Main Campfire - Morning before classes

Weather still too hot. Check. Cabin stinking of leeches. Check. Half naked boy. Check. Half naked boy eating. Check.

Hopefully those thunderstorms wouldn't take much longer to reach the island, but for now it was dry and Jake had taken up position at the main campfire. There was a bag from J,GOB resting on the ground between his feet. He was planning on just eating it all by himself, but if you'd ask nicely enough he might be willing to share.

Might.

Perhaps Karla could sense a bit of his inner debate, because she added, "It would be co~old water."

Kaeleer didn't just have warming spells, after all.

He snorted and rolled his eyes, but he tossed the bag with pastries at her. "One," he told her.

What? He'd seen her eat.
glacial_queen: (Grin)

It was fair!

Karla didn't argue, just reached in and grabbed a muffin. She tossed the bag back--using Craft because she would have been really embarrassed had the bag gone flying--and called in a bottle of water to toss to Jacob as well. Except when that bottle left her grasp, a spiderwebbing of frost had already started forming on the inside of the bottle. "One," she repeated, grinning.

Jake caught the bag and then the bottle. He raised an eyebrow at how cool the bottle was in his hand. "Magic, right," he remembered and he opened the bootle. "Pretty cool, can you play for airco?"
glacial_queen: (Huh?)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-07-21 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"Play for airco?" Karla asked, confused. There were so many references she just didn't get, even after a year of living here.

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-07-21 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Air conditioning," he clarified after he'd drunk a little. "You know, the thing that keeps the rooms all cool?"
glacial_queen: (Conversation)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-07-21 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"You mean, the closest thing to paradise the school offers at this time of year?" Karla asked with a smile. "I've never heard it shortened like that before. AC, yes, but never airco." She filed that away for future reference. "It wouldn't be much use out here, there's too much air to cool. I could, if we were in a room or something, but then, there's already, uhh, airco, isn't there?"

"Yeah, but if the power goes out, I'm going to come hang out in your room," Jake decided.
glacial_queen: (Hee)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-07-21 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Only fair," Karla said, laughing. "Considering I plan to spend any future winter power outages camped right next to you, Lord Radiator. You had food and warmth."

"I'm made of the good stuff, yes," he laughed. "I can't guarantee there won't be line."
glacial_queen: (Conversation 8)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-07-21 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"But now I'll have an in," Karla pointed out. "I'll remind you I provide the same service in the summer and thus, guarantee myself a spot!"

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-07-21 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Crafty," he nodded. "Sure sure, I can do that. Sounds fair."
glacial_queen: (You can trust me)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2010-07-21 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Another water-muffin exchange to seal the deal?" Karla asked, all innocence.

There was nothing left of her first muffin but crumbs.

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-07-21 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
He laughed, but he must be in a good mood. "Sure, I could use some more," he agreed, holding out the bag again.
glacial_queen: (Head-tilt Amused)

Karla called in another bottle, passing it over to Jacob before reaching into the bag for a second muffin. "If I really concentrated, I could freeze half of that," she offered. "So it lasts a little longer?"

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-07-21 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure," he nodded. "That'd be cool, thanks. Might even last me through class."
glacial_queen: (Proud)

She leaned over, running a finger along the side of the bottle. Wherever her finger passed, ice crystals bloomed, starting first as frost. As she passed around again, they began growing into true ice, meeting up and connecting and firming up. Karla was no Bobby, to do it in an instant, but eventually three-quarters of the bottle was completely frozen solid. "There," she said, sitting back. "Mother Night, it's hard to keep it steady in this heat."

"Still impressive," he said, picking up the bottle to study it. "Too bad you can't teach me that trick. It'd come in handy."
glacial_queen: (Half-smile)

"I would if I could," Karla said, shrugging a little bit. "My Craft doesn't work that way, unfortunately. But I'm sure we can work on some kind of trade to keep this going throughout the rest of the summer."

Karla was quite amenable to snack from J,GoB, for example!
