~: Camping Trip :~

In the open?! Rhone was shocked at that. Was she some kind of wild girl? "Well, we can find you a cabin back at camp. You shouldn't be sleeping outside in the wilderness! And if the other cabins are full," he scratched his head, trying to figure out a way to word his suggestion, "You can-you can room with us." He felt himself blush at the suggestion. Sharing a room with a girl was something he wasn't used to, but he wasn't going to let her sleep outside in the wild. He hoped Jasped wouldn't mind him inviting another roommate and raised and eyebrow towards him, silently asking if it was alright, while avoiding looking directly at Aly.

 

Aly ducked her head, cringing slightly, then stopped. He didnt' hit her. This was even more puzzling. He actually seemed to care enough that he offered her to bunk with them. "I um...thank you." she murmured, blushing as much, if not more then him. "I have to say....I um...have trouble with guys." she murmured, rubbing her arm self consciously. "Just....please don't get angry with me, if I take up too much room." she mentally beat herself for that. It made it sound like she wanted to room with them instead of another girl, a complete stranger, who might tell if she figured out the secret. Maybe she did...

 

What's that about? Rhone stopped walking, surprised at her physical and verbal reaction. Trying to make her feel more welcomed and less tense, he smiled and assured her, "Take all the room you want. I promise I won't get angry with you. In fact, I hope you won't get furious with me if I do something bad. I don't really have experience rooming with girls..." Rhone had started to forget Jasped was there, too. "But I got to warn you, sometimes I can snore pretty loud," he said with a small laugh.

 

Aly giggled slightly. "I've heard worse. You can't be that bad." she smiled, actually smiled. It felt like she was using muscles she never had before. This was weird. Maybe summer camp wasnt just a hideaway, but a place to learn. She sure was. As for the bad things he mentioned, when he roomed with girls, she shrugged that off. She was used to thing like that, it would be something more normal. "Don't worry, I'm sure you're fine."

 

Jasped nodded to Rhone when he raised his eyebrow, watching Aly's reactions. "Hmm..... Well, it really is no problem. And no worries about taking up room. Despite my size, I don't need much space." He looked around the forest as it got darker. "We really should get out of here now....Its getting dark..."

 

Aly looked up, surprised. "You guys are afraid of the woods at night?" she asked. SHe was almost starting to get a headache, this was so new. Guys who didn't hit and were afraid enough of the dark to not want to stay, but cared enough about her to invite her to stay with them.

 

Rhone hadn't even noticed it was getting dark, he still answered. "I'm not scared of the dark, but I get nervous when I can't see what's there." Kind of ironic, he thought to himself with a smile, referring to his ability.

 

Aly tilted her head slightly, noticing his facial expressions. She didn't question it. Guys didn't seem to like that. "So...Walk faster or leave me behind?" she smiled lopsidely, half expecting one, not knowing what they would say about the other. She pulled her sleeve down self consiousciouly, thinking.

 

Rhone wasn't sure how to reply at first. He considered playfully grabbing her hand and pulling her while walking faster, but she seemed too jumpy for that, and he wasn't sure if that was too forward. So he simply said, "Let's just enjoy the journey back," keeping both hands in his pocket.

 

Aly nodded, keeping her gaze on the ground, peeking at both guys under her lashes. They seemed so different then the guys she knew, who, she had to admit, had been few, and all were relatives. Maybe the outside world wasn't such a bad place, if there were people like this. Still, she had to keep an eye on them. Just to make sure.

 

Ken took his time getting in he was surpissed how fast Tyler was but he would keep his surprisment to himself. He looked at the items that was in the cabin he could tell she wanted the top so he would happily take a bottom bunk. Ken smiled about not touching her stuff it was an typical female warning to males. "alright i wont touch any of your stuff" he said to her smilling. Then he turned his attention to Tyler "well its good that we are not caughing to death" he said to him happily.

 

"No helping!" She whined, walking over to him and blinking. "Um. Will you show me how, though, please?" She asked, standing at his side and keeping her eyes on the pebble in his hand. She couldn't believe she had forgotten.

 

Aria's face flushed as she watched him, gaping. She turned towards him again before scooping another pebble into her hand and trying again. It skipped once before sinking under the surface. Pressing her lips together, she blinked before turning towards him again.

"Better, at least?" She wondered, eyes bright.

 

Mizore smiled back to Ken and Tyler. "I hope I didn't sound demanding...but I just wanted to get that straight. Oh, and try not to make too much noise in the mornings. I'm not much of a morning person." She popped out the regular mint lollipop from her mouth and took a quick sip from her cream soda can before asking something else.

"And have you guys eaten yet? The food looks pretty good at the mess hall."

 

Tyler mumbled through his pillow, hugging it tight as one would a pet or a stuffed bear.

"Alright, no touchy the landlord's stuffy. I get it."

Clamping his eyes shut, he settled in for a nice long sleep. Surely no one would disturb him right...right?

 

Aria giggled, walking towards Alaric with a slight nod.

"Then let's go grab something to eat." She told him, taking his hand in her's and beginning to walk towards the Dinner Hall. She yawned slightly, squeezing his hand tighter as she moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder as they walked, closing her eyes. "What do you think you'll get...?" She wondered aloud, walking beside him.

 

Ken laughed silently as he watched Tyler admire the pillow he held on too. He heard Mizore explain her reason it was understandable so he gave her an smile to show he was not mad or confuzzed. "alright lets check out the food while Tyler get some sleepy" Ken said to her smilling.
