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.

"I watch Dr. Phil sometimes, does that count?" Loki wondered.

"Not unless he talks to you through the screen." How the hell did she retain knowledge of who Dr. Phil was?

"Then, nah, no therapy," Loki said, shrugging. "Whatever's wrong with me isn't gonna be solved. I think I'd freak the fuck out of a therapist."

"Everything you just said is sort of depressing, you know," Jaina noted.

"Why?" Loki wondered, finally tossing the bag of marshmallows back towards her.

"'Whatever's wrong with me isn't going to get solved?'" she quoted back. Not that she couldn't relate, but.

Loki shrugged lazily. "That such a bad thing? I mean, I've lived with myself for a long fucking time. Not getting things solved seems to have worked out fine."

Oh, Jaina, do not take this as an endorsement to do the same. "It doesn't just create more problems?"

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Loki shrugged a shoulder. "What's life without some problems? I'm not gonna change who I am just to solve problems."

"You're the first person I've ever met who's actually said that," she said. Most people probably just thought it.

"Really, I've found that trying to solve my problems just makes shit worse," he said, shrugging. "I'm not meant for a clean and shiny lifestyle. I leave that to others and I do my thing and it's fine."

Jaina sighed. "There might be something wrong when the Angel of Death makes sense to me," she realized.

"Hey, when people actually fucking listen to me, they'll see I'm smarter than most people," he said and laughed.
