Out by the main campfire, there were a few tables set up, and a slim, nervous-looking brunette standing in front of them.

"Morning!" she said cheerfully. "If you want coffee, there's a ton, and I brought doughnuts? I hope that's okay with you guys. If you want me to bring different stuff next week, let me know."

She gripped her own coffee cup, and smiled. "Um, so hi. I'm Rory, and I know...most of you. And welcome to the workshop that has the really long name because I was in a creative mood when I submitted it, so we're just going to call it Glitter, okay? And this workshop is just going to be about making ordinary things more sparkly. Because sparkles are never a bad thing, right? Unless you get glitter in your hair. That stuff makes friends with your scalp or something and just never washes out, so be careful. "

She cleared her throat. "Um, so this is going to be pretty easy today. I want everyone to introduce yourselves, say your age and the grade you'll be in the fall, favorite color, and...favorite pizza topping. And then after that, I've got some shirts for you guys," she pointed to a table laden with glitter of all colors, glitter glue pens, puff paint, feathers, hot glue ~~and all kinds of moddable goodies~~ and a neat stack of white T-shirts. "You can do whatever you want to them, okay? Just be creative, and they're yours to keep."

"Right! So, introductions." She waved. "My name's Rory Gilmore, I'm eighteen and just graduated, so I'll be a freshman at Yale in the fall. Well, technically freshman with sophomore credits, but that's irrelevant. My favorite color is blue, and I like just about anything on my pizza, but pepperoni is my favorite."

She looked around, smiling. "Who wants to go next?"

Luke sighed. "Oh. That's probably why he was flying so fast."

"I know," she said.

Luke ran his gloved hand through his hair. "Why did you tell him?"

"I didn't mean to," she said softly. "It just...came out."

Luke sighed again. "You hurt him, so he hurt you," he said softly. "And he's had a lot of practice being hateful."

"He hurt me worse than what I did to him."

Luke glanced over at the basket again. "And he knows it," he commented. "What did he do?"

"He knows my weak points. So he hit them," she said, shrugging.

Luke shook his head, clearly unhappy. "I'd say he's trying to remember how to interact with people, but...no. That's just being cruel."

He was going to yell tomorrow, oh yes.

Rory shrugged again. "I can deal."

Luke leaned his head so it rested on top of hers. "You shouldn't have to," he said, eyes flashing. "I wouldn't put up with this kind of behavior from anyone else," he continued. "He doesn't get a pass just because we're related."

"...you really don't have to say anything."

"You're my best friend and he's being an absolute..." Luke bit back an extremely rude Huttese curse, shaking his head. "No. He's getting an earful."

"It's fine," she insisted.

"It's not," he insisted right back.

"It is."

Luke sighed. "You're not going to convince not to do this," he said flatly.

Rory rolled her eyes. "He's an idiot.

"This is not news," Luke agreed, "but he can be an idiot at someone else I don't love quite as much."

And that just called for a hug.
