[And Zeke's already there, with marshmallows at the ready.
He is not missing out on s'mores, no siree. Stick in hand, he has several marshmallows stuck onto the end of it, shoved into the fire. They're better half-burned, anyway.]
[Oh man, that smells delicious. Well, you know what Zeke? If Ezra can't have anything nice, neither can you. He'll be snatching that burning stick from you, now.]
[Kevas said he would bring the liquor and indeed he brought the liquor, two large duffel bags worth of liquor in fact. One was filled exclusively with whiskey and the other one with vodka. And that was pretty much all he brought with him, with the exception of his pack anyway.
It just wasn't a camping trip without an excessive amount of booze.]
[And Mimmi has semi-reluctantly risked a visit. She's never been camping before, and other people would be there, so it would probably be safe for the most part.
However, the first thing she did was seek out Kevas.]
[Lucas arrives at the specified edge of the forest by way of the forest itself. He looks eager and excited to help and as such, laughs a bit at the already set up tents.]
Well dang, hun, y'look like y'got it all set up already.
[Who's that sneaking around the perimeter of the camp, spying on the goings on? Ezra? No, couldn't be. That blonde hair and blue coat obviously belong to someone else.
And as soon as the opportunity presents itself, he's in everything. The tents, the weapons pile, the mysterious boxes that seem to hold snacks. Oh yes, he'll just be helping himself to a few of those and sneaking back off to investigate more closely in private now.]
[Zhaneel watches from the sidelines of the camp site, her golden gaze following around the poking and prodding form of Ezra. She pads up, clearing her throat softly as she approaches to try to avoid sending him screaming in a different direction.
Her ear tufts are forward and curious though .. because she's never seen a bag of marshmallows before.]
What .. are those?
[She pads closer, eying the bag in Ezra's hand with both curiosity and doubt.]
[Ezra jumps and reels around, but he neither screams nor runs. A step in the right direction, at least. His eyes are huge as he looks up at Zhaneel, frozen in place.
But she's not attacking, or showing any sign of aggression. Hopefully, he's made the right decision to forgive Zhaneel.
He relaxes the tiniest bit, holding it open for Zhaneel to see.]
[She lowers herself to the ground near him, so as not to be so BIG and HULKING in comparison to his tiny form. She's conscious of the impact she's had on him, and what she's done to him and is trying her best. She knows he will never see her as unassuming again, nor precisely innocent, ever again.
She looks at the bag as he holds it for her to see, never having seen the white puffs before in her life. She reaches out a talon and pokes at one of them, succeeding in puncturing the sugary cube so it's stuck fast.]
They are .. sticky ..
[She would make a face if possible. As it is, her tone is disapproving as she tries to sake it off and fails.]
[Amy sort of shuffles morosely into the camp, visibly depressed but trying valiantly not to let on just how upset she still is about Rory's disappearance from Vertiline. She hasn't taken off the ring he gave her here, and--she's got his gladius too, attached to the balteus looped across her chest. Threat of wild animals? She's ready for them. Even though she has absolutely no idea how to actually wield a sword.]
[Zhaneel has been watching the arrival of various people, keeping kind of to the sidelines. She hasn't met all of those that are here and doesn't wish to alarm anyone by being a 'big, scary, monster' when it's one of the things they're actually concerned about out here.
She spies Amy, though .. and though she doesn't know the woman there is a sadness to her form that is very familiar to the gryphon. Yeah, Zhaneel knows all about losing those you love, Amy.
The gryphon learned something new tonight .. she learned about hot chocolate .. she learned about how well hot chocolate goes with various liquors that her troll-brother brought along. She hadn't known any of this before tonight. The more you know, eh?
So, thermos of *ahem* special cocoa in hand, the gryphon pads quietly over toward the woman and sits next to her. She clears her throat softly to announce herself and bobs her head once in greeting.]
Heyla .. I hope I am not being a bother .. I .. I thought you might care for a bit of .. What was it .. Ahh .. Hot chocolate? [She
( ... )
[Amy isn't too alarmed by Zhaneel; they both arrived together, after all, and she's met some pretty weird looking aliens while traveling with the Doctor. A giant gryphon is pretty tame, considering. She gives Zhaneel her best attempt at a smile and takes the thermos]
[Zhaneel bobs her head and shifts, curling up on the ground near Amy like a big dog; a big dog that, while laying down, remains as big as a draft horse. She looks pleased that Amy has accepted the thermos and with a soft ruffling of feathers she fluffs herself up and relaxes.]
Thank you .. Please help yourself .. Kevas helped me prepare it.
[She'd already had a thermos herself, but then a gryphon's threshold for alcohol was far greater than many.]

[She'll stand, awkwardly, and pat off some dirt on her hands.]
Though 'ccordin' Ezra, we've gotta hunt for our food. So not quite everthin' is ready.
Reply
[He stretches a bit and looks over his shoulder to the forest he came from.]
But 'm guessin' I can hunt somethin' down real quick.

Idle hands, y'know? That'd be mighty handy. Seems like my huntin' partner's busy, anyways.
