Sirius Campfire: Sunday Morning

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

After a day spent frolicking in the Preserve with all her new friends, Giselle was almost sad to have woken back up as a girl.  But the sun was shining, and she'd made a lovely fire and even found some yummy breakfast food in the living room of the cabin.

Her friends - the squirrels and chipmunks and even a few teal deer - were still sitting around the campfire, and Giselle was talking animatedly to them, slightly saddened they didn't talk back like they did in Andalasia.

"Well," Cal reasoned as he considered this proposal, "paper is made from trees, and where to squirrels live? See? I think you're on to something, Ella."

"That's because I'm very clever," Ella informed him with a sunny smile.

"See? I didn't know that," Cal responded with a hopeless lift of his hands, a gesture of his futility. "Now I do."

"That's why I tell people these things," Ella grinned.

"Which...." Cal was going to comment that this was clever of Ella, thus only supporting her claim, but then he thought better about it, "...isn't very clever," he finished. "You tell everyone, and then they'll keep coming to you for your cleverness, and then you're swamped with people far less clever than you."

"And that would be horribly boring," Ella commented. "Perhaps I ought to keep my clever nature a secret, Cal. I can pretend to be as dim as my stepsister Olive to everyone else."

"Olive?"

Cal felt that it needed commenting. "You have another sister named Kalamata?"

He waved his hand, dismissing the remark. "And I'll try to keep your secret safe."

"Hattie, actually. But I ought to start calling her Kalamata. She'd never get the joke."

Cal grinned a little. "Sometimes," he said, "those are the best ones."
