Sirius Campfire, Thursday morning

[cheminthehead]

The Sirius campfire was lit and burning merrily. Gladys was standing nearby, arms hanging, the glow in her eyes banked, as she waited for something that needed to be done.

Apart from setting up the fire, she hadn't moved since last night.

[ooc: Sirius campfire is serious. Err, open. And it was TOTALLY never in the wrong journal. Honest.]

Noticing that Gladys was standing by the fire again, River approached slowly. At least she hadn't run into Adah today. Quietly she sat down next to the fire and watched the flames, smiling a little.

"They dance."

[cheminthehead]

She moved, swivelling her head to look down at River, and her eyes flared into life. "Dance?"

[moonbrain_tam]

"The flames," River clarified. "Good morning."

[cheminthehead]

"Good Morning," she replied, staring at the fire. "That Is Dancing?"

[moonbrain_tam]

"Yes." She smiled at Gladys. "Moving to their own music. What are you doing?"

[cheminthehead]

"I Am Waiting," she replied, moving closer to the fire to try and hear the music.

[moonbrain_tam]

"For what?" River found golem logic oddly intriguing.

[cheminthehead]

"For Class. I Work And Then I Wait To Work. When The Sun Rose I Built The Fire And Then I Went Back To Waiting."

[moonbrain_tam]

"What do you do when you wait?" River asked. "No hobby?"

[cheminthehead]

"I Wait When I Wait." The glow flickered. "The Last Two Nights I Watched The Stars. I Do Not Have A Hobby."

[moonbrain_tam]

"Sturdying stars can be considered a hobby," River told her. "Although I was thinking more along the lines of something practical. Like knitting." The golem seemed to be a practical sort of... person.

[cheminthehead]

"Knitting?" She seemed to consider that. "A Valuable And Often Overlooked Traditional Skill That Is Practical. I Do Not Know How To Knit."

[moonbrain_tam]

"I can teach you," River offered cheerfully. "Took a class once that included knitting dildo cozies."

[cheminthehead]

"I Would Like To Learn How To Knit Dildo Cozies." It's worth noting here that Gladys had no idea what a dildo was. "I Do Not Know How To Sleep And It Would Be A Better Use Of My Time Than Waiting. Are Dildo Cozies Useful?"

[moonbrain_tam]

"They are used to keep recreational toys at a comfortable temperature," River said, not sure of the golem definition of useful. "Can find knitting needles and yarn. Now?"

[cheminthehead]

"There Is No Time Like The Present To Learn New Things."
