Oh look, there were tables and chairs over here too, away from all the informational stuff. Enjoy the food!

Even Kaylee knew when to back off a subject, so it was time to just go with it. "Oh right, night walking! I know how that goes. Do some of my best thinkin' out on night walks."

"Exactly," he said, smiling in both relief and gratitude. "There's the moon and the stars and it's quiet. But it's a good quiet not a forced quiet."

"Don't got a moon at home," she admitted. "But the stars help, when I can see 'em."

Ned refrained, thankfully, from pointing at her and yelling 'you're from space!' since the moon comment pretty much gave that away. That or she really really needed glasses.

"No moon?" He didn't know why or how or even where it came from but he looked down at his feet, at his shoe and drew a big circle in the grass and dirty with the toe of one shoe. "There, you have a moon now. It's not a sun because there are no rays. It's a moon. Trust me."

"It looks like a moon," she said, tilting her head and grinning. "Clearly not a planet or a sun. Thanks. I kinda live on a moon, at home, but it ain't as pretty as that one, or Earth's."

"You live on moon?" Ned asked, curiosity taking over for the shock. "Isn't dark there? With lots of rocks?"

"It's just that it's too little to be considered a planet," Kaylee explained. "It's been terraformed an' all. No problem livin' there."

"I live in a village with a sunflower field," he said lamely. "A gigantic sunflower field."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Shiny," Kaylee said enviously. "I love sunflowers. They're so big and bright and happy. Only ever seen 'em a couple times, though."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Wait, I have one." He didn't but he made a show of patting down his shirt and pants and then looking sad. "I left them in my other pants. I tend to keep sunflowers there just to give out!"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

Kaylee grinned and tsked at him. "Such a disappointment. And here I was gonna give you some moondust in exchange."

Well, no. But she could dust off her boots and offer him that.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"I don't really have a sunflower in my other pants," he confessed quietly. "You should give the moondust to someone who might actually have a sunflower. The only thing that's in my other pants is lint and probably a half eaten pack of Lifesavers. Unless Digby ate the rest. He sometimes does that."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Is it okay for a dog to eat those?" she asked, wondering what Lifesavers were.

"As long as he stays out of the alcohol," Ned said as seriously as he could manage. "The last thing I need is a dog on a bender. Again."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

She almost laughed, and then paused and went, "...did that really happen?"

She didn't want to laugh if it was bad for him.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"No," he said, pleased that he'd gotten her that time. "No, he only drinks coffee."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Don't believe you," she decided, giggling in earnest now.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Why not?" Ned asked, trying to stay serious. "My coffee drinking dog would be sad that you don't believe him."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Digby'll have to get over it," Kaylee told him, very serious.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, he's probably already over it," Ned said, imagining Digby sprawled across his bed. Or eating his sheets. He hoped the former. "No pets for you?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Not yet, but oooh, I'd want one." She tilted her head. "Maybe I could get a little kitty. But not one that looks like a gremlin."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"A what?" Ned asked, wide eyed. "A gremlin? That's a car."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"No! Didn't no one tell you?" Kaylee's eyes were huge. "They're icky li'l things that'll bite you and make you hallucinate!"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Is gremlin another name for drugs?" Ned asked, note quite getting the concept of bite. "Just say no! I took DARE!"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

Kaylee gave him a funny look and shook her head, rolling her eyes. "No! My big sister told me! They're little critters that'll bite you, and you do embarrassing things, but it wears off."
