Teddy Roosevelt Firepit [afternoon]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia was out in front of her cabin with her easel and acrylic paints. And a raspberry beret (really. Raspberries on it and everything) on, just in case anyone was missing out on the fact that she was Being An Artist Now, Okay?

She was painting a still life of the camp. It was...pretty good.

"Hey there, War Crimes," Griff called out, spotting his cabinmate at work as he took up a spot near her easel. "You painting? It's not half bad." Even if she did wear literal raspberry berets.

Claudia wrinkled up her nose at him at the nickname. "I totes shouldn't have told you that," she decided. "Hi. You didn't happen to trip over a pair of pink calf-length go-go boots this morning, did you?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

Griff raised an eyebrow at the idea of pink go-go boots. "Oh, with the bit of fur on the edge?" He lied. "Yeah. I tossed 'em out the back door. Sorry if they were yours."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Ack!" Claudia replied. Yes, she really said "ack."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Did you just say 'ack'?" Griff asked. Like a walking cartoon this one.

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

She had to stop and think about it. "...yes," she said finally.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

He shook his head with a laugh, "Relax, I didn't pitch your shoes."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good," Claudia replied, looking relieved. "They were my favorite pair of pink go-go boots. I have another pair back in the dorms, but they don't have as high a heel."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

She had to be kidding. "Of course, different heels for different... purposes." Was there a purpose to heels?

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Like if your date isn't that much taller than you are."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Right, I'd be one to hope for gals with shorter boots," Griff said, being all of 5'7" himself. "Do they all think that way about height?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"The nice ones will," Claudia said.

"And if you get hungry, you could always graze from your hat." Leda said without preamble when she saw Claudia.

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Except they're plastic and it would taste nasty," Claudia replied with a little frown. "Rude much?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Oh sorry. Next time I'll ask permission before complimenting your headgear."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Next time don't start a conversation by telling me to eat my headgear," Claudia replied. "Most people go with 'hi.'"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I'm not most people. And I didn't tell you to eat it, I said it was an option. I figured you already knew it was awesome, I was just suggesting a new reason for it."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"I think wearing it will do for now," Claudia said, still giving Leda an odd look.

And Claudia knew odd.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Maybe it was because Leda hadn't known too many artists that she'd thought they'd have more of a sense of humor. Or, more her kind of sens of humor.

"So what are you working on?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Maybe Leda had never heard of an artistic temperament.

"Still life," Claudia replied, adjusting her beret protectively.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

It was an awesome beret, but Claudia had no need to be protective of it.. Leda would never think of stealing it. She might get another beret of her own and decorate it with glittery stickers of fruit and berries though.

Leda looked at the painting. Wow that's good. she thought. Don't ask what it's of. Don't ask what it's of. "I'm sorry if I offended you earlier. It really is an awesome hat."

Diana, with Samuel in her arms once more, was amused to see her "Big Sister's" hat and walked over. "Hey Claudia."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Diana!" Claudia chirped happily. "Hi, Samuel! Nice day, huh?"

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

"It's sunny." Diana commented and put Samuel down on the ground next to Claudia before glancing at Claudia's work. "Pretty."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Thanks you," she said, beaming. "I wanted to remember what this was like and the light'll be different if we have to come back to the cabins later in the summer."

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

Diana was rather pleasantly surprised to hear something that made artistic sense coming from Claudia. "We'll be coming back?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"I've heard rumors," Claudia replied. "Maybe for the second session?"

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

Diana made a face. "Ugh. I wish we'd at least have the chance to live in our actual rooms."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Oh, we will," Claudia said, "but this is a nice change, even if moving a big chunk of my stuff here was a total pain."

[outofthecage.livejournal.com]

Éowyn couldn't help but take notice of Claudia - she was a difficult person to miss, after all - and she tried to look to see what she was doing without disturbing her. She wasn't very good at being sneaky though, especially when it came to peering over someone's shoulder.

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia smiled over at her. "Hi!"
