Lupus Campfire, Thursday Night

[ella_obeys]

The rain was threatening, again, and the day was cool enough that Ella was wearing a cloak over her blouse and skirt. But she'd spent too much time reading in her alcove lately, and wanted to spend more time outdoors before they left the cabins entirely. She neatly built a small campfire, half-wishing she'd bought some marshmallows to roast over it

With so few days of campfire hopping left, Turtle was definitely sure to not let something like questionable weather stop her. She found herself bouncing over to Lupus, and bouncing a bit more when she saw who was there already.

"Ella, hi! We get to start being actual roommates soon!"

Which, really, better not turn out to be a bad thing, but Turtle tried to be an optimist about these things.

Ella took a moment to stop woolgathering, and bounced slightly back at Turtle. She was also trying to be an optimist about the room-sharing situation. "I know! And I've even learned how to work the electricity thingy now."

"The cabin stay went quickly."

[stocksgrrl]

"They usually do," Turtle admitted with a small, wistful sigh; she unceremoniously plopped down into a seat and took a slight glance around.

"Where's the marshmallows?" she noted. She knew something was off.

[ella_obeys]

"So this isn't your first summer here?" Ella inquired.

And then gave Turtle a sad look. "I couldn't find them in my cabin."

Sokka plopped down. "Ella! Hi! Got any s'mores?"

[ella_obeys]

"Turtle asked the same thing," Ella said. "I didn't see the marshmallows in the kitchen."

"And hi, Sokka."

[sarcasm_guy]

"Now, see, that's a shame. What good is a fire without marshmallows, huh? Do we at least have bits of meat to put on a stick?"

[ella_obeys]

"I don't think so," Ella said, not disturbed at all. How would you feed yourself around a fire if not with meat on a stick? Then she turned to talk to Turtle, and, after a run to the cabin, returned to Sokka. "We found some marshmallows! The scarcity was a false alarm."

"G-Good e-evening," Hinata greeted as she stepped over to the fire. "D-Do you mind s-some company?"

[ella_obeys]

"Not at all!" Ella said, holding out the newly-recovered bag of marshmallows. "Hinata, wasn't it? How are you?"

[shyest_eyes]

She smiled. "Ella-san," Hinata nodded, "y-yes, I'm Hinata. I h-have been well, if s-slightly at a l-loss for how to o-occupy my t-time. And y-you? Have you b-been well?"

[ella_obeys]

"I have," Ella said. "I'm not quite sure where my time goes, myself. I read and I go on walks, and somehow the days disappear."

"Oooooh, campfire!" Rikku bounced over to it. "Oh, man, I love the dorms and all? But I'm gonna miss this. Just ... starting a fire and having all kinds of people drop by."

[shyest_eyes]

"G-Good evening," Hinata said, offering a somewhat nervous smile at the other girl. "A-And, yes the f-fire's a-are nice."

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku waved at the girl she didn't recognize. "I'm Rikku. You're not in this cabin, right? 'Cause if I just missed you and never said hi, that's kinda rude."

[shyest_eyes]

She flushed slightly as she shook her head. "I'm in D-Draco," Hinata offered, "so n-no rudeness o-occured. It is n-nice to meet y-you Rikku-san. I'm Hinata."

"Mind some company?" Cimorene asked, coming over to the campfire.

[ella_obeys]

"Not in the least," Ella said, smiling up at Cimorene. "I even found marshmallows, if you need those."

"How have you been?"

[makescherries]

Cimorene grabbed a few marshmallows. "I've been well. Enjoying the new country that Fandom threw us into. You?"

[ella_obeys]

"About the same, though I've not made it into France yet," Ella said. "I'm not sure what it was, but for some reason this seemed like a good week to stay inside."
