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.

Warren really didn't have much of a reason to be out and about this early in the day. He didn't have any classes today, and he could very well be sleeping in at this very moment, were it not for the combination of restlessness that things said to him earlier in the week brought, and the fact that he felt claustrophobic as all heck, crammed into a little alcove like that.

"Morning," he greeted, nodding at the boy who was already there before pulling up a seat. "Expecting another hot one, huh?"

At the rate the day was going, muggy and hot as it was, Warren was half tempted to pull his own shirt off as well.

"You have food," Didi observed as she approached the campfire.

It wasn't quite asking nicely, but it did come with puppydog eyes....

"If you promise to take me with you, I'll even fund the expedition," Warren replied, smiling faintly. "The great outdoors would be so much better if they came with air conditioning."

Warren didn't really get out much, growing up. It probably showed.

"For a trip to a cooler climate, I'm certain I'd be able to scrape up the cash somehow."

Warren gave a dismissive shrug. He'd be able to find enough spare change for something like this between his couch cushions, if he had a couch.

"You can't tell me it wouldn't be worth it, when it's this hot already, and the day's barely started."

"Are you prone to random transformations into aquatic animals often?" Warren laughed a bit, shaking his head. "I might be right behind you there, too. I'm not much of a swimmer, but I can totally see the draw of the beach on a day like today."

Even if it would leave him looking like a big, soggy gull. It would be distracting, at least. And cool.

Didi would play along. "Good food that you're going to share?" she asked hopefully. "Or do you need it all? I wouldn't want to stunt your growth by taking food out of your mouth."

"Perhaps," Rosalind drawled, with a quirk of her lips. "You'd be best living in the ocean today if you're shirtless already."

That was hello. On some planet.

"I can do a lot of things," Warren mused. "Breathing underwater is not one of them, so far as I'm aware. I guess if the sea animals were growing legs and trying to come up into the sunshine to get out of the cold, it would be a bigger issue."

And also? Weird.
living_endless: ([neg] you knew that)

Didi rolled her eyes. "Careful," she warned. "Get much taller and you won't fit in the cabins."

"And once again, evolution takes a back seat to hot summer days. It's probably for the best. They'd be trying to turn into dinosaurs or something, next." Warren gave his shoulders a shrug, reaching for a stick to idly turn over in his hands. "If there's one thing Fandom has taught me, it's that I'm no good with dinosaurs."

"Nice language," Didi said, frowning hard and ignoring the bag. "Y'know, there are a couple terms for Native Americans, too. I'm pretty sure you don't like them."

"You're like a broken record," she said, glancing around and choosing to remain standing for once. "Did you know that?"

"It was during that fog," Warren replied. "I never did face down a dinosaur myself, but when that huge thing came stomping over the island..." He shrugged. "I spent most of that inside, wincing whenever it screeched."

And so he felt like a complete chickenshit.

"It was a little more over my head than those vicious gremlins that invaded. Those gave me a few bites, but nothing that I didn't heal from."
