Locust campfire- Thursday night

[solo_sword]

This was really weird.

Jaina didn't have the anxious, jittery feeling in the cabins that she used to. Some closure and time had done some good there. No, the weird part was that she was still in the cabins again. But it was this or singing insects and she'd already screamed at them twice before the announcement, so she figured she was fighting a losing battle there. It was just very strange going back to something she'd thought was fun at sixteen and then circumstances had sort of ruined the fun part.

Still, she could deal with it, and it wasn't going to stop her from getting a fire going and bringing out the makings for s'mores when she was pretty sure it wasn't going to be raining. When you'd been deprived of chocolate as long as she had, you found reasons to have it.

Millie smiled at him. "Hello, Captain."

"Well if it isn't my favorite book shop owner," Price greeted. "And admittedly the only one I know."

"It does make it easier to rate us if you only know one or two," Millie said with a smile. "And how are you doing? I assume you've been chased out of your house by the bugs as well?"

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't say chased," Price said. "More couldn't resist the opportunity to have a bit of an... outing with a good chunk of the town."

Millie nodded. "I probably could have taken the bugs if I had to, but Proudfoot here," she nodded at the large white cat, "yowled miserably at them and the two together were unbearable."

"I've dealt with worse than the singing bugs, myself," Price said. "But in this instance, well... I don't mind indulging in the comfort of a clean place to sleep."

"It is rather tiny," Millie said hesitantly. "Still... as long as it isn't for too long, it's better than the alternative."

"Never had to make bunk in a cave, then," Price mused. "Let's hope you never do."

"I'd prefer that myself," Millie said with a laugh.

[stayingfrosty.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Price said. "I guess some people prefer their privacy, I imagine. Prefer the hermit life, then?"

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

"I think perhaps there might be some middle ground between living in a cave and being a hermit," Millie said with a grin. "But I'm afriad here I have tended to be a bit of a hermit."

"What happened with you and that young man," Price asked. "Max, isn't that his name?"

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Millie's smile faltered for a brief second, but returned quickly. "Why nothing at all," she said lightly. "I believe he is... involved, I think is the word, with another. We merely had dinner one night."

And shared a very lovely kiss, but clearly not an important one by any means.

"Ah," Price said. "Sorry. Not really up on the town gossip, I imagine."

Millie shrugged. "Not important," she said. "I'm... not very good with such matters in any case, so I'm sure it is all for the best."
