Outside the Dorms [Saturday Afternoon]

[sixstandingby]

The heat didn't much bother Gavin. The fact that the chocolate chips in his cookies kept melting did bother him. The fact that he'd forgotten to bring a napkin or a rag or anything like that out with him and was causing him to have to wipe his hands on his shorts was another annoyance

Inara had gone out for a walk before it got warm, and was pleased to find Gavin on her return. "Hello," she greeted him with a smile as she wandered over.

"Hey," Gavin said, shading his eyes and looking up. "Just coming back from somewhere?"

[ambassadorinara]

"A walk," she sat down near him. "What are you up to?"

[sixstandingby]

"Good walk?" At her question, he shrugged a shoulder. "Thought I'd come outside today, get some sun. Or try to."

[ambassadorinara]

"Very peaceful, actually. I needed to clear my head," she grinned. "Sun is a good idea, I guess. You'll be very warm while you get it."

[sixstandingby]

"I'm used to warm," he answered, looking up at the sun. At least there was only one. "Everything okay?"

[ambassadorinara]

"Just a headache," she shrugged. "Too much punch, and that was with me going to bed early. I missed all the kissing." Inara didn't sound too bothered by that, though.

[sixstandingby]

"Missed all the kissing?" He really had to get out more. "Was there kissing?"

[ambassadorinara]

"A lot of the girls got together with the intent of kissing, but I fell asleep before I saw any of it happen," Inara explained, "I'm assuming it did, though."

[sixstandingby]

"Huh." Add another thing to his giant list of 'reasons this place is weirder than home'. "Anything I can do? For your headache, I mean. Not for kissing other girls or like that or something."

[ambassadorinara]

"It seems to be better now," she told him, crossing her legs at the ankles. "You're the only one I want to be kissing right now, anyway."

[sixstandingby]

That made him grin like an idiot, of course. "Me too. Not kissing me though. You. In place of me. My name. Shut up, Gavin."

[ambassadorinara]

Inara burst out laughing. "I see."

[sixstandingby]

"I'm good with the words," he said and made a face. "Very suave, you know. Like I haven't proven that before."

[ambassadorinara]

"Suave's easy--I like your honesty better. You should know that by now."

[sixstandingby]

"I know," he said and grinned. "So. Wanna break a rule right now?"
