Main Camp Fire [Early Wednesday evening]

[make-the-shot.livejournal.com]

Proto was feeling a bit bored. His solution to this problem was simple: sit somewhere public with a deck of cards. He was shuffling them idly between his hands. He wasn't some sort of card trick master or anything, but he seemed to know what he was doing.

Hopefully someone would join him. He couldn't be the only one who enjoyed a friendly game every so often, after all.

Right?

"THERE you are!!!"

Kurt scurried over to Proto and sat down nearby. "You know, just because we are not roomies at the current moment is NO excuse for you to be avoiding me!!!"

Despite himself, Proto smiled at Kurt's enthusiastic scolding. "I haven't been avoiding you," he answered in amusement. Well, no more than he'd been avoiding anyone else.

"I hope you don't think I'VE been avoiding YOU?" Kurt asked. "I'm hurt!" He swooned dramatically, to show how hurt he was.

"So... how are you finding this strange Earth of ours?"

"Still strange," Proto admitted, shuffling the cards absently. "And still too peaceful."

"And this is a BAD thing?" Kurt asked. "Isn't the ability to have peace the reason people FIGHT wars?"

"Freedom," Proto corrected. "Or, at least, that's what I fight for." Though peace... sounded nice.

"But the peace here isn't something I've won. And it's..." he waved vaguely. "Well, there's still a war on, you know?" It felt like cheating.

Kurt nodded. "I... guess so. But... when you go back, you'll have a better idea of what you're fighting for, ja?"

Proto thought about that. "I don't know," he eventually decided. "Maybe."
