[At the treehouse, there be a teenage boy and girl, unpacking things. Clothes go in the tall dresser, books on the shelf, blanket on the beanbag...]

Layla, where did you get this skirt?

[Climbing up the ladder and poking her head in]

You decent, Sparky? Thought we could head down to the...

[taking in the scene now, yes]

...Mess Hall?

[ahotpeace]

[....i'm holding layla's panties, aren't i?]

Hey Meg. Sure, I could eat.

[hades_mignon]

[OR SOMETHING EQUALLY INCRIMINATING]

...Uh.

[HI THERE I'M LOOKING FOR WORDS. IT'S NOT GOING SO WELL. KEYWORDS, ALL OVER THE PLACE]

[ahotpeace]

[...looks down at his hand and ack. tosses them.]

Sorry. Layla just doesn't know anyone in her cabin anymore -- Will left.

[hades_mignon]

Oh, right -- I figured, uh. Something. Happened?

[Wow, I am usually so much more articulate than this.]

[ahotpeace]

...................?

[OH] Nothing like that.

[hades_mignon]

[ocrap]

RIGHT, no. No, I didn't mean, uh... that. I thought... like, maybe Marcy ate her cabin or something.

I didn't think.... that.

[ahotpeace]

...

Oh. Uh. [this is awkward]

[hades_mignon]

[Trying for a little of her old savoir faire]

Believe it or not, Sparky, I've got a slightly higher opinion of you than that.

[ahotpeace]

Men are dogs. But yeah, I wouldn't.

[hades_mignon]

...

Y'know, I really didn't think you had.

[ahotpeace]

.....good.

Let's take a walk?

[hades_mignon]

Walks are good. I'm a fan of walks -- fresh air, exercise, the whole "great outdoors" ball of wax.

[m-might be making a beeline for the door to escape the AWKWARD]

[ahotpeace]

[down the ladder we go!]

...do you mind it? I didn't think that far, sorry.

[hades_mignon]

Hey, you're buddies, right? You're from the same world, her squeeze got drop-kicked back to where you all came from -- it makes sense you'd help a friend out.

[ahotpeace]

...Meg. Seriously.
