on him. Not that there was anyone in particular who he had his eye on, really, but when you grow up in a 'take what you can get' atmosphere, sometimes it's tough to get your head around it. He missed having a single room with a lock on the door already.

Which was why, when he finally wandered out of his alcove and to the campfire, it was with an armload of bottles. Tequila, scotch, rum, and Everclear. The important things in life. The stuff he'd be choked over if anyone happened to snatch them. Sharing, he was good by. Sure, he'd share. Light up a fire and hoard his booze, but share, sure.

Ah, first day of classes, a campfire lit, a stash of booze by his side, and not a class for Reno to worry about.

He could live with that.

"Are you two gonna play nice?" Rikku asked, hands on her hips. "Because the rest of us have to live here too, y'know."

"I'll play nice if he does," Ron said wearily as he sat down near the campfire and stared at the flames. "So you know that's probably going out the window in five minutes."

"Him, I can handle," she said, folding her arms. "I'll just threaten or bribe until he pretends he knows how to behave in front of people."

Ron did not need to know the further details. He didn't.

"You'll get no trouble from me," Ron grumped. "I'll stay out of his way if he stays out of mine."

[the_merriest]

"Then I'll see if I can make him behave." She nodded. "No sweat. Why, uh, why do you guys have this big feud-thing going, anyway? Other than ... him being all ... y'know, Reno."

Like she didn't know what he was like, or something.

"Stinson and that Pixie partnered us up on a project," Ron replied glaring at Reno. "And then it was downhill ever since."

"She showed up for my Whatever class once, and I freaked her out with my outfit choice," Rikku nodded. "Good times."

"What's wrong with your outfit?" Ron asked. "She's a lunatic."

[the_merriest]

"Thank you," Rikku said, setting her chin. "That's what I said. Although I picked out something particularly clashing just to tick her off. You should've seen her face."

"If it's anything like the time your boyfriend shrunk me to four inches tall, I'd rather not see that expression again," Ron said taking another swig of rum.

[the_merriest]

"He shrunk you?" She frowned. "Okay, seriously not cool, right there."

"And then that crazy Pixie was all over me," Ron said looking uncomfortable. "I thought she was going to eat me alive... or something."

Rikku tried to pretend her sudden gigglefit was a bad case of coughing.

"Scuse me," she said, coughing again once or twice. "Something in my throat."

Ron sulked. "It wasn't that funny. She's a terror!"

[the_merriest]

"Totally," Rikku nodded. "Horrifying. Just had to cough."

Ron sulked even more. "Sure you did," he said gloomily.
