Cygnus Campfire, Late Thursday Night

An open fire. Alice had started it herself, and was feeding it sticks and branches as it grew into a moderate size. She felt a small thrill of vindication at that; she would not let something as simple as a campfire defeat her. It was controlled. It was safe. She was even considering roasting marshmallows over it.

She was calm, or relatively so, and would welcome company.

(OOC: very open, as campfires go.)

Jamie paused as some of the memories came back to him from that time.

"Let's say we find a happier topic."

"Let's," she agreed quickly. "Here's one perhaps we can't maul too badly. Have you been here long? This island, this school."

"Two years," Jamie said looking relieved. "I'll be a junior in the fall which just feel strange to me. Like I need to become more mature or something."

"I shall be a junior as well, my paperwork said," she nodded. "I'm not familiar with the system, I'm afraid. But I'm sixteen and I've yet to show any serious signs of maturity. Perhaps we can stave it off a while longer."

Jamie grinned "You would have made a good stickbug," he said with a chuckle.

"Would I?" Alice laughed. "I've been somewhat of a grasshopper before, I wonder if that gives me good qualifications. It's dreadful being tiny, you're always in fear of being squashed."

Jamie laughed. "No, two summers ago a bunch of guys and I were in the Stickbug cabin. We were... We were a lot of fun."

"Oh, I see," she said, looking back at the fire and considering it. "Rather different from that, then. I'm a Cygnus this time, I shall have to see what it means to be a swan. And what have you become this summer?"

"Sirius," Jamie said with a grin. "The irony.. it amuses."
