Main Campfire - Wednesday Morning

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

It was too nice a day to not take advantage of before being cooped up at work all afternoon and evening, Claire decided. Which was why she was out at the main campfire early with breakfast sausages and a huge iron skillet she found that would cook eggs over an open fire.

She was in an excellent mood, now that her boyfriend was no longer puppy-shaped. They had handwavily spent the previous evening snuggling and watching movies.

For now her excellent mood translated into making breakfast for anyone who happened to stop by.



[Open campfire! I know I'm not the only one stuck at work and not off on vacation.]

Liir had work, off course, but there are few things that could call to one like the smell of cooking food.

"Morning," he greeted her.

"Morning, Liir," Claire said. "Can I interest you in some breakfast?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I don't suppose a pair of eggs would do me any harm," he offered as he sat at the fire, "at least, when served on a plate. They'd probably hurt if you threw them, er, not that you would."

"Hmm, well now I almost feel the need to," she joked. "Then again, I don't think they would hurt so much as be messy."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"For a terrible joke?" he said before folding his legs. He'd given them quite a stretch this morning, walking Makejoy.

"May I have a sausage as well?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Or maybe I'm just mean," Claire said.

Because someone might believe that. Yeah.

"Of course. Do you want to roast it yourself over the fire?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't mind it," he admitted as he held his hand out for the stick and sausage.

"Though I sincerely doubt you're mean. It's something about offering me food and a friendly greeting. Then again, you could just be crafty."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire handed him the stick and the sausage. "It might all be part of my evil master plan. Maybe I secretly want to take over the island and I'm lulling you all with false security.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He quirked his lips thoughtfully at her before shaking his head.

"If you are, then I suppose I am willing to be lulled and will think no more about it. There is, after all, sausage."

He kept his out of the fire and turned it slowly.

She grinned. "Yeah, I don't give off the secretly evil vibe at all. I suppose it's part and parcel of the whole cheerleader thing."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He shook his head.

"No proper Wickedness to you at all, I'm afraid," he said with a faint smile.

"Probably for the best. What evil are you, then, not plotting?"

"Well, my boyfriend is no longer a puppy, which is nice," Claire said. "I work today, but tomorrow is my day off from everything. What about you?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I... am well enough, I guess. I have work as soon as I finish my meal here and no one I know closely seems to be stuck as an animal at the moment."

He didn't mention the ice cream parlor... agreed time. Yes, he'd just call it that. Not until he knew what it was.

"Hello, Liir," Raven said, waving to her big sib. "How are you this morning?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He moved over to sit a little closer to her.

"Reasonably well enough. Yourself?"

[trigons_child]

"I have survived my second day of work," Raven said, just a little proud of herself. Not dealing with customers had helped immensely, however. "I have never had a job before the school assigned me this one."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

That got a blink.

"The school assigned you a position?"

He'd never heard of that.

[trigons_child]

"This is not normal?" Raven asked. "I assumed it was, for I did not seek one myself. I received a phone call and was told I was to be hired."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir shook his head.

"Not at all, I'm afraid," he said, now just a touch worried.

"But a job gained is a job gained, I suppose... unless you didn't want one?"

He couldn't imagine that himself.

[trigons_child]

"I did wish to find one," Raven said. "Joan told me I should get a job if I wished to have money so she could take me shopping. I had not yet begun to look for one when I was told I was to work at Decadent Delights." She couldn't help but blush, just a little, because of what the store specialized in.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir made assumptions.

"Do you like chocolates then?"

[trigons_child]

Raven nodded. "The taste is enjoyable." She'd sampled some of the chocolates in the shop -- just not the ones shaped like any part of the human body. Those she tried very hard not to look at.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"You might come by the Cafe Fina today, as I'll be doing chocolate hazelnut cookies. I'm a bit brownied-out, if that could be used as a phrase, but those cookies were some of the first I learned to make with chocolate, taught to me by a rather lovely professor."

He still missed Miss Lulu.

"I'm glad you found a job in a place that you enjoy, though."

[trigons_child]

"Those sound delicious," Raven said, making a mental note. "Food on Azarath is rather simple, but I have discovered many interesting treats since arriving here. I think if Decadent Delights were merely a candy store, I would risk eating far too many of the chocolates."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He blinked, again. She's very good at that.

"What else do they sell there?"
