Wormhole X-Treme Campfire, Monday evening

[momslilassassin]

Ben, not surprisingly to anyone who knew him, was hungry.

He'd managed to get the fire started without incident and was now cheerfully burning cooking some hot dogs and staring into the flames.

Meeting new people would be fun--that's why he'd put out extra food and had given the bugs some silent encouragement to bite people at a different fire--but Ben was hoping they'd come to him.

He glanced over at the nearby cabins hopefully, then made a face, dropped his completely charred hot dog into the fire, and tried again.

Ben was a terrible cook.

[OOC: So very open.]

"Maybe no one would notice if I moved back to the dorms. I know how to bribe the squirrels. Rum's easy to get."

"It'd be really, really quiet," noted the girl who'd developed a habit of talking so damn much just because she'd gotten sick of quiet.

Jaina pulled her comlink out of her pocket. "You probably don't know how often this goes off."

[weetuskenraider]

"Why do you always win the arguments?" Tahiri asked, teasing. Or trying to, anyway. Because she really didn't have a comeback for that one.

[solo_sword]

"You have met my family, right? It's a learned trait." Oh look, almost humor!

[weetuskenraider]

Almost humor! Except for how Tahiri kind of winced. "Yeah, pretty familiar with that."

[solo_sword]

Noticing the wince, she wasn't exactly sure why she felt compelled to say, "Sorry about that."

[weetuskenraider]

"Not your fault," Tahiri said quickly, and if her voice was a little tense she was annoyed at herself.

[solo_sword]

Jaina looked over at her, wondering, "You okay?"

[weetuskenraider]

She looked like she wanted to say no, but Tahiri just nodded. "I'll be fine."

[solo_sword]

That answer was pretty much standard with the people she knew from home, wasn't it? Jaina nodded back at her, taking her at her word for now. "Okay."

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri smiled for about a fraction of a second and decided to take that opportunity to head back to her cabin to grab a couple of things, so Jaina could talk to Ben.
