Benjamin Harrison Campfire - Late Wednesday Evening

[guardianborn]

Five days since Rose had seen Lissa, and that was longer than she remembered since they'd met sitting next to each other in kindergarten.  When she was by herself, she couldn't stop mentally poking at that oddly blank spot in her head where Lissa was supposed to be.  Every once and a while, Rose could almost feel a whisper of emotion from the spot

Elspeth returned from a late evening ride with Gwena and sat down at the campfire. "Has the bread gone bad?" she asked, curious.

[guardianborn]

Rose looked up then shook her head ruefully. "Nah, it's evil bread," she said lightly. "Looked at me funny."

[formerbrat]

"Then it's getting its just due," Elspeth smiled. "I'm Elspeth, by the way."

[guardianborn]

She smiled back and offered Elspeth a piece. "Would you like to kick its butt too? And I'm Rose. You're in this cabin too, right?"

Firekeeper and Blind Seer were passing by the cabin when the former caught sight of Rose. She stopped and tilted her head at her companion in a questioning gesture, before nodding decisively and moving to sit down at the firepit.

"Rose. Hello." Firekeeper offered in greeting.

[guardianborn]

"Hey Blysse," Rose said easily, shredding another piece of bread. "Blind Seer. I saw you guys both got to fly yesterday in class."

[kestrelswolf]

Firekeeper nodded. "We is now only wolves that fly," she said, smiling a little as she recalled yesterday's class.

[guardianborn]

"Will all the other wolves be jealous?" she asked.

Leda looked a bit unsteady on her feet, and sang softly to herself. Someone she'd known once had informed her that the lyrics were actually a poem by some guy named Yeats.

She'd drunk enough to forget who'd told her. Mission accomplished.

"And I thought I was the only one up this late." she said, spotting Rose.

[guardianborn]

"Sorry," Rose said. "Not that lucky."

[anarchist_queen]

"Hey who says I was complaining?" She sank down onto one of the logs and stared into the fire for a moment. "I'm Leda, one of the new kids."

[guardianborn]

*points to narrative* There's not actually a fire just a pit.

"Rose," she said with a quick smile. "I just came too. How are you liking it?"

[morpherboy]

This time, Marco didn't trip over his own two feet on his way to the campfire. Instead, he walked out normally, clutching a bag of marshmallows.

[guardianborn]

"Are you working on your entrance making skills?" Rose teased once she caught sight of Marco.

[morpherboy]

"Of course." Marco said instantly. "Marshmallow?"

[guardianborn]

She held her hand up for him to throw one to her. "I would never turn one down."

Worf was not much for sleeping. In fact he was just coming back from his run through the preserve when he spied the activity at the campfire.

"Typically most people light a fire in the evening," Worf observed.

Yes. That was a greeting.

[guardianborn]

"I don't know how," Rose admitted. She looked up to the new guy and her eyes widened. "But if you do, go for it."

[sonofmogh]

Worf let out a grunt. "Very well. But you are to observe this method so you can start one on your own next time."

[guardianborn]

Rose choked on her laughter as she tried to keep a straight face. "But people always come by to light it eventually," she pointed out.
