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.

"You'd think," Cal couldn't help commenting as he passed by an active fire, "people would get sick of something like this after a week, but it never gets old, does it?"

He gave an idle glance around at the empty spaces around it, then shrugged slightly at the girl there. "Mind company?"

"More melty marshmallows?" Ned asked, peeking out from inside the cabin.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Not at all," she said cheerfully, waving the guy she didn't know over. "And I'm not sure I'll ever get sick of it. Kinda a luxury for me."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Burny ones, mostly," she said, frowning a little.

"Every time I make it over to a campfire there are s'mores," Dick noted. "Are you sharing?"

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Sure am! Couldn't eat them all myself," Kaylee laughed. "Just most of them. Maybe."

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"You know how you can stop that?" Ned asked, amused.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"How?" she asked eagerly.

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's nice that you're sharing thanks to biological limits," Dick said. "Kaylee, right? We have Winchester's workshop together."

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Cal said as he took a seat, settling his elbows on his knees as he looked into the fire a little with a tilted head. "You've got the burning part down pretty good, there, don't you?"

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Yep," she said cheerily. "And you're Dick? Hi!"

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Pull it out of the fire," Ned deadpanned.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I'm real good at it," she agreed, frowning a little. "Haven't quite got the hang of toastin' 'em right. Want one? Um, not one of the burned ones."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Thank goodness you're here to help me," Kaylee said, rolling her eyes good-naturedly. "But whenever I yank it out before it gets all burny, it's still kinda raw."

Dick nodded while he started putting together a s'more. "How are you adjusting to this place. It's a little different."

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"Hey, roomie who I've barely roomed with," Dick said. "Miss me?"

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Need to perfect it," Ned said, wandering over. "Or maybe you're just doomed to make melty marshmallows."

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

Ned frowned and thought about it.

"Should I be missing you?" he finally asked.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Cal said. "Even one of the burnt ones..." His head tilted sightly again, figure that it had been enough build-up to make his next question seem casual, despite the fact that it had been there since he spotted her by the fire. "You're in my auto mechanics class, right?"

"If you don't, I'll be a little hurt but I'll understand," Dick said. "The pain will go away in time."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I'm workin' on it. Where're you from originally?" she asked.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"That'd be sad," she decided, looking woeful.

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"Gotham City," Dick said. "Big city up north a bit."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Mmm-hmm!" she hummed brightly. "I'm Kaylee, hi! You likin' the class so far?"

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Oooooh. I'm from another galaxy," she told him cheerily.
