Sirius Campfire, Monday morning

[cheminthehead]

Gladys had lit a campfire. She didn't get cold -- even if she did, it was probably too warm to need one -- nor did she eat or drink, so it wasn't really of any use to her

Yesterday had been a strange day for River, but better than expected. She was tired, thoughtful and couldn't sleep, so when she saw the clay person next to the fire she sat down next to her. At least there wasn't much mental noise from a golem.

Gladys swivelled to look at her, hands still in the fire. "Good Morning," she said, because politeness was important.

"Good morning," River said gravely, then added: "You're a new student. I'm River. No longer a student. Graduated recently. Do you like dancing?"

[cheminthehead]

"I Am A New Student. I Am Gladys. If You Are Not A Student Why Are You Still Here?" she asked. "I Have Never Danced." And she was also a bit shaky on the concept of enjoy.

Gavin didn't have a class but he hadn't really paid much attention to those in his cabin last night so he was up and outside early, just to check things.

Apparently, someone was up earlier than him.

Someone big.

Wow.

"Hey," he said cordially, coming to sit near the fire.

[cheminthehead]

Her eyes dimmed and flared. "Hey," she repeated. "Should I Say Hey Instead Of Good Morning?"

[sixstandingby]

"Only if you want to," Gavin said, smiling a little. "Hey's just a greeting I use instead of good morning. But, good morning works too. I'm Gavin. I'm in this cabin too."

[cheminthehead]

"We Are Cabinmates, And So I Will Say Hey, Too. Hey, Gavin." She pulled her hands out of the fire. "I Am Gladys."

Giselle appeared out of the cabin, looking fresh and bright, just as if little birds had dressed her - and they probably had.

"Oh, hello," she said brightly to the stone - thing. "Don't your hands hurt? The fire's hot, you know."

[cheminthehead]

"The Fire Is Hot But It Will Not Hurt Me." She moved another log, and the fire flickered slightly higher. "It Is Important To Make The Best Fire Possible. I Am Learning How To Do That."

[stucklikadope]

"Oh, that is so nice of you," she gushed.

[cheminthehead]

"There Was A Spot For A Fire But It Had No Fire. The Cabin Should Have A Fire If There Is A Place For It," she said. "I Am Gladys."

Jo made her way out of the cabin, yawning. "That's... not what I expected."

[cheminthehead]

Gladys looked at the fire, then at Jo. "What Did You Expect?"

[wannabehunter]

"Something other than a..." Jo made a guess. "Trooogollum? Tending a fire?"

[cheminthehead]

"I Am A Golem And A Student. This Is The Cabin I Am Assigned To. But I Am Tending The Fire." She hesitated. "Is It Proper That There Is A Fire?"

Luke was at loose ends as he delayed his inevitable departure for as long as possible.

Morning walks are good! Especially when he knew most of the people gathered around the campfire.

...just not the tall one. Made of stone. Wow.

"Good morning."

[wannabehunter]

Jo was not laughing at him.

That would be mean.

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke gave her a sheepish smile. "New species?" he murmured.

[wannabehunter]

"Something like that," Jo replied, coming over to kiss his cheek.
