Crocodile Pit campfire, Sunday night

[fairest-blood.livejournal.com]

Snow had lived in a castle most of her life. Just not an inflatable one. She was worried about puncturing the strange material it was made out of, so she was very careful about not bringing anything sharp inside as she claimed a corner as her own.

Fortunately, she did know how to light a fire. It wasn't cold out, but the light it provided was nice, and she felt more comfortable sitting outside rather than inside, not just because of the weirdness of the bouncy castle, but just because she could be outside.

She idly poked at the small fire with a stick, then leaned back to look up at the stars.

Billy never really got used to the camping thing, but the bouncy castles were just way too weird, so he was going to be sitting out at the campfire until he felt confident enough to squeak in and lay down. "I was really hoping for tents," he said as he plopped down. "Even if it meant sleeping on the ground."

"You're Billy, right?" Snow said. He was in two of her classes, but they'd never spoken. "I'm Snow."

[selfhelphero]

"I am indeed Billy." He'd figured he'd be easy to spot in a castle full of girls. "It's nice to meet you."

"You're in Cultural Appreciation and First Aid with me," Snow said. "It is nice to meet you as well."

"You mean First Aid and Eat Food for Thor class?" Billy said with a laugh. "Those are two of my favorites."

"That class is nothing like I expected," Snow said, laughing as well. "I did not know it would be about food, but some of the things we have had to try are very interesting at least."

"I thought it would mostly be about looking at Thor," Billy said with a snicker. "And maybe learning something along the way."

"He looks like someone I know from back home," Snow said. "I thought he was that person at first. But I can see now they are very different."

And yes, he wasn't that hard to look at. She wasn't blind.

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Billy asked. "That they're different."

"I'm not entirely certain," Snow admitted. "He served someone who wanted to hurt me, but he didn't know their true purpose, I think."

[selfhelphero]

"Oh," Billy said with a frown. "Well, Thor would never hurt anyone. He's a hero where I come from. Are you here to get away from whoever wanted to hurt you?"

"Would you believe magpies led me here?" Snow said. She hadn't seen any except Loki's Ikol since she arrived, but she had to wonder if they were around somewhere. "I was running and they brought me to a . . . I am told it's called a portal? And that brought me here."

"Maybe it won't be too bad if no one moves around too much in their sleep," Anna suggested. "If it helps any, you won't have to worry about me."

[selfhelphero]

Billy snickered softly. "I don't move much either. I'm just wondering what will happen if one person has to get up way earlier than the others."

[dressedinblood]

"Maybe if they move very carefully?" Anna suggested, but she sounded doubtful.

[selfhelphero]

"I think people might end up getting kicked out of their castles if they move around too much," Billy said. "Either that or we're all going to get really close."
