Main Campfire - Morning before classes

[need_no_moon]

Weather still too hot. Check. Cabin stinking of leeches. Check. Half naked boy. Check. Half naked boy eating. Check

Warren really didn't have much of a reason to be out and about this early in the day. He didn't have any classes today, and he could very well be sleeping in at this very moment, were it not for the combination of restlessness that things said to him earlier in the week brought, and the fact that he felt claustrophobic as all heck, crammed into a little alcove like that.

"Morning," he greeted, nodding at the boy who was already there before pulling up a seat. "Expecting another hot one, huh?"

At the rate the day was going, muggy and hot as it was, Warren was half tempted to pull his own shirt off as well.

"My philosophy is to always be prepared for hot ones," Jake smirked. That and he'd just slept wolf shaped outside again. He'd just been too lazy to go back to the cabin and brave the stink. "I'm considering a move to the Arctic."

"If you promise to take me with you, I'll even fund the expedition," Warren replied, smiling faintly. "The great outdoors would be so much better if they came with air conditioning."

Warren didn't really get out much, growing up. It probably showed.

Jake snorted. "I don't disagreed right now. You've got money to spare?" he asked, not really used to people offering a funding.

"You have food," Didi observed as she approached the campfire.

It wasn't quite asking nicely, but it did come with puppydog eyes....

[need_no_moon]

"I do," Jacob agreed, holding up the muffin he was eating. "Good food too."

Look, he was going to resist the puppydog eyes for half a second, so he might as well use it to be evil while it lasted.

Didi would play along. "Good food that you're going to share?" she asked hopefully. "Or do you need it all? I wouldn't want to stunt your growth by taking food out of your mouth."

[need_no_moon]

"Yes, and I so need to grow some more," said the boy who'd grown over two feet since he'd arrived. He obviously needed every muffin to get to 7'.

"Perhaps," Rosalind drawled, with a quirk of her lips. "You'd be best living in the ocean today if you're shirtless already."

That was hello. On some planet.

[need_no_moon]

"I'm planning on it once I finished class," he grinned up at her, accepting that as an hello on Rosalind planet. "You should go buy that swimsuit and come join me."

That was hello back.

"You're like a broken record," she said, glancing around and choosing to remain standing for once. "Did you know that?"

[need_no_moon]

"Sure sure," he nodded. "One of those you can't toss out for sentimental reasons."

Add one to the people about to ask to share.

"Kiss kiss--ooh, is that a bag from J,GoB?" Karla asked, as she approached the group. "If it is, are you willing to share?" She wasn't entirely sure whose bag it was, so she was addressing the group at large. "I can even trade..." She paused, trying to think of something she had that she could offer in exchange. "...Tea?"

Maybe she'd be lucky and the pastries would be Didi's?

[need_no_moon]

Nope, no luck. The bag was Jake's. All Jake's.

"I dunno, what kind of tea?" Jake wasn't a tea person, but something to drink wasn't too bad.

[glacial_witch]

Damn and blast then.

"Peppermint?" Karla offered. "That's at least a little cooling, and I can just put the kettle on a rock and let it steep in the sunlight." And then she laughed at herself. "Or, I can offer you some of the water that I was going to use to make the tea instead."

[need_no_moon]

"Water sounds a lot more cooling than hot tea, yeah," Jake nodded, debating if it was worth a whole muffin.
