Elegant Emu Campfire [Monday Evening]

[stupid_toasters]

After his one and only class today, Lee had come back to the cabins and crashed for a little while before getting tired of that and wandering out to the campfire

Toby was having a problem remembering which cabin was his. It had some weird name he couldn't remember, but in his search he spotted Lee and promptly forgot his purpose. "How safe is napping in front of an open flame?" Toby asked as he plopped down to do just that.

"As long as the fire's controlled and you're not actually covered in gasoline, you should be fine," he said, smiling at Toby.

"Huh, did you start it with gasoline?" Toby wondered.

[stupid_toasters]

"No," he laughed. "I started it with some kindling and matches. I don't have any gasoline to use."

"So you're an Elegant Emu, now?" Adah asked, the only thing to announce joining the Eel where he sat, except perhaps the typical uneven drag of her steps. Imagine that, though: interaction in a public sphere. It was a bit easier to do when the terrain between them was mostly on the same level.

"I go by many names," he said, smiling at her. "Elegant and Emu are merely just two."

"And Eel," Adah, of course, had to point out, head nodding slightly, trying not to laugh too hard at Elegant. "I'm noticing an 'E' theme; shall I continue? Enigmatic. Effervescent. Excrement. I would say erudite, but that, clearly, would be me."

[stupid_toasters]

"Hey!" He frowned, having caught one word. "Excrement?"

After an afternoon watching the races, the Reno chocobo seemed inclined to nap unless the mun gets online and says something different, so Romeo was inclined to let him. He wandered out of the cabin and over to the first campfire with people, still carrying the box of Liir's cookies.

"This is a nice fire," he observed, settling in against a tree.

"Think so?" He greeted Romeo with a smile. "I can do better. Actually, no I can't so I'm glad you like it."

[withoutverona]

"I could do no better," Romeo said. "There's not much call for fires at home."

He considered. "I do have a lighter, but that does no good if the thing's not together properly."

"I got by with some matches and kindling," he explained. "Benefit of a few camping trips back home."
