Galaxy Quest campfire - Tuesday evening - 7/14

[cutsthestrings]

After the disastrous discussion she'd had with Arthur at the reserves, Fiona had made her way back to her cabin and tried to relax a bit with a book. Books, however, had brought up the discussion in her mind and after slicing off half of her bedsheet with one of the pages, she'd decided that a fire might be the way to go

"Fiona," Kenshin said, as he wandered by. "...Are you okay?"

He noticed these things, even if he wasn't as good as he would be as an adult.

[saikyou_no]

"So will I."

Arthur really hadn't struck him as stupid.

Which might have said more about Kenshin than about Arthur.

She sighed once more before kicking a rock into the fire.

"So... how's the play going?"

Distracting herself distracting herself distracting herself was good.

"I... Think it's going okay," he replied. His ability to understand Geoffrey hadn't increased, and he had no way of knowing that the weird accidents that kept happening were anything abnormal for the theater."

[cutsthestrings]

"That's good. And your classes? What're you taking?"

She smiled a little, and it was fake but still a good sign.

"I keep forgetting to ask on Fridays."

"Rangering," he replies. "And... something to do with 'superheroes,' and design."

The small woman frightened him.

[cutsthestrings]

She laughed, just a little.

"I'm in rangering with you," she reminded him, "and I was in the design class last semester. It's really not too bad. Promise."

[saikyou_no]

"It's not?" he asked, a little hope in his voice. "It seems..."

[cutsthestrings]

"She's insane," Fiona continued, unbothered, "but as long as you just do what she says, you should be fine."

[saikyou_no]

"I think I can manage that," he said, relief evident in his voice.

[cutsthestrings]

"...you might have a little trouble when it comes to the spandex, though."

She only realized that now.

[saikyou_no]

"...What's 'spandex'?"

[cutsthestrings]

Oh dear.

"It's a kind of cloth. That stretches. People wear it very, um, tight."

[saikyou_no]

"...Oro?"

[cutsthestrings]

"...I could show you my costume from last semester if you wanted."

[saikyou_no]

"Ano.... All right," he says. Maybe it would help.
