Squirrel Campfire - A quiet Saturday morning

[strongestgirl]

Pippi is sitting by the campfire, which does have a fire going.

Not a roaring fire. And not exactly "fire" per sae, more like a pile of glowing coals. It doesn't give off a lot of light but it does give off quite a bit of heat to hold back the chilly morning fog.

Also in the fire ring are a number of foil wrapped pouches, a coffee pot, and a

Pip waved to Pippi as he sat down at the fire. He pointed at the at the pouches with a questioning look on his face.

Pippi opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out.

Hmm, first she couldn't hum, now she can't talk.

She turns her attention back to Pip and makes a motion bringing her hand to her mouth as if eating. Then she pointed to a nonresistant watch on her wrist and then held her thumb and forefinger close together to indicate a little bit.

She pointed to the coffee pot with a questioning look on her face.

Pip blinked.

Instead, he said:

He blinked in suprised. And then cursed several times in three languages.

[strongestgirl]

Well, that answered that question.

She waited for him to finish not cursing.

Seras was a little peeved when she stepped out of the cabin. She'd heard of getting a frog in one's throat, but this was ridiculous.

Pippi waved Seras over and took up the poker to write in the dirt.

CAN'T TALK HUH?

[union_jane]

Seras pointed to Pippi and mouthed "You too?"

Pippi nodded and waved her hand around to indicate... other people and possibly the birds in the trees.

Next to her, Mr. Neilson jumped up and down waving his hat. It looked like he was trying to screech angrily... But nothing was coming out.

HAVE SOME BREAKFAST?

Is scratched into the dirt.
