Main Campfire, Tuesday Afternoon

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was ridiculous to be outside in this weather. Yet all the same, Miley bundled up in her new winter coat (the product of a collaborative shopping effort between her and Lilly; it had depended upon the use of Skype on their zPhones as Lilly wandered around the only store in Atlanta to have started the winter collection this early). Armed with the coat and various other winter accessories she had not imagined having to use this early, not to mention her trusty Uggs, Miley brought a cup of her father's famous loco hot cocoa out to the campfire and got started roasting marshmallows.

Freezing or not, she was still camping, and Miley could put aside her body temperature in favor of a return to country living.

"I can pretty much be anywhere," Kate echoed with a faint smile. "This is honestly more like what I'm used to than that," she said, and jerked a thumb over her shoulder towards the dorms.

"It's very... tall." Which, yes, was strange to her.

"Tall," Miley repeated. She cocked her head. "Well, I guess if you're, like, human-sized, and you're coming from a cave..."

She stopped.

"You aren't from a cave, are you?"

"Not from a cave," Kate confirmed. "Georgia." Leaving off the 'post-apocalyptic magic future' part at first introduction seemed a more cheery way to go.

"Oh!" Miley brightened considerably. Another Southerner! "Cool! So you can be in the club! Where in Georgia?"

"Atlanta, lately," Kate answered with a little grin. "But I think of Savannah as home." It was a slightly less objectionable city, in her opinion. "Both a bit different from here."

"I didn't know there was a club for it, thou."

"The Southerners club," Miley clarified. Pointing to herself, she chirped, "Crowley Corners, Tennessee. And Sookie's from Bon Temps. Ooh, and my best friend just moved to Atlanta! Is it nice?"

Way to miss the part where she didn't think of it as home, Miley.

Well, she was sure it used to be nice? But magic and years hadn't been good to it, and it probably wasn't quite the same place as Miley's friend would know.

Still, Kate shrugged, "I know people who love it." Wasn't that diplomatic? "I'm not a big fan of cities," she admitted. "Dirty, too many people, all that." She'd grown up in wildernesses more than cities.
