Dungeon Residential Camps, Somewhere, Wednesday, Day Two of Two

[not_a_whiner]

At Fandom, the sun reached its highest point in the sky. Down (or was it up?) here in the dungeon, a next day broke, each hour occupying the space of only half. It was only noticeable to those with keen senses, or those who might've kept an eye on the fireplaces: the figurines had switched places again as night changed.

Well. It might have also been noticeable to anyone who'd wandered into a room with a sky and a visible sun.

"Well, you're also not dead, so you must still be doing something right."

Good enough.

"Well, I'm also a survivor," Cade said with a shrug. "I just have to be smarter than the next dumbest guy."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"And that's smart enough." Her standards were maybe lowered to a dungeon-appropriate level, right now. She sighed. "I think I'll brave the maze again tomorrow."

Well, you couldn't let one little vampire incident get you down for... more than two days.

"Make sure you come back too," Cade said, which was what passed for concern with him.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"I'm touched by your concern." A little sarcasm never hurt anyone, especially when it was covering up a sliver of truth. "But yes, that's the idea."

"Good," Cade said with a little smile. "We need all the body heat we can get in this karking place."

Well, Natalie gave that a quiet snort. Which was about as far as she was going to go in the direction of being amused, under the circumstances.

"Well, I don't think I give off too much of that in the first place."

"You seem pretty warm to me," Cade said.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Is that an assessment of my body temperature, my temperament, or just some kind of a euphemism?"

Sometimes you had to ask these things. Mostly, in Natalie's case, when you wanted the distraction.

"Which answer won't get me hit?" Cade asked.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"None of them will get you hit."

If only because the dungeon situation meant that hurting people was even more pointless than usual.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Cade shrugged. "Then the first two."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Yeah, neither of those would get you hit anywhere," she said. "Disagreed with, but not hit."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Not good with compliments?" Cade asked.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"Better with facts."

That would change.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

"Well, unless you've gone suddenly reptilian on me, you're still pretty warm," Cade pointed out, "and I've never really trusted the overly effusive types. Seem to be trying to hard, you know?"

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"You're just saying that because the island made you spill secrets at me the other week and now you have to play nice."

That was probably a joke.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

Cade smiled. "Only a little bit."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"It's the bit that counts," Natalie told him, then went to pat him on his uninjured cheek. Because she felt like it, and these were the times when some whims got through simply because she couldn't keep everything in check in the usual way.

And yes, her hand was basic human warm. "Knew you couldn't be trusted."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Cade said, smiling again. "Most people pick that up pretty fast."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"I'm not most people," she said, dropping her hand again. "No comment on whether most people tend to pick up on that fast or not."

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"And here my comment was going to be karking hilarious," Cade declared.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[whenshewasnice]

"No it wasn't."

Yes, she'd decided that for him.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"I can be funny!"

Hardly ever, really.

Snort. "By accident, I'm sure."

Said the girl whose humour was mostly either desert dry or snarky, or both.
