Leery's River Campfire [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had decided to take advantage of the warm weather while they still had it, and had procured some marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, as well as some hot dogs and other assorted things that could be roasted over a fire.

She didn't have a whole lot of campfire-y experience, in general, but these were staples of her childhood and seemed like a good idea. Who didn't like chocolate, anyway?

...probably people who were allergic. And vampires, since they didn't eat people food. But still! Most people liked chocolate, anyways!

So Sookie perched herself beside the campfire with plenty of food for others should anyone choose to join her in roasting things over said fire. Her marshmallow was starting to look all nice and lightly tanned.

[open like a campfire is!]

Jack wandered over and went to steal a marshmallow, hand posed over the bag to ask permission. "Hi, Sookie," he grinned. "I don't see you nearly enough. How are you?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I'm good 'nough, Jack!" she said cheerfully, and waved a hand over the bag in question. "Please, help yourself. It's what they're here for, after all. How have you been?"

[bitten_notshy]

"Good," Jack answered brightly. He settled on a rock and started working a marshmallow onto a stick. "I'll be a little better when we're back in the dorms." Nope, still not a fan of the cabins, here. But he was dealing.

"Your, uh, the things you gave me are really helping my friend."

"Oh, I'm so glad to hear that," she said, blushing lightly. "You let me know if he needs a different...type, or anything like that, okay?" She turned her marshmallow, considering whether to ask, but decided to anyway. "You don't like the cabins?"

"Good evening," Zayne said, walking over to the campfire. "Is the food being shared or are you just taunting passersby with it?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"In general, I was gonna share, but I might just taunt you with it," Sookie said, and waved her marshmallow at him.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"You're such a mean person," Zayne said, grinning as he took a seat. "But taunt away. I'll live."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie giggled, and tossed the bag over. "You might live, but a life without marshmallows is a life not worth living, I think."

[bitten_notshy]

Jack waved a few fingers. "H'llo, Zayne. Have one of Sookie's marshmallows."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, Jack, but I shouldn't have too many," Zayne said. "More of these means more time in the gym."

[bitten_notshy]

"Ah. Of course. I keep hoping they'll suddenly fuel a growth spurt for me," Jack smirked.

... look, if he couldn't make fun of his height, who could?

"Haven't seen you in a while," jaina noted. Okay, maybe it was just nice to see a Jedi not at all involved in all the drama.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"It has been a while, hasn't it?" Zayne asked. "Sorry, I've been spending too much time on my training, I think." Not with much to show for it or anything. "How are you doing?"

[solo_sword]

Jaina shrugged. "All right. How's the training going?" Of course she'd focus on that part.

Even after an entire summer term at the school, with all the food she could eat, Emma still couldn't quite repress the urge to eat what she could find.

"I hope that's for sharing," she announced, tilting her head to regard the people around the campfire. "I rather find myself with a craving for chocolate."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"If it weren't, my figure'd be in a lot of trouble," Sookie remarked with a small smile. "Help yourself!"

[icecoldfrost]

"Really, darling, you'd need more than a few to be in trouble," Emma quipped as she took a seat. "The way they make us run up to the school for classes, you'd have to eat two bags worth before the calorie burn couldn't hold it off."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had to grin at that. "That's a fair point. Plus I'm not really one to count calories, so that's a stretch even there. I'm not sure we've met -- I'm Sookie."

[bitten_notshy]

Jack ... would never exactly object to seeing Emma, no, so she got his best grin. "Come. Have a marshmallow to go with that chocolate."

[icecoldfrost]

"How kind. Do I get a stick to put it on too, or do I have to risk my fingers?" she teased. "I don't want to end up well-done, just for a s'more."

[solo_sword]

Oh, look, someone she didn't know- did she? Classes had been like two weeks ago for her- and Jaina was still lifting a hand in greeting. "Chocolate should never not be shared. There'd be riots."

[icecoldfrost]

"Rioting in the streets, and possibly pitchforks and chasing people out of town," Emma agreed cheerfully. "I'm rather surprised that chocolate hasn't replaced monetary currency on this island yet. At the very least, it's more interdimensionally flexible."

It was later in the evening when Jaina actually felt the need to leave the dorms, and when she saw familiar faces at the campfire, she decided it couldn't hurt to stop and say hi.

"Hey," she said, finding a seat.

Or hey. That worked too.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Hi! Want a marshmallow?" Sookie offered, holding out the bag. "You can even set it on fire if you wanna."

[solo_sword]

"I like my sugar not flaming," Jaina said with a little smile, but reached out for one. She needed to remember to eat like a normal person. This might have her up all night. "Thanks. How've you been?"

Social was easier. She liked this better.
