Main Campfire [Monday evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie loved summer. And while it wasn't really summer yet, it was close enough.

The one thing that she didn't really love about summer was the cabins. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy being around her classmates in close quarters. It was that there were certain disadvantages to her telepathy, and those were amplified in close proximity. There were certain members of her cabin in particular who were -- ahem, very loud broadcasters, so it was little wonder that only the second night of being in the cabins found Sookie outside at the main campfire, having taken some preventative ibuprofen.

Granted, there was some niceness to being outside, too -- she loved being outdoors, and even if it was a bit brisk, that only meant that the fire wasn't oppressive. So she got a bunch of hot dogs and marshmallows and IDK other things you can roast on a stick, mod away and set up at the main campfire, hoping to draw in some company that she could at least block out more effectively out here.

Ino laughed.

"I'm somehow not surprised," she said comfortably, grinning at the girl. "And how do you know you don't? You could and just be unaware 'cause you sleep through it."

"If I snored half as loudly as Jacob did, one of my siblings would have been teasing me about it long since," Rilla declared.

[intraspective]

"So serious," Ino teased. "I'm just kidding 'round. I'm sure you're perfectly silent as you sleep."

Rilla blushed. "I apologize. I'm not used to teasing here."

[intraspective]

Awww.

"Don't worry 'bout it," she said dismissively. "I've had far worse lobbed back at me."

No, really.

"How're you settling in?"

"It's very different from what I'm used to," she confided. "They made a boy live in my room!"

[intraspective]

Don't laugh, Ino.

"You can request transfers," she noted, "if it's really that awful. Bit of a hassle, but..."

"We put up a curtain that divides the room in two," Rilla said, "though I don't know if that would be enough should any of my relatives visit."

[intraspective]

Er.

"Possibly not," she had to admit. "I know some parents are really fussing 'bout that and they're not even from a place where it's the norm to be concerned."

"I will move should they visit," Rilla decided, "or tell them Squall is a girl."

Because that would work.

[intraspective]

...

Ino, stop snickering. "You're rooming with Squall?" she asked, giggling. "Bet he don't talk much, hm?"

"Not at all," Rilla said. "I could almost forget he's there."
