Little Dipper Campfire [evening]

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

Okay, so Kaylee was learning her way around the whole campfire thing, now that the rain had let up for a little bit. Tonight, she had equipped herself with marshmallows and sticks, as well as graham crackers and chocolate.

She was, perhaps, a little overly proud of herself for managing a real Earth thing without help from anyone.

Not that she'd really successfully made a s'more yet. She kept burning her marshmallows.

"Already tinkering with things and everything!" Cal pointed out with no small amount of awe, really. "That's incredible development."

There was a slight pause.

"489 years is a long ways up there..."

"I'm from 'nother galaxy, too," she added, nodding. "The future ain't so different, though, I promise."

"I'm not sure if that's good or bad," Cal admitted after a moment of consideration. "Although Jaina did mention glowy swords; I could be okay with glowy swords, but then there's that whole...various possible future things and this place is just...special like that."

"We don't got glowy swords where I'm from," she said thoughtfully. "But we got space travel. Obviously. And real pretty ships."

"Pretty?" Even if he tried, Cal wouldn't have been able to avoid being amused at that choice of adjective.

"Very shiny," she enthused. "Um. Or 'cool' is what y'all say nowadays, I s'pose."

Chuckling a little, Cal shook his head. "Like I'd know what was said nowadays. We did use cool, though. And groovy. Bouge for something gross. I like shiny."

Pause.

"As an adjective, I mean."

Last thing he needed was a statement like that to get back to Fan Butt somehow.
