Main campfire [Monday evening]

Ben still had a residual headache from the pounding music in Stark's earlier in the day, but he decided that it was nothing grilled sausages and marshmallows couldn't fix

"I'm surprised you haven't found a way to roast ice cream yet," Tahiri teased, coming out to sit beside him. "Unless that's what you're thinking about right now."

[momslilassassin]

"Maybe some kind of protective coating," Ben mused, "but I think it would just make a mess. Hi, you."

[weetuskenraider]

"Hi," Tahiri said, leaning over to kiss him. "I still haven't found that nerf yet, by the way."

[momslilassassin]

He grinned when he pulled back. "Should I ask Aunt Leia?"

Firekeeper and Blind Seer had had a busy day in the preserve, and to show for it, they had two fat rabbits. Blind Seer had already eaten his share, and Firekeeper had contemplated having hers out in the woods as well before deciding that perhaps it would be best to do so at one of the campfires in an attempt to be social.

"Hello, Ben," she said, as she spotted a fire already going. "Is it possible to share your fire?"

[weetuskenraider]

"Hi, Firekeeper. Blind Seer," Tahiri greeted them enthusiastically. "Good hunting today?"

[kestrelswolf]

Firekeeper nodded. "Could have perhaps caught more," she admitted. "But, there is no real need to," she added with a shrug. "Enough to fill my belly, and perhaps to share with a few. Not too many here like rabbit."

[weetuskenraider]

"You know I don't mind." Tahiri reached a hand out to scratch Blind Seer between the ears. "That is, if you don't mind sharing, and that's probably a stupid question, isn't it?"

Tim followed his nose out to the campfire where yummy things were cooking. "Whatever you're making smells awesome," he said.

[momslilassassin]

"Sausage," Ben said, grinning. "So far, they haven't caught fire. I'm very pleased with myself. Want a few?"

[boywonder03]

"If you've got enough to spare," Tim said. He sat down on one of the logs and waved a hand. "I'm Tim, by the way."

[momslilassassin]

"You always bring enough to spare around here," Ben said with a laugh. "Nice to meet you, Tim. I'm Ben. You're from the new crop of students, right?"

"Dude," Puck greeted Ben cheerfully, "do you have like, graham crackers and chocolate to go with the marshmallows? Because I've been told we're like, deficient unless we eat them all together. And I don't do things half-assedly."

Some people say 'hello,' Puck.

[momslilassassin]

"Of course," Ben said, laughing. "I don't want to be run out of town by angry, s'mores-less people."

[sexonyoursheets]

"It's scary. There were threats the other night when I just had marshmallows," he admitted.

[momslilassassin]

"And angry people with sugar that catches fire is a dangerous combination," Ben declared. "I try to keep them happy."

Karla was in a much better mood tonight at this campfire than she'd been last night. Today had been a good day, which made all the difference.

"Kiss kiss!" she called to everyone already at the campfire. "I come bearing gifts!"

The great thing about grocery stores? They sold vegetables already marinated and on skewers. All anyone needed to do was hold them over a grill or a fire and viola! Instant meal.

That Karla would find some way to ruin anyway.

[momslilassassin]

"Are they terribly expensive gifts?" Ben asked.

[glacial_witch]

"Far too expensive for the likes of you," Karla informed Ben with a haughty sniff. "Only for those wit palates refined enough to appreciate them."

By that she meant 'not ice cream.'

[momslilassassin]

"And here I was going to offer you my sausage," Ben said sadly.
