Andromeda campfire, Monday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina hadn't really had the concept of summer that most people had. There hadn't ever been a break from school for her, and half the time she'd be on a different planet that wouldn't even have proper summer weather. But not having classes till later in the week certainly helped with the summer feel, so that was why Jaina was starting a campfire, and wondering if she should have gotten marshmallows or something first. Oops.


[Open! It's my day off, I am enjoying it, dammit.]

"That's twice I've heard that today," she recalled. "Who's your roommate?

"Her name's Giselle. Red hair, giant poofy dress. You'll know her when you see her," Lois said. Giselle stood out. A lot. "She's a sweet girl but weird. Or maybe I'm the weird one. I don't know, I don't really have too much experience living with girls."

Jaina could relate. "Family of boys?" she guessed.

"Close. My dad's a General. I grew up with the guys in the military next door. So it's like having a really, really big family of armed men," Lois said.

Jaina had to smile. "My dad used to be one of those," she said. "I didn't have military guys next door, though. I just knew all the admirals."

"Oh the admirals are always good. You bat your eyes at them and look adorable and you can get whatever you want," Lois said. At least that had been her experience. "Always nice to meet a fellow army brat."

"Not exactly army," Jaina said. "And I've never done the eye-batting." Also, the admirals she knew were along the lines of Ackbar and Kre'fey and oh ew shutting down the brain now.

"Your dad got to boss people with guns around, you're an army brat. Unless he was in the mafia. Then you'd be a mafia princess," Lois looked Jaina over for a second. "Your dad isn't in the mafia, is he?"

Jaina paused. "He did some supply runs for something like that way back when, but I don't think that counts," she said thoughtfully.

"Totally doesn't," Lois said. Not that she wouldn't have had too much of a problem if her dad had been involved with the mafia. Wasn't her problem.
